Why does my dog beg at the table? 🐶 Simple answer: dogs beg at the table because it works! Here is how to establish and maintain a boundary for your pup so that the humans can eat in peace, and so that no one accidentally slips your dog a human food that can make them sick. Whenever guests join you for a meal, make sure they know the ground rules, too!

Reach out to us at www.BarkBusters.ca/Niagara/ if you would like to book in home training for your pup!

If you will be hosting a gathering for Thanksgiving this weekend, you'll want to make sure your dog can enjoy themselves, too! 🍗🐶 Here's a quick rundown of things to watch out and plan for in advance, before the door starts opening and closing, snacks and drinks get left unattended, and well-meaning guests consider offering your dog something off their own plate.

I mean, seriously how am I supposed to handle this level of cuteness! 😊 Meet Daisy and Charlie. These adorable Maltese puppies were doing a lot of barking at every little sound they heard! By the end of our first lesson we were able to teach them that they didn’t have to be worried about these sounds. By learning to speak dog and communicating with them, clearly, their owners are teaching them that they can relax and be calm happy dogs. If you need help with your barker reach out to us at www.barkbusters/Niagara/. Our in-home lessons tackle the problem where it is happening!

I got to hang out with Gus again today! This handsome boy has gained 20lbs in the last month, giving him the title of my largest client! 🩵 And this sweet boy is not even done growing yet! Gus is doing a really good job of learning what his family’s teaching. And they are doing a really good job of being consistent and setting their boundaries. A puppy is hard, having a 200lb puppy is even harder. If you need help with your puppy reach out to us at www.barkbusters.ca/Niagara/ we’re here to help.

The clocks go back on Sunday, ⏰ November 1, and the evening walk changes overnight. By December most of us lose the light by 5pm, so the walk before work and the walk after dinner both happen in the dark. 🐶🌛

Your dog notices things long before you do. A rabbit under a hedge, a person in a hooded coat, a raccoon crossing the road. That is why dogs who stay relaxed in daylight suddenly stop, stare or bark at night.

Our new complete guide covers:
Being seen.
The right leash and route.
Calmer walks.
What to do if you meet a coyote or a skunk.

I train in your home across the Niagara Region and Stoney Creek, so we work on the same dark driveway your dog reacts to every evening. Every program comes with our Life Of Dog Support Guarantee. Call 905-853-0195.

Sometimes, all a dog needs is a little time, patience, and someone to show them that they’re safe. ❤️

Meet Snow. 🐾

This beautiful girl was a brand-new rescue who had just arrived at her new home and was having a hard time being left alone. Living in a condo made things even more difficult, as there isn’t much tolerance for barking.

Her family reached out for help, and from the very first lesson, we could see just how much Snow was capable of.

Thankfully, Snow didn’t need much time to start feeling more secure. At our very first lesson, we were able to show her that she was safe. By our second lesson, Snow was already beginning to understand that being alone was okay. 🐾🥰

Working with rescue dogs is always so rewarding. Helping them build confidence, learn to trust, and feel comfortable in their new home is what makes this work so special.

If your dog is struggling with separation anxiety, barking, or other behaviour challenges, don’t wait until things become overwhelming. We’re here to help.

Today is World Rabies Day, and your annual reminder that protecting your pet from rabies is the law. With an almost 100% mortality rate after symptoms present, you do not want to take any chances. Many vets and shelters offer affordable vaccine clinics throughout the year.

A simple vaccine can help protect your pet, your family and your community.

Rabies is a deadly disease that can spread from infected animals to people. The good news? Rabies is preventable through vaccination.

In Ontario, dogs, cats and ferrets three months of age and older are required by law to be vaccinated against rabies.

Not sure when your pet’s next rabies vaccine is due? Speak with your veterinarian.
