Hey All! Still have not found a location for classes but as weather gets nicer the possibility of outdoors becomes a bit more of an option.

Side note- my email and website currently are not functioning and can't get technical support until next week so I have zero access to any of that. If you need me message on Facebook!

Hey All!

Thank you to everyone who has sent in their paperwork. We have pushed classes to April as we're still trying to finalize a space that will be big enough. Hopefully I will know this week!

I'll keep everyone updated as I get things sorted.

Hey crew ! It's been a long time.

Local trainer extraordinaire Judy Mitchell and I are tossing around the idea of running a 4 week dog obedience/agility classes for puppies and beginners.

We finally have a venue!

We have not worked out the details yet, just putting it out there.

Please message Judy or myself (Nicole) if you'd be interested!

Long time no see everyone! I have yet to get full time daycare for the kiddos so I'm not back quite yet but please do reach out and I will do my best during this time.

If you're looking for grooming check out Lisa’s Furrari Pet Grooming

She took on the challenge of my 7 month old rambunctious golden Mabel and my cranky old 15 year old Coop.

Look how pretty they are !

Lisa is fear free, goes at their pace and is a true expert in her field. Thank you Lisa!

Hi All!
As many of you know I haven't been able to work during COVID. This continues as restrictions do.

I am closed until further notice.

My colleagues have been able to invest in technology and continue to stay open so if you need a trainer to be referred to please let me know! They can assist online.

Thank you!

Dear clients and friends,

I have been getting training requests which I greatly appreciate your support and always will. As much as I love my job I am not an essential service. I will not be doing any training in person, classes or otherwise.

There ARE amazing trainers I can refer you to that are set up for virtual consults.

If you are searching for a trainer please do your part by not allowing anyone in your home and do not go to meet them anywhere. I am thankful for trainers diversifying and going online!

I will be posting happy and silly things I am doing with my own dogs to brighten the feed. Picture is of my dog Cooper who learned how to balance a light plastic cup on his head yesterday.

Stay happy and healthy

Nicole

With Christmas fast approaching it reminded me of my favourite book growing up. Carl's Christmas by Alexandra Day. The illustrations are beautiful.
Anyone else love this one? What is your favourite?

With the holidays fast approaching it is so important to keep the kiddos and pups safe! Plus, who doesn't want to be on baby duty?! 💕

It is holiday time. That means food, fun and family. Dog Aware holiday tips.
