Miss Nora and I joined the hustle & bustle of the oldest running Highland Games outside of Scotland, or so the town claims.
😂Social media fact checkers may disagree.😆
No better time or place to proof behaviours this week. #DogLovers#HighlandGames#DogOfTheDay
#ThankfulThursday !!! NO BAD DAYS!
I love working with dogs but I actually enjoy working with the people more. Building and bettering their relationships with their pets gives the entire family pack a better.
We can help! #DogTrainer#DogLovers#ThursdayThought
Motivational Monday!
This is a paraphrase of a meme from a H.R. business post. I’ve replaced “work ethic” with the word “choices” to reflect its importance in dog training. #DogTrainer#Monday#MorningVibes#DogLovers
t’s a very Fozzie “Friday!!!” In the doghouse.
This handsome fellow goes from 0 to hero in under a second!
This is why our dog training philosophy goes beyond obedience and calms the excited mind! #FridayNight#DogLovers#DogTrainer#Weekend
Often people unknowingly stress out a dog with overly enthusiastic greetings.
Always let a dog come into your space and resist the urge to put your hand out, as we’ve all been told.
When they are comfortable, dogs are very good at communicating what’s their groove! #DogLovers
There is no short cut for time and repetition in dog training. We are all human and often we put more pressure on ourselves to create achievements in an unrealistic timeframe.
Be patient with yourself Be patient with your dog!
A little effort daily will pay off! #DogLovers
Sharing is caring, so please do!
The Antigonish Petvalu is hosting a fundraiser for our local Coastal K9 rescue today. With every $10 donation you choose a ballon a win various prizes.
The balloons are not “popped” as to not spook your doggos. #RescueDog#Sunday#fundraiser
Don’t rock the boat baby! When accountability really matters most!!! 🤣😂
Developing duration of any command is the second stage of solidifying behaviours in any environment.
With over 220lbs of dogs in a canoe you want to be darn certain your dogs will remain in position!
How old is your dog really? The 7 year rule isn’t real!
Things are rarely as simple as they seem. It’s the same reason one should use a sliding scale when considering when it’s a good time to spay @ neuter. #DogsAge#Tuesday#DogLovers#dogtraining
Another amazing dogfilled weekend here at the Balanced Doghouse.
Fun off leash trail hikes in the back country along with ample play sure do tire the pups out.
Just because we don’t schedule client lessons on weekends doesn’t mean we are not working. #Sunday#DogLovers#Dogs
TBT!
This showed up in my memories from a decade ago when I worked for a franchise.
There’s a reason one of her nick names was “madam trash heap”! We were off help a local rescues fund raiser, but not before Bella found a swamp to wade in.#DogLovers#tbt#berner#Dogs
Sibling Sunday with Louis & Eddy, otherwise known as a bonded pack, have a dynamic among themselves.
Two or more dogs in a household develop a relationship with each other. All dogs know each other’s personalities and physical cues regarding tolerances. #SundayVibes#DogLovers
