Meet Ozzy, officially the fluffiest member of the Paws+ family and new Practice Pup!

Ozzy is a 2 year old Pomeranian with an incredible power to make anyone smile. I mean come on, look at that little face!

Recall with Maisie

Recall is a VERY expensive behaviour, meaning that the dog is giving up on something rewarding (ex. Sniffing a bush, playing with a dog, chasing rabbits or squirrels, etc.) in order to listen and return to you. This is not an automatic behaviour and is often very under rewarded! In this video you can see that Maisie and I are working on laying a strong foundation for her recall in a more distracting environment.

Positions with Groot

Teaching dogs how to discriminate between sit, down, and stand can be very helpful for many reasons including building a strong foundation for other basic obedience skills, repositioning at the vet or groomers, as well as control in public spaces to name a few.

You can see in this video that Groot is following the food lure with ease and is engaged in the training process. Skills like down or sit stays and other impulse-control behaviours can be built into into our training plans once he has a strong understanding of these positioning behaviours.

Leave-It with Summit

While on a walk a couple of weeks ago, Summit got into some mouldy trash that was left on the ground. Luckily he did not get sick, however it left me feeling frustrated and concerned. It was after this incident that I realized the importance of understanding these instinctual motivators (smells, sounds, tastes, etc.) while in an unknown environment.

Because of this, Summit and I have been working hard on impulse control lately, in this video we are working on his “Leave-It” skills. We will eventually be able to use this behaviour while on walks in order to avoid potentially dangerous/overly tempting obstacles.

Meet Paws+ first Practice Pup, Summit!

He is a three year old Golden Retriever x Bernese Mountain Dog with an incredible love for life! We found each other when he was just a wee pup and have been inseparable ever since. His all-time favourite activity is visiting the beach - he loves to roll in the sand, bark at rocks, and swim like a fish!

Summit is a very food motivated learner and truly enjoys training sessions. Right now we are focussing most closely on recall, loose leash walking, and crate training. Way to go Summit!

Available Training Services:

1. Positions (Sit, Down, Stand)
2. Down/Sit-Stay
3. Leave It
4. Loose Leash Walking
5. Recall

These are the basic services I feel most confident offering at this moment during my studies (additional services will be added over time). I am searching for clients and Practice Pups that are interested in working on these specific themes. Please send me a message or book an appointment if you think we’d make a good fit for one another!

We can begin by scheduling a 15-minute Meet-and-Greet, this gives your dog an opportunity to build trust with their new trainer in a stress-free way and owners a chance to discuss any questions and concerns they may have. I can either visit you outside your home in-person, or we can meet virtually if you prefer (note: I do not currently offer virtual training sessions).

From there we can schedule time(s) for 30-, 60-, or 90-minute sessions that have an emphasis on the training skills you are most interested in working on. These sessions, preferably, will initially take place at my home/neighborhood in the Westshore; you will drop your dog off and pick up once the session is complete. An alternative/future option would be the training session taking place outside your home/around your neighborhood. (note: COVID-19 procedures must be followed at all times).

At this time, all services are completely free of charge

Welcome to Paws+ Dog Training 🐾

Hi everyone, I’m Kate! I’m a adventure-hungry, wildly happy Vancouver Island wanderer and am passionate about an ethical career in dog training and behaviour modification.

I started studying under Jean Donaldson’s Academy for Dog Trainers in January 2021 and am on track to graduate in 2023. This is a two-year, part-time virtual program that focuses on a comprehensive education in all aspects of dog training, modification, and behaviour as well as client counselling and class teaching. The program requires video submissions that clearly exhibits ones progress while working with multiple dogs in various environments, this is where you come in!

I am searching for Practice Pups that I can work with to film these videos and master my skills. If you are interested in scheduling time to discuss my services further, please do not hesitate to reach out, I cannot wait to hear from you!
