Thank you for your understanding.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and got to enjoy some of this beautiful weather. Here are a few highlights from our Saturday and Sunday adventures. The dogs had a fantastic time exploring the trails, sniffing new scents, and soaking up the sunshine! 🐾☀️

That’s a wrap on another great week of exploring our beautiful region with some of the coolest dogs around. Thanks again for trusting me with your pups and for being part of the Northern Dog crew.

Be bear aware!

Black Bears Active in the Area; Safety Reminder

The North Bay Police Service (NBPS) is advising residents to be Bear Wise as black bears emerge from hibernation and are being spotted on local trails and in neighbourhoods.

Residents are encouraged to review bear safety information and speak with children and youth who may be walking to and from school.

If a bear sees you:
• Do not approach the bear
• Slowly back away toward a school or house while keeping the bear in sight
• Do not turn and run

If a bear moves toward you:
• Slowly back away while making noise, do not run
• Remove and drop your backpack if it contains food
• Yell at the bear to go away
• Do not “play dead”

Bears are attracted to areas where food is easily available. Common attractants include:
• Garbage and recycling
• Cooking smells
• Ripe fruit and pet food left outdoors

If bears find food in a neighbourhood, they are likely to return and may attempt to enter buildings.
The best way to prevent conflict is to remove attractants.

Who to call if you see a bear:
• Emergency: 911
• Non-emergency (report bear sightings): 1-866-514-2327
• TTY: 705-945-7641
