Hi all! I know it has been a while since I have posted on here. I hope everyone is doing well 🩷 I am just reaching out to let any of my previous clients know that I have a few Freedom No Pull Harnsses left in my inventory that I am looking to clear out, and I want to offer these to past clients before I post them openly on FB Marketplace. I know these were a popular training tool in my programs, and unfortunately they are not easy to get a hold of. If you are in a need of a new one and would like one, please shoot me a message!

I have four 3/4” mediums, two 1” mediums, and one large. I also have two Halti waist leashes, and two reflective leashes.

Asking $40 per harness, and $20 for the Halti leashes.

Thanks everyone, give your dog a pat from me.

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a little while since I have posted. I have really loved hearing from all of you with your updates, pictures, and well wishes. Thank you for thinking of me and keeping me in the loop!

I have recently discovered Kim of Tumblewood Canine and have started teaching a few classes with her at her beautiful location in Milton. Kim is also a reinforcement-based trainer whose values and techniques heavily align with mine. If anyone is looking for a puppy class, a loose leash walking class, or an off-leash fundamentals class, please reach out to her! I myself will be assisting with the Saturday classes.

For more information please reach out to Kim!

We are SO PROUD of Judy, Doug, and their almost 3 year old Chocolate Lab, Lynda for graduating their BLACK Level last week, completing the entire Levels Program! Lynda started with us in Junior Puppy Class back in August of 2022 as a wild and fiercely intelligent little pup, and has been consistently coming to all kinds of classes. She has now grown in to a mature, loving, and still fiercely intelligent dog who has challenged that energy into making her Mom proud. Together Judy and Lynda have completed Levels, Recall Class, Novice Rally Obedience, and passed their Canine Good Neighbour Test back in May! What an amazing team, we absolutely love having you in class!

Look who graduated their BLACK level on Saturday, aka the entire Levels Program! A huge congratulations to the very dedicated Ashley, Mark, and their little mixed breed, June, for all of your hard work. June started with us as a puppy back in May of 2023, and has been attending classes ever since. She has not only completed her Advanced Obedience with us, but also passed her Canine Good Neighbour Test back in May, and her Novice and Intermediate Level Tricks! We absolutely adore having this sweet girl in class, and look at what a talented artist she is! (Painting was done by teaching June to “hold” the paintbrush in her mouth). We love you June!
