Christie, you are amazing! I cannot thank you enough for your warm and encouraging teaching style. Right from the beginning with Puppy Manners One and Puppy Manners Two, you taught me how to create a positive training environment for my little Bulldog puppy Tallulah and achieve consistently successful outcomes. And your workshop on managing and understanding jumping and greeting behaviors was invaluable not to mention timely. Having just completed the who's walking who? course Miss T walks beautifully on a loose leash and our walks are a pleasurable bonding time. You have so much knoledge about dog behaviour and communication that you generously shared in our classes and workshops with all of us. I always felt comfortable asking you questions and appreciated your genuine interest in how Talulah was doing. After your explanations I found these positive techniques were easily transferable later on to more challanging behaviors such as sitting still so I could put eye drops in her eyes. (Not a Bullie favorite). Through your focus techniques and positive reward techniques Tallulah has grown into a loving, gentle, enthusiastic and very engaged fur kid. We are so fortunate to have you here in Winnipeg.

I have to tell you, when I read the information on the Reactive Dog class, I wanted to yell: "take my money!!" We would love to be a part of this class. I think it would be the training we need in order to help Kismet work through what's going on for her.

On another note, I wanted to share with you that I felt a sense of relief after meeting with you the other day. Helping Kismet work through her leash reactivity and issues with visitors has been stressful (for me especially). Coupled with the loss of our other girl and trying our best with Kismet, I have not felt myself despite our efforts. Even though we only chatted for a bit, I really appreciated your honesty, sense of care, and for the first time, I truly felt like I was heard and you like you "got it". I feel like this is the beginning of that "north star" we have been needing. THANK YOU.

We learned within that short meeting and left saying to each other: "that made so much sense" . We are so excited to learn and put in the work to better understand Kismet and help her work through her emotions. I have already been talking to her differently while we are out on our walks - "those are doggies too, just like you. See? They are calm. Great job being calm too Kismet!" and I swear she is picking up on the "it's not a big deal" vibe I am trying to give off.

I first just want to say THANK YOU for the Reactive Dog class. We learned a lot and were excited to practice with Kismet. I am keeping AJ's voice in my head of "we aren't looking for perfection, we are looking for progress" and I do feel like we are seeing progress with Kismet! She is a far cry from perfect but her threshold is getting better, the distance slightly less, and her re-direction/correcting after an outburst is a fraction of what it used to take. We are continuing to work hard on knowing what kinds of things may stress her more than others and being appropriately reactive ourselves. We are "upping the ante" by playing the impulse-control and distraction games out on our walks, and around things that may be a bit distracting. We also introduced a squeaky ball and that has been a game changer for us! We are continuing to talk her through what's going on, staying calm ourselves, and rewarding and reading situations as they come. I am having more "ah that was a good walk" days rather than "I can't do this anymore!!!"

Inappropriate elimination is one of the top reasons people give up their dogs. With our help, you may have stepped in the last indoor, er, puddle, too.

​As the only child at home, Shelley grew up with dogs at her side as her constant companions.


Being the daughter of an Ontario Provincial Police Officer in the small towns of North Western


Ontario, police dogs were part and parcel of her family life. Due to her isolation both

Geographically and her father’s occupation she learned as a young child that dogs could be many

Things to humans. They were friend, protector and loyal companion. As a very young woman

Shelley moved to Winnipeg, got married and started her family. Raising her two children with

Their wonderful father was a privilege. Once her kids were in school Shelley embarked on her

The next twenty or so years of her life were spent involved in the music business and briefly on the periphery of Winnipeg’s burgeoning film industry, It became more and more apparent that the front row seats and back stage passes to concerts brought her little personal satisfaction and the film sets and movie stars even less so. Glamorous maybe, but not life changing for anyone, including herself.

That was all to change quite drastically with a phone call and request from her daughter Jana-Rai for much needed help with her “special needs weim”. They still laugh out loud at that perception, as Hailo was just an ordinary puppy doing what puppies do. Their subsequent search for help led them to the life changing revelation that their own needs reflected those of countless others. That combined with their desire to start a family business was the advent of Urban Canine.

If hard work could be defined as fulfillment, Shelley got her wish. The learning curve for her and J.R. was steep and sometimes fraught with trials and tribulations. But the joy derived from this rewarding work was unprecedented in her life. Watching her daughter thrive on the challenges as she educated herself in “everything dog” was nothing short of amazing and becoming the student to this young teacher with her insatiable thirst for knowledge was inspiring.

Shelley was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2008 which naturally shifted her focus to fight for her life. With out the unwavering support of her partner/daughter Jana Rai and all of the” her girls” to back her she could not have left her business for two months and endured many more months of treatment without a second thought. These amazing women had her back and she eventually conquered her enemy, returning to a business that was not only intact but thriving. A year and a half later found her in Salmon Arm B.C. taking an intensive three week course in Dog Obedience training. Again she was covered and all was well due to the hard work of her team, J.R. and company.​

I believe that dog's aren't our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.

My family and friends never let me forget who I am.

I try to read at least one new book a month.

​ Let the beauty we love be what we do - Rumi

All of my pets have been adopted and my first was a ferret. I've owned up to 5 at a time.

I have fostered about 50 animals for The Winnipeg Humane Society and kept 3.

I adopted my first dog Phoebe from WHS as a Corgi mix, turns out she’s a husky with chondrodystrophy (dwarfism!)

My first and second foster fail were my two cats Figaro & Oliver. I’ve had them since they were 3 weeks old.

I have a soft spot for Disney, but you knew that if you picked up on my cats names!

My 2nd dog Rhino was my third foster fail. He was very overweight & lost 20 pounds with a good diet and exercise. He became so social that I had him certified as a Therapy Dog.

I've lived in Winnipeg my whole life, but have moved over a dozen times.

Thanks to 12 years French Immersion I can pretend I’m bilingual!

I was a certified lifeguard and used to teach swimming lessons.

My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my pets already think I am!
