November 9, 2024 will mark my “retirement” from dog training after a solid and rewarding five years with Unleashed Niagara, another five years training elsewhere, and 14 years fostering, photographing, and caring for dogs big and small.
Always end on a high note! That’s what we teach at Unleashed Niagara, because Candice and I believe positive reinforcement the best possible strategy when it comes to dog training. Turns out it can also be a solid mantra in everyday life. So it is with high notes in mind that I wrap up my time as an instructor at our wonderful dog school.
For the first time in decades (or ever, actually!) we are taking a little summer sabbatical break from work. The universe – and my esteemed colleagues, friends and family – have all aligned and supported us to make this possible. For this I am truly grateful.
The following information is shared from Steffi Trott’s SpirtDog Training. Steffi practices a Positive Reinforcement based dog training method, and is world reknown for her down to earth, accessible and practical advice on dog training for both companion and competition dogs. She shares her wisdom here in a post addressing the challenge of NOT seeing improvement in your dog’s training progress.

If you are looking to adopt a dog, Rosie the Chihuahua is looking for a furever home! This little love bug was surrendered to Furever Pet Care when her original family were no longer able to care for her. She is 9 years young, has slimmed down to healthy weight, and received the attentions of our wonderful vets for a thorough health check.
