Schmaltzy graduated from puppy class!!! 🎓

Special shout out to for making Schmaltz feel extra comfortable every time she got a little shy!

Here's Po, the Mini Golden Doodle, in his first Reactive Dog Class with us! 🐾 We're so glad you and your mommy felt comfortable. We're excited to support you on this journey—those boiled pork and lamb treats sound like a hit! 😋 Thank you for trusting to help you live your best lives together. 🐶✨

The world can sometimes feel scary and overwhelming with so many sounds, people, furry friends, and objects like leaves or plastic bags that get picked up and flown around on a windy day. 😳

Sometimes these things are a bit more than I feel comfortable with and Mommy is going to learn new ways of helping me feel more comfortable.

Today we had our first in person meeting for our reactive dog class in Etobicoke at .

Mommy and I felt so comfortable there and I even ate treats that Mommy brought (boiled pork and lamb 😋).
The Instructors were so calm, patient and kind and we are so excited to be taking this step in our journey to live our best lives together. 🐶💙

🎓 Big congratulations on graduating our Foundations Skills Class! 🐕‍🦺 We’re so proud of you Tobi and your doggie friends for learning so much along the way.

Shoutout to the amazing trainers at When Hounds Fly! 🐾💕

We’re so grateful for their passion, patience, and dedication to dog training 🐶💪. Their love for what they do shines through in every class, and we’re lucky to have them guiding us and our furry friends.

Check out these photos of our talented trainers in Toronto 📸 and see their dedication in action!

Thanks to all that they do to help our dogs become their best selves 🐾💫. We appreciate you! 🙏

Is your dog… Anxious, fearful, or skittish in environments outside of your home?

Hypervigilant to noises from inside your home and can’t even relax while inside?

Unable to regulate both positive and negative emotions – getting overaroused or very upset easily?

Also reactive to various triggers on a daily basis?

Tackling chronic stress requires multi-faceted approaches and a holistic look at your dog’s life. That’s why all the “quick tips” you’ve tried haven’t really worked.

The Canine Stress Solution is designed to help you (and your dog) get the following benefits:

Greater peace and quiet at home, with less pacing, hypervigilance, startling, and barking. Both you and your dog will be less stressed in the one place that should be relaxing – your home!

More options for going outside to more places, where both you and your dog will enjoy the outings, instead of returning back home more stressed or upset

Ability to engage in more forms of exercise, because as your dog’s world opens up, more options to let them move freely become available

Key Details:

Learn from Anywhere: 10 Live Zoom Calls scheduled on Sundays at 4PM Eastern starting September 29th. Recordings will be available if you can’t attend live.

Incredible Savings and Support - Instead of many expensive private lessons, a new facet of the program is introduced to the group on Sunday, and reading and homework is assigned for a fraction of the cost.

Ongoing Support - In our private online community, you’ll submit questions and homework assignments for your trainer to review and for the group to learn and grow together.

Regular Price: $500 - Program Launch Promotion: $350 (30% off)

Small steps lead to big progress! 🐾 Huge congratulations to Finn on completing his reactivity class! 🎉 We love his honest face - it says it all! ❤️ Kudos to his humans as well for embracing the journey, learning, and growing alongside him. 💪 If you're navigating reactivity with your furry friend, know you're not alone! 🐾❤️

The face of a boy who finished his reactivity class today! 🎉

I’m going to keep it real here, he did have a reaction today, but it was my bad, not his. He recovered quickly from it though, and he actually did really well in all the classes including the rest of today’s.

The class focused on management, games, emergency behaviours and short exposures. It was more of a class for us than it was for him.

Having a reactive dog isn’t easy, and it was definitely something we had no idea about until we learnt about it that we recognized the signs of reactivity in Finn.

Management and advocating is all on us as guardians and it isn’t fool proof. We’re only human and we do mess up and that’s okay, we’re learning just like them.

That being said, I highly recommend the reactivity class from if you have a reactive dog and want to learn how to better manage situations using R+/FF methods.

If you have any questions about our journey or the class, leave a comment or feel free to shoot me a DM!

Huge congratulations to Loki - The Corgi on completing our Foundation Skills Dog Training course! We're so proud of this smart pup and their amazing parents! 💕

We're so proud of Percy and his family for graduating from Tricks class! 🎓🐾 Remember, the real magic happens at home with lots of practice and repetition. Keep up the great work on selfie, clean paws, cue cards, middle, and footsies. You're doing amazing, Percy and keep progressing!

We are so proud of our instructor Ethan for guiding all the dogs and their parents with such love and dedication!

📸:

That’s a wrap on Tricks class! If I’m bein’ honest, they graduated me even though I haven’t learned many of the tricks. But the thing about Tricks class is - our instructor Uncle Ethan isn’t teaching ME. He’s teaching Mommy and Daddy HOW to teach me. We have to work on it at home. The key is lots and lots and lots of repetition. And it’s been a busy few weeks what with the Great Skunkening and Mommy’s busy-ness at work.

So the class is over but I’m gonna keep learning! Mommy will be off work for the summer in a couple weeks and we’re saying it here to keep us on top of it: we are gonna spend time this summer practicing these tricks! Mommy took a pic of the white board where Uncle Ethan summarized them. We’re gonna do our level best to prioritize: selfie, clean paws, cue cards, middle, and maaayyybbbeee footsies. We just started footsies yesterday - you can see it in these pics. I’m supposed to put my front paws on the human’s paws and we walk together. But Mommy says this is a hard trick for me because I’m too polite to step on people’s feet. It seems like kind of an advanced trick to me but it would be pretty cute!

We’ll keep you updated insta! We’re gonna learn the tricks! But we definitely had fun in class - thank you Uncle Ethan!
