​Safety is a top priority for me. I take many safety measures to ensure the pups, as well as myself, return home safely each day. I understand your trust in me is fundamental. During our meet and greet, we will ensure you are comfortable before any services begin. Through reward-based interactions and working at your dog's pace, we can build a positive relationship so our walks and training can be fun and stress-free!

Furriends is an insured and bonded company that operates with Maisie as the sole dog walker and trainer. The company started in 2018 and considers safety with the utmost importance. Equipment, vehicular components, compatibility assessments, and vaccinations records are among the considerations taken to ensure everyone's safety. All training is taught through reward-based methods; Your dog's comfortability and enjoyment is a huge component of achieving your goals! Maisie aims to set you and your dog up for success through training plans that take into account various aspects such as your lifestyle and your dog's emotional wellbeing. Training and walking dogs should be stress-free!

 

Maisie grew up in Calgary, AB and completed a BSc degree in Animal Health from University of Alberta. Several years later, Maisie furthered her education by completing a Dog Walking Certification course and began her new career path. In 2020, Maisie and her partner adopted Tuxx from Pause4Change. Little Tuxx has brought them so much joy and love, and also a few challenges! One of those challenges is his fear based reactivity towards humans and dogs. In finding solutions for his reactivity, it ignited her fascination within the world of dog training. Maisie graduated from Dogma Academy's Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant program in 2024, and is scheduled to be CPDT-KA certified March 2025!
