What sets us apart

Training-Focused

We use positive reinforcement and desensitizing to make your dog's experience positive.

Case Management

We take notes after every appointment to track your dog's progress in desensitizing, notable changes in wellness, and other milestones.

Wholistic Advice

We get to know you and your dog so we can make helpful suggestions from a diet switch that may be beneficial, to a new toy that we think they'd love.

Healthcare Practitioners

Tanya (she/her)

Owner

Tanya got her start working in vet clinics both in Calgary and Vancouver. After seeing the same dogs month after month for the same ailments Tanya developed a strong passion for preventative health care. As a result, nutrition, grooming and health care become a corner stone of the company, which Tanya now spearheads in our healthcare services.

When she's not in the store Tanya loves to cook, get out for walks and play with her two rugrats, Chuck and Huck.

Katie (she/her)

Retail and Healthcare Service

Katie (right) has worked with dogs as long as she has worked in human health care. Her goal is to share her knowledge in canine behaviour, training, nutrition, and cooperative care husbandry with her community. Katie is currently raising a feisty terrier shitzhu mix who excels at nosework, and an older Boston pug coping with aging and separation anxiety. She is no stranger to dietary sensitivities, behavioral struggles, the challenges of puppy raising and most of all the joy of finding solutions to those concerns that bring peace to the whole household. Katie is currently a retail clerk and assists in our cooperative, consent based healthcare program.
