One household per evening. Minimum one hour walk with training built into the walk.
Herding, hunting, retrieving and guarding breeds living in the city, with owners who work long days.
From 4 months. Leash, recall, settling and city exposure before habits set.
Reactivity, pulling, jumping, barking. A plan for your dog and your street.
A walk, water and company at your home while you are out.
Quiet visits at home, feeding, litter and play, for the independent ones.
A working dog with nowhere to work finds its own job. Evening walks give it one, in the real city, and the calm follows you home.
I earned a PhD in the neurobiology of behaviour, then found the best place to use it was on a leash, not in a lab. I started Parliament Paws to give working breeds in Ottawa and Gatineau the evening work they were bred for.
I walk every dog myself. Flat collar or harness, reward-based, on the streets and paths your dog already lives with. You get the dog you hoped for when you come home.

"I attended Margaret’s Puppy Training. I learned a lot about puppy natures and how I should treat mine. She is very friendly to both puppies and owners, and is knowledgeable about dog trainings. I can highly recommend Margaret."
"Very friendly and flexible, I have seen my dog’s behavior improving after only couple of sessions! Thank you."
"Great price"
