Happy New Year pupper parents! We look forward to working with your family in 2021, both virtually and in-person!

A sneak peek at our new virtual learning program! We are excited to soon be launching whiteboard info-graphic videos to help families easily train with their dogs. As well we are waiting on the delivery of a pretty cool web camera that will focus on and follow the trainer around the room, making more complicated training demonstrations easy to see!... Last but not least, a new group has been created which will be dedicated to students who are already enrolled class. You will be notified by email or messenger when the group is ready to launch. Although ideally, we would prefer to be working with you in person, we really think you're going to love these new doggie school options.

Good afternoon pupper parents, we hope you and your family had a safe and wonderful holiday! Due to the new province-wide shutdown regulations, we regrettably will be unable to re-open the training facility at this time. But not to worry, we remain here for you and will be doing everything possible to help keep students working with their dogs. This week we will be launching free online programs and support for students who enrolled before the the closure. These virtual pri...vate lessons, classes, and videos WILL NOT count towards your remaining in-person training classes and we will have you back to the farm the moment it is permitted. Please keep an eye out for emails regarding the new learning options and as always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

The dogs always pee on our poor snowmen!

Congratulations to puppy class graduate, Maisy!
