Did you know the program we use at End Of The Leash — Astro Loyalty — has a FREE customer app? 🐾

Not only can you see current promotions and special offers, but you can also track your Frequent Buyer progress right from your phone!

Even better? Many independent pet stores across Canada and the U.S. use Astro. If your new store also uses Astro, transferring your Frequent Buyer information can often be a simple process.

✅ View your reward progress
✅ See current promotions
✅ Keep track of purchases
✅ Access your loyalty information anytime

Already shopping with us? You likely already have an account!

Simply download the Astro Loyalty Consumer App and select "Forgot Password" using the email address you shop with. Your account may already be there waiting for you.

When Jill downloaded the app and completed a password reset, her profile immediately appeared with her current Frequent Buyer progress and available offers — no setup required!

It's a great tool for keeping track of your rewards and making sure you never miss out on free bags, treats, or other Frequent Buyer benefits.

📱 Search "Astro Loyalty Consumer App" in your app store and check it out today!

🐾🏃‍♀️ UNLEASHED 2026 – COURSE REVEAL! 🏃‍♂️🐾
We're excited to officially introduce the course for the inaugural UnLeashed Dog Trail Run happening August 15th!
📍 Starting at Portage Road, participants will head down the LOWER trail toward the Petawawa River, cross the bridge, continue to the trail connection point, then return along the UPPER LEVEL of the Algonquin Trail before crossing the river a second time and finishing back at Portage Road.
🐕 2.5K = One Loop
🐕‍🦺 5K = Two Loops
We designed this route to keep participants moving in the same direction, reducing dog-to-dog congestion and creating a safer, more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Along the way you'll enjoy:
🌲 Beautiful sections of the Algonquin Trail
🌉 Two stunning bridge crossings
🛤️ A mix of pavement and gravel surfaces
🐾 Amazing views of the Petawawa River
To keep things safe and fun, there will be NO mass start. Participants will leave individually every 15–30 seconds. After all, 50 excited dogs starting at once sounds more chaotic than fun! 😆
⚠️ Registration is capped at 50 participants in the 2.5K and 50 participants in the 5K. Many spots are already filled, and once they're gone, registration will close.
If you haven't explored this route yet, grab your dog and check it out. We think you'll quickly see why we chose it!

🐾 Important Update About Our Upcoming UnLeashed Trail Run 🐾

When we were asked to bring something new to the Water & Dirt Festival, we wanted to create a fun, affordable activity that encouraged people to get outside and be active with their dogs. Living and working in Petawawa, we see people running, walking, and exploring the trails with their dogs every day — ourselves included — so it felt like a natural fit for our community.

As we planned the event, we researched canicross and tried to model our event after the fun run and recreational-level events we found. Based on that research, we believed we were creating an accessible introduction to running with your dog.
Since announcing the event, we've learned that within the established canicross community, the term canicross carries specific expectations around equipment, competition standards, and event formats. It was never our intention to misrepresent the sport or offend those who are passionate about it. We simply wanted to create a welcoming community event that got people and their dogs active together.
After listening to the feedback, we have decided to remove the term canicross from our event branding moving forward.
🏃‍♀️🐕 UnLeashed Trail Run by End of the Leash
The event remains exactly what it was always intended to be:
✅ A fun recreational trail run with your dog
✅ A beginner-friendly introduction to the activity
✅ An affordable and welcoming community event
✅ A chance to enjoy our beautiful local trails
If you registered expecting a sanctioned or competitive canicross event and feel this is not what you signed up for, please reach out and we will happily provide a refund.
If you're simply looking for a fun morning on the trails with your pup, we'd love to have you join us.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the event. Our goal has always been simple: create a positive experience that gets people and their dogs outside, active, and having fun together. 🐾💚

🐾 “WHY DOES MY DOG PULL ON THE LEASH?!” 🐾
If your daily walk feels more like getting dragged behind a sled dog team… trust us, you are NOT alone 😅
One of the most common questions we get is:
👉 “Why does my dog pull so much on walks?”
Here’s the truth:
Dogs naturally walk faster than humans. Add in exciting smells, squirrels, people, bikes, birds, and all the fun distractions of the world… and suddenly your peaceful walk becomes a full body workout 😂
But leash pulling usually comes from:
🐕 Excitement
🐕 Lack of structure or consistency
🐕 Too much pent-up energy
🐕 Accidentally being rewarded for pulling
🐕 Wanting to explore faster
🐕 Not fully understanding what we want from them
The good news?
Loose leash walking IS something you can improve with patience, consistency, and proper training 💪
A few quick tips:
✔️ Reward your dog often for staying beside you
✔️ The second pulling starts — stop moving
✔️ Change direction randomly to keep your dog focused on YOU
✔️ Start practicing in quieter, low distraction areas
✔️ Keep training sessions short and positive
✔️ Use high value rewards your dog actually cares about
✔️ Make sure your dog gets enough mental AND physical exercise
✔️ Stay calm — tension on the leash creates more tension in your dog
One of the biggest mistakes people make?
Only correcting the pulling instead of rewarding the good walking 👀
Remember:
🐾 Dogs repeat what works
🐾 Consistency matters more than perfection
🐾 Even great dogs need regular practice
And yes…
You absolutely CAN teach an old dog new tricks 😉
If walks have become frustrating instead of enjoyable, we can help! Our obedience classes focus on real-world skills that make everyday life with your dog easier, calmer, and more fun.

🎉🐾 END OF THE LEASH TURNS 5! 🐾🎉
5 years ago we walked into an old car dealership maintenance bay with a dream, a vision, and honestly… a whole lot of unknowns. In the middle of COVID, during one of the craziest times for small businesses, we decided to take the leap and build something special for our community.
From hand building the entire store ourselves, to watching End Of The Leash grow into what it is today… we are beyond grateful. ❤️
Over the last 5 years we’ve seen so many businesses open, and sadly many close. These times haven’t been easy for small businesses, which makes us even more thankful to still be here, still growing, and still serving this amazing community every single day.
To every customer who shopped local, trusted our advice, attended classes, shared our posts, supported our events, or simply cheered us on , THANK YOU. You helped build this dream with us.
We’re keeping our actual anniversary simple and true to us:
🎉 MAY 28TH
🛍️ 15% OFF THE ENTIRE STORE
No huge party yet… because we save the BIG celebrations for our legendary Block Party 😉
👀 Save the Date announcement coming next week!
Thank you for 5 amazing years of love, support, community, and pets. Here’s to the next 5. 🐶🐱❤️
