It’s OK, He’s Friendly

April 21, 2015 By Guy Lapierre Leave a Comment

"It's okay....he's friendly!!" Let's discuss the importance of Off-Leash Recall. How many times have you heard an owner yelling that out to you from afar as his off leash dog runs towards you full tilt while ignoring all his owners attempts to call him back? Often the dogs name is repeated over and over and over, the word "treat" is thrown in for good measure and there's a hint of desperation in the tone as their dog gets closer and closer.

Dog Rescue in Nova Scotia on The Radio : UPK9

September 14, 2013 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Dog Rescue in Nova Scotia Hey everyone! Today we have an interview with Guy and Kimberly Lapierre have opened up their own dog rescue organization called Dog-Karma here in Halifax. Their organization differs from others by having each dog go through a training program to aid in their behaviour problems before they are adopted out into their new homes. This lessens the risk of a dog being returned to them or being put into a shelter. They've had nothing but success so far, keep up the great … [Read more...] about Dog Rescue in Nova Scotia on The Radio : UPK9
