  • Grateful clients in response to a video I sent them while on vacation.

Perry and I want to be sure to extend our gratitude and thanks for everything. We appreciate not only the amazing care but awesome videos and tons of love!!! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. -- Kerri

  • Havanese and westie boarding with Sharon Toews
  • Lab-shepherd mix, golden doodle and basset hound enjoying playing while boarding with Sharon Toews
  • Email response from a satisfied client upon receiving a successful progress report on their dog after a few days of Boarding & Training.

    We love to hear how well she gets along with the other dogs. She is very alpha when we are around, and snaps at other dogs. That started at around age 2. We don't know how to stop that behaviour. On or off leash, we never know when she's going to lunge at other dogs. Very unsettling and embarrassing. Anyway, keep up the great work! -- Cindy

  • Sharon obviously loves animals and is a "natural" around dogs. She is calm, patient, consistent and firm when working with the dogs.   Our family calls her the dog whisperer. -- Heidi

  • Scottish terriers (scotties) boarding with us
  • Bulldog and golden doodle playing in a pool while boarding with Sharon Toews
  • Our rescued shelter dog, Smoothie, had numerous fear-related issues when we adopted her in 2009.  She has been attending Sharon’s doggy daycare since the summer of 2010 and has greatly benefited from Sharon’s dog training expertise.  Smoothie has learned to get along appropriately with other dogs and her extreme fear of people has become increasingly manageable.  Sharon’s interventions with Smoothie, as well as her invaluable advice to us, her owners, have resulted in a significant improvement in Smoothie’s overall behaviour and correspondingly, her quality of life.

    Great work, Sharon and thank you so very much for helping Smoothie become a much happier dog! -- Bruce and Gabrielle

  • From a client who had just started Polite Leash etiquette training with me because her dog went ballistic at the sight of any dog on the walk.

    Thank you for walking with Daisy and I a few weeks ago. I learned a lot and I know Daisy was benefitting from your helpful tips. I couldn't have imagined being alone during Daisy's sudden passing. Thank you for your care and support. In time we hope to adopt another rescue dog. I hope our paths cross again. -- Jaymi

  • German shepherd boarding
  • Thompson
  • I wanted to send a note to thank you again for looking after Thompson. It was so wonderful to receive your pictures and videos and see that he was doing well. I was able to relax and not worry one little bit about him - and that meant a lot!

    Thompson slept for two days (and nights) when he came home. It was perfect. And he seemed to grow-up a bit as well. He's doing better than ever with polite leash walking and staying "down" :-) -- Margaret and Thompson
