If I could give Adam more than a 5 star review I would. I brought my 5 month old Belgian Malinios…read moreto him after researching many trainers. We did some longer training because of his breed and youth. Adam has not only trained my dog Otis, but rewired my training in so many ways. I had an older border collie, so mistakenly thought I could handle this other intelligent/high drive dog. Once I knew I was in over my head I sought help. He has changed my dynamic with both of my doggo. I had done other training with my Border Collie when he was young and it pales in comparison to what I have learned with Adam at Houndsman Canine Academy. He instills confidence and respect not just in your dog, but in yourself.

"Please feel free to share" hope to reach the abbotsford community…read more.. We feel strongly that our family pet Tori was let down, neglected and we want people to be aware. NOTE: pics could be disturbing to some. On February 27, 2023 our 13 year old yorkie terrier was attached by another dog or as we were informed "possibly caught on a piece of wire". This occurred while in the "trusted" care of Just About Pets in Abbotsford. She was dropped off around 8am and picked up just after 4:45pm the same day. Signed her out and waited for her to run around the corner. She did not; they were carrying her in a blanket, and I was told she was tired. When I went to put her in her travel kennel, I noticed she is shaking, and I saw the injury. My husband asked what happened and no one seemed to know. He told them he is taking her directly to the Vet. He arrived at the Vet hospital and they were able to see her right away. They said there was a hole in her belly and that she needed surgery right away and had to leave her over night. My husband went home and received a call early the same evening. The vet said that she will have to have surgery the next day as she was too inflamed and infected and they needed to get that under control. The vet expressed they were very upset as she must have been sitting in that state for many hours and they took pictures of the injury. She had surgery the next day with a drain tube. To make this story shorter, she ended needing a 2nd surgery and part of it was due to the infection. It was a difficult recovery and she is still not quite the same. On March 22, 2023 we went to see the CEO for some answers. We asked if there were any cameras and how this could have happened. There must have been blood. We left there feeling nothing was answered, if anything we felt worse. No there is not cameras in the back where they keep the dogs, someone did see a few drops of blood but were not sure where they came from. It could have been a dog bite or maybe from a wire, sticking out, that can harm dogs. He also mentioned that on many occasions they could have up to 60 dogs per day. That is the information we received, so disturbing, brought tears to my eyes. How could there only be a few drops of blood, and even if it were in fact a few drops of blood, do you not investigate to see where it came from? This is how infections started and to leave a pet that has obviously been injured without looking into it for hours is extremely unacceptable no? On March 6, 2023, I went to the back of this facility to where they let the dogs outside, which is a small caged in area. I did see a small to medium sized dog with a larger one. I am not sure how exactly they keep the dogs separated and how it is determined. I have spent endless hours searching for regulations and trying to get information from lawyers. I was unable to find much as far as regulations go. We want to share this hoping this business will change their practices and care for the pets. It is understandable that accidents like this does happen BUT being negligent is being negligent. Pets are our family and this should not be happening. Thank you...

Dog trainer here…read more After a couple of chances I've decided to leave a review and disclose some of the troubling things we've witnessed at this day care. Against my spidey senses and better judgement we gave Just about pets a few tries. Unfortunately there isn't a ton of choice for doggy daycare in Abby. However, after a few days at Just about pets we've decided to make other arrangements for our dog due to safety concerns. Please note that we approached the staff several times about our concerns and some of the troubling reviews, but we were told all the negative reviews were the result of a disgruntled staff. Easy to say. However, we saw with our own eyes that the concerns are very valid. Here are some thing to pay attention to: 1. The smell The place will burn your nose hairs. This says that the dogs are forced to pee/poo inside the faculty. This is a simple health hazard. 2. They do not ask for proof of health. Although everyone has a different view of vaccines, it is concerning that anyone can bring a dog in with a variety of health issues. Our dog got kennel cough very quickly after 1 or 2 visits. We were told that its just a cold. Vet has now said otherwise. 3. The noise There is very little control over the non-stop barking. This speaks of low staff ratio and lack of engagement as well as anxiety in the dogs. If your dog is already anxious, they may come home looking tired but it may be anxiety over the non-stop barking. 4. The lack of control in the front/dog education I was standing at the cashier when a big dog came bounding out unleashed. When you get your dog, they are called into the front room via intercom, The dog is released from the back room unsupervised and allowed to come into the front room. You need to catch your dog before they bound around the store. Today, they let a huge, young dog come running out into the main area and the dog went for me, unprovoked while I was standing in line. Let me be very clear. i did not reach for the dog, make eye contact or engage with the dog at all. The owner was able to pull the dog back but it was a near miss. I'm very lucky that my training ensured that I did not react and she was able to move the dog to her car. The front desk witnessed this and told me it was because the dog is fearful. What are they doing letting a reactive fearful dog off leash into a main area with others dogs, unfamiliar people, children and several disabled staff's dogs???!!!!! This is a tragedy waiting to happen. And it won't be with our dog. Please think twice and look for the signs before you think about sending your dog here.

I offer one on one walks, and hikes in Abbotsford bc I have been working with, raising, training dogs since I was 10years old. I have experience with hyperarousal, leash reactivity, I aim to help dogs establish and calm and neutral demeanor around people and other dogs. I am also currently working with a dog trainer who also happens to own a trio of wolf dogs. We work on their socializing in public and ensuring a calming presence for the people around them. I have worked with and am working with a variety of dogs, breed, sizes, differing personalities. If leash manners are a concern I can also work on that during walks. I include play, and basic training in all of my walks to help ensure your dog is getting their breed fulfillment as well as ensuring I'm tiring our their minds as much as their bodies. I have been called a dog whisperer, I connect with dogs easily and my primary focus is ensuring trust and their safety above all else.
