The Thriving K-9

A little life update from Thriving K9 🤍

Due to some unforeseen life events and a few big changes happening in our world, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming classes and events for the near future.

With an upcoming move, Leander starting school, and some personal affairs that need my attention, I feel I’m at a point where I won’t be able to give classes the time, energy, and focus they deserve. That’s not the quality of service I want to provide to you or your dogs.

The classes scheduled to begin September 10 will be canceled. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and I truly appreciate your understanding and support.

This is not goodbye to Thriving K9. I’m simply taking some time to get things settled and make sure that when I return, I can give my clients and their dogs my very best.

I’ll post an update when I’m back to actively training client dogs and ready to welcome everyone back.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support. It means more than you know. 🐾

Huge thank you to the Parkland Outdoor Show for having us out this weekend! 🐾

We had an awesome time showcasing the rat sports, meeting so many great people, and talking dogs all day, and representing our favourite brand- Ruffland! It’s always a great experience being part of an event that brings the community together like this.

We really appreciate the opportunity and hope to be back again! 🙌

Did you come check out the show? Do you want the dogs back in 2027?

We are set up and ready to go! 🐾

We’re heading down to the Parkland Outdoor Show & Expo today and tomorrow to do demos and showcase what rat finding is all about — fast, fun, and a great outlet for your dog’s natural instincts!

Bringing dogs and helping out is our friends from Just Fur Paws (who brought Ruffland products 👀) and Range Road Retriever — so be sure to stop by, say hi, and check everything out including meeting some dogs and rats! 🐀

Whether you’re curious about the rat find sports or just want to watch some dogs have a blast, come see us! 🐶💨
