Honourable Hound

Our puppy classes are focused on safe socialization for your pup- but we’re also here to support you as a new dog owner! Our small sized classes allow for extra 1-1 time with our professional trainers, and create an environment where you can ask any questions.

🐾ENRICHMENT TIP🐾

Ever wonder what to do with the treat dust at the bottom of your treat bag? These little crumbs may seem like leftovers, but they're actually perfect for enrichment activities!

We love storing all of our leftover treat dust in a reused Starbucks cup- the opening on the lid makes it so easy to pour over a sniff mat for an easy activity for your pup.

How do you use treat dust? 🐶💖

Happy Labour Day from the hounds of Honourable Hound! 🐾💖

We couldn’t ask for a more kind and compassionate dedicated to bettering the lives of dogs and their people!

Congratulations to our newest batch of Honourable Hounds 🎓🐶💕

Whiskey, Duffin, Cher, and Skippy recently graduated from our puppy class and we could not be prouder of them 🥹💕 They all came such a long way with settling, safe play, and focusing!

Hot days can be perfect for fun summer activities - but can be dangerous for your pup.

We’ve created this handy chart for you to use as a reference to know when you bring your pup on an outside summer adventure, or when it’s best for them to stay inside.

Hot summer days are perfect for extra inside enrichment or indoor training practice to keep your pup busy in the heat☀️🐶

NOSEWORK IS BACK!

We are so excited to bring back our fave enrichment class, Nosework!

We are excited to offer two types of classes: Introduction to Nosework and Introduction to Odours!

We absolutely loved working with Crystal and Sesame, and are so excited to continue to see Sesame’s progress 🥹

🐾 PROGRESS POST!🐾

Meet Prince! Prince is a fearful pup who is working so hard at building confidence with new people and situations.

Before Prince started working with us, he would bark at just about anything - dogs, skateboards, cars, people- whether they were near or far.

He’s been working so hard with Maraysha and his amazing mum, Micah, and is learning that he can just sit and watch all his triggers go by from afar! 💖 Next, we’re going to work on building his confidence with more up-close triggers!

We are SO PROUD of the progress our sweet Prince has made !!! We can’t wait to see how much more he progresses as his confidence builds, we just know he will be the bravest boy there ever was 💖💗

Just a gentle reminder that dog training (like all things!) has its ups and downs, and your pup can have good days and bad days, just like humans! Progress isn’t linear 🫶🏻 You got this!

🐾LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE!🐾
