We hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as Bea and Hugo are !
We have been keeping busy here, getting organized and prepared for our fall litters. We have added some new information to our program for our pet puppy families and we are refreshed and ready to welcome our newest additions.

The Family Dog / Stop the 77
We purchased THE FAMILY DOG / STOP the 77 trainer program early this summer and have been working hard to incorporate it into our electronic resource package for each of our pet families. Beginning with this fall’s litters, each pet family will receive information and resources about this important program, so they can be prepared with their own families, or for any children who will be interacting with their pup. When families come here to visit their pups, I will be using this program to mentor them in appropriate and safe actions with the pups as well.
77% of dog bites come from a family or friend’s dog. These aren’t vicious, wild dogs – they are pets. Contrary to popular belief, bites don’t happen for no reason, or out of the blue. Our kids’ actions can play a huge role in how safe they are around the dogs they live with and love. Kids can sometimes be scary to dogs because they’re kids ! Kids are unpredictable, uncoordinated, and way more likely to get in a dog’s face than most adults.
Dogs use their bodies to show us how they feel, since they don’t have the words to tell us. The signs are usually subtle to start, but if those subtle signs are ignored (or quite possibly unrecognized), those subtle signs can turn into very direct signs of discomfort or distress – like a growl, snap, or a bite.
We will be sharing tidbits from this very important program on our social media pages, as well as upcoming blogs, so stay tuned as we roll out our brand new program.
BLIND TRUST A Guide Dog’s Journey
Earlier this year, CNIB Guide Dogs took part in a docuseries. Glenannon’s very own “AMY”, a Guide Dog in training, is featured in one of the upcoming episodes.
Episodes premiere every Tuesday night on AMI at 8 pm EST. The first was released last week and was so informative and well done. We look forward to this week’s episode!! You can also stream each show on demand at AMI.ca/Blind-Trust/episodes and on the AMI-tv app.
