“I was raised in a ‘kennel’”, laughs CindyAnn. “My family raised show dogs, and I started helping with the training and showing dogs at a very early age.” CindyAnn’s love for dogs has never left her. She was a volunteer and board member for the Weyburn Humane Society and is training her dog to become a registered therapy dog. In 2017, her love of dogs got her thinking about how she could make her passion a career. CindyAnn started researching doggy daycares in North America and learning the best practices. “I spent countless hours learning how to create a safe and fun environment for dogs to socialize and exercise,” she says. “I also inquired where they received their education for running a doggy daycare and took the available courses and achieved marks in the high 90s. Education is very important.” CindyAnn has 2 pet first aid certifications and her advanced course in K9 body language. CindyAnn encourages her team to continue their education because as she says, "you can never know everything”

 

CindyAnn continues to educate herself on animal behavior and training methods. She has completed animal behavior and training courses from Spirit Dog Training, K9 Turbo Training, Dog Gurus, Brandon McMillian Master Class and the Dog Handler Academy; Dog Handler 101, 201 & 301 courses.

CindyAnn is a current member of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA)

 

Susan Adderley - My love affair with dogs all started with a “Free Dog” sign I spotted at the grocery store. I begged my dad to go and see the dog. Miss Freckles, a sweet lonely beagle, jumped right into our van and right into our hearts, too! I have enjoyed training and being a momma to several fur babies over the years. Each one has left a paw print on my heart! My grandfather had a soft spot for Standard Poodles, which has rubbed off on me. Currently, my handsome Standard Sir Fredrick the Great, a.k.a “Freddie”, is a joy to train and photograph!
