Beyond Obedience:Meet Our Pack

Beyond Obedience has always been committed to offering the best quality of service to YOUR DOG.   By that I mean, we work hard to ensure that we always consider your dogs "state of mind" when approaching all of our services whether it be  boarding, daycare, grooming or our training.  We take our time with shy or nervous dogs, carefully orchestrating play groups and socialization to naturally bring out the dogs innate qualities. We meticulously match up assertive or dominate dogs with appropriate Beyond Obedience pack members to bring out a softer side.  AND our results speak for themselves.  Guest of Beyond Obedience are balanced and relaxed and settle in after only a day or two.   The advantage we have here at Beyond Obedience is our wonderful pack of balanced dogs.  Each dog brings his or her own qualities to the pack and our guest benefit from it greatly.
MEET THE PACK:



Wellington
WELLINGTON:   Wellington Greybear aka " Walkmaster Wellington"  is our "ALPHA" male.  He is as close to an alpha male as you can get.  He is a breeder and his offspring live  here with him at the facility. Wellington is one of the coolest dogs you will ever meet.   He is a natural leader, calm and assertive with a wonderfully playful side.  Watching Wellington command a socialization group is an experience in itself.




Mariah



MARIAH:  Bronze Beauty   is her registered name and beauty describes Mariah's personality perfectly.  Mariah is the kindest dog with a sweet soul.  A known favorite in the community,  Mariah wins the hearts of all those she meets.  She has been a Tracy's side kick for all In home consultations as well as making appearances at McNab Public School to do talks with the kids about dog safety and all Tracy's  seminars and public appearances.









The "girls"


THE "GIRLS" :  Consisting of 6 lovely Newfoundland girls
Berlin (3 years old) Dakota, Echo, and Eclipse (2 years old)  and Storm and Sierra( 9 months old).  Although the adolescent girls can be challenging right now (as most adolescents are) Berlin, Dakota, Echo and Eclipse work hard every day helping out in Pack Walks and socialization groups.  Their good work has been seen most recently with Bruno; a recently adopted dog from the Arnprior District Humane Society.  Bruno struggled with some socialization skills which made it difficult to find his forever home.








Lincoln
LINCOLN:  Lincoln, is a mature male doberman.  He is most frequently seen in our popular Pack Walks. Join us for a pack walk and chances are you'll get handed Lincoln at some point in the walk.  Lincoln also makes appearances for demonstrations during classes and seminars.  He is clever and goofy and an absolute joy. He has also assisted a few people who have a fear of dobermans.  He has a way of sneaking into your heart...whether you want him there or not.










Zack (foreground) 
ZACK:  Zack is a mature Jack Russell.  Zack works behind the scenes keeping the facility in tip top shape. Zack is a working Jack Russell and he takes his job of vermin control very seriously.  Sometimes Zack joins demonstrations in classes as the "dog on flexi leash not listening to handler"   See everyone has a role here at Beyond Obedience.












Chuckles
CHUCKLES: Chuckles is Mark's dog.  He has long ears..... moving on....











Arlington




ARLINGTON:  Arlington plays an important role with rough and tumble girls like Harley.  Harley has a difficult time finding a suitable playmate that matches her unique play style and Arlington  fit the bill quite nicely.










Rue
RUE: Rue is a one year old Australian Shepard.  She brings the fun into every play group.  Rue's job description: play and socialize.  She gets  up early every morning to greet all the new boarders and daycare dogs for the day, and then makes sure everyone has a good time.  She is certainly a fun addition to our pack.












Jake
 JAKE:  Jake is a senior Australian Shepard.  Jake came into our lives at the age of 12 and is now 14.  Although he is almost completely deaf and almost blind, he is still one of my kids absolute favorite dogs.  Jake still has an amazing work ethic and makes awesome snow forts with the kids in the winter.  We  quite often have to make sure the kids take it easy on the old timer but if it were up to him, he'd never stop. We are so blessed to have him in our lives.

Dear Tracy,
I know I have told you but I don’t think I could ever express enough of my appreciation what you have done for Tonka and me.Tonka has a big heart and just loves to be around people and dogs. But with his excitable personality he really does give of the wrong signals. So what I did before I met you was kept Tonka away from those situations that made me feel uncomfortable. I just didn’t want people to be afraid of Tonka or fear that Tonka may hurt them or their dog. I know Tonka won’t hurt anyone but his actions don’t show that to others. But now I know that was wrong. You showed me that what I was doing was actually making the situation worse. Tonka really needs to be around other dogs within a controlled setting.

But then we met you; and you took the time to work with both Tonka and I which I greatly appreciate. I noticed right away that you have a fantastic way around dogs, and it comes so natural to you. Tonka and I are so lucky to have met you.
Again, we sincerely thank you and hope your business will continue for many, many years because it’s so greatly need.
Friends Always,
Lynn & Tonka
