Friday night dog and owner movie night!

















No big deal not having a movie theater in town anymore because you couldn't bring your dogs to it anyhow!!!

Friday night movie night! For dog owners and their dogs ... to learn about training and behaviour and socialize too!

We will start the evening with a bit of a social, then we will watch all or part of a dog training video (approximately 30 minutes). After the video we will have a Q and A session and then work on a couple of exercises with the participating dogs.  Then maybe a bit more chit chat about stuff ... probably dogs, dogs, dogs!!!

If you would like your dog to attend please contact us. Dogs must be social with people and other dogs, healthy, well mannered and be able to settle on a mat for the duration of the video.

Educating Families with Children and Dogs


Maren is the only Sea to Sky area licensed presenter of the international Dogs & Storks™ and The Dog & Baby Connection™ programs.

These programs are great for:
  • Expectant and adoptive parents
  • Parents of young children
  • Extended family members
  • Childcare and Foster care providers
  • Doulas and Midwives
  • Anyone else who wants to learn how wonderful life with kids and dogs can be!

We specialize in increasing awareness and improving dynamics between children, family members and dog.
Maren’s diverse background in dog training, her knowledge of dog behaviour and first-hand experience having a family of her own - all while caring for other people’s dogs – means she can help. Insights and expertise are passed on to you to support your new family dynamics. Maren helps you identify behaviours that cause stress in your home and provides practical solutions to common dog/baby challenges that you can fit into your daily family life with ease. As your children grow they can learn about dog language and safety through programs that teach bite prevention.

Private consultations, group workshops, presentations and on-going support are available. Learn which service suits your family's needs best.
 




The Be a Tree  program™ by Doggone Safe™  is also offered to help school age children learn how to interact safely with dogs.
