Are you or your dog in The DOGHOUSE?

How is your relationship with your dog? Have you sat down lately and asked your dog what they would like to do today? Perhaps they would like to play tug of war with the leash during your walk, chew on your favorite pair of shoes or bark incessantly in the backyard? We’re just kidding …

These behaviours are NOT typical or desirable, at least for a dog that is living its best life – AS A DOG

Having a bond with your dog is more than just tail wags and belly rubs

When getting a dog for you and your family – finding the best fit and understanding how your dog communicates – is of utmost importance.

AND WE CAN HELP!

We are happy to offer fully certified professional dog training & coaching to help improve your relationship with you and your dog

This program is not just for the bully breeds in your life but for ALL DOGS, breeds, shapes & sizes

And ALL FUNDS RAISED go back to the dogs looking for their forever homes – VISIT PIT BULLS FOR LIFE FOUNDATION OF ALBERTA

Serving Parkland County AB & Area
