It was really great meeting all of you today! And what a great way to put all of Brad's tools from yesterday into action. Looking forward to hearing about everyone's progress. I would also be very interested in meeting up for play dates with everyone.

Hey Guys,

If anyone has pictures from the Ottawa weekend that you don't mind me posting on my Facebook page, can you please e-mail them to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or post them here and I will grab them.

Thanks so much!!!

Oh boy the push ups!! My physiotherapist is going to hate me!! So much for the cortisone shots! I am so sore...actually not just my shoulders, my knees my arms...oh boy!

My daughter is correcting ME..she has become a little Brad!! Too bad she doesn't pay that much attention in French class! HMMM maybe she should should become a trainer!! Something to aspire to! She better not tell me to do push ups!!

what a wonderful experience for everyone involved...I would personally like to thank brad for helping me wake up on Monday morning with nothing but stiff... sore... aching muscles...why is everyone at work looking at me funny while I slink around the office at a blazing speed of 5 feet per minute.... seriously though I must admit when Mel my amazing wife to be mentioned the show I was a bit skeptical about all these methods and how it is possible to do what Brad does...well I stand before you a changed man!!!!!! the guy is straight up...in your face....so deal with it....and I did ...so many tools to work with....so insightful..makes you think all the time...I'm surprised my tongue wasn't hanging out of my mouth because my brain was way overloaded with information and constantly at work...

I Mentioned to Brad to take in easy on em in Edmonton....after all "They all can't be Ottawa"

Hi everyone,

Funny you mentioned you don't want your daughter getting you to do push-up. My husband and I discussed this morning to have a jar like someone mentioned earlier, but instead of putting money in the jars we will put one push-up for every time someone in the house talks to the dogs. So we each get a jar and to help us do our homework. My husband's comment, "how many push up you I do"....LOL...I will most likely have the most but I am determined to succeed.

Have a great day!!!! Angèle

What a great idea Angele!!

I think that's what we are going to do! (Yes Paul, I will make you do pushups) Thanks for the idea!!

My husband and I were SO glad we attended the seminar and the outdoor training ! It was the BEST $ & time ever spent on Keymo !
Tim, who had the biggest "issues" with Keymo has made HUGE strides towards Keymo respecting him and not competing for pecking order within our pack. Sfter seeing the videos, Tim & I now understand how a dog pack behaves and their rules, and we have already seen Keymo expressing pack behaviour with us.
He even seems to have more respect for the cat ! There were NO high speed chases through the living room since we got home yeterday ! Our cat Frisby, looks at us as if to say "where's the OTHER dog ?"
We never took Keymo to any kind of training before and BOY are we glad ! He was like a sponge yesterday just soaking up all the information. He had so much fun and so did we !
He was a different dog last evening and today still. It's like he has relaxed and finally started to find his place within the pack.

Hello All!

I too had the most amazing weekend in Ottawa at the seminar and the outdoor training. For those of you who remember us, I had the Golden pup! Yep, the one with all the energy. Let me tell ya, she was a pooped puppy though by the time we reached the car. She was asleep in about 5 minutes.

What many may not know is that we live 85kms north or Toronto so we drove to Ottawa and stayed in a hotel. Just so you know, yep, we made it home eventually last night. First, I had to drive my son to London and then drive to my home. Because of the weather, we were in the car about 11 hours (Casey slept most of that time!). But....it was so worth it!

I can tell you that I am so glad I went to the Ottawa seminar. It was a different experience because there were no dogs there. I was captivated by every morsel of information Brad shared with us. It was unlike any dog information I have ever read or watched. Absolutely amazing!

And the people...so friendly! I really enjoyed meeting everyone that I talked to. A special thanks to Mel who helped me with directions and even helped me when I got lost leaving the seminar. And to Mel and Jennifer for organizing the gifts for Brad and Daniela, another big thank you! I have some pictures I'll send you both (once I get fresh batteries for the camera).

To everyone else, a big round of applause for your dedication to you dogs and your open mind. Brad was tough on us but it was a fantastic learning opportunity that everyone took to heart. I was so impressed with the people.

When Brad goes back to Ottawa in the summer, I am hoping that Casey and I can attend again. We're both tired today and my muscles hurt but I would do it again in a hearbeat.

I would recommend attending any Ottawa sessions in the future if anyone gets a chance who isn't from that area. It was an overall spectacular experience.

Thanks again to Brad, Daniela, and my fellow dog owners in Ottawa.

Karen & Casey

Quick Q.
Who is Daniella? I have seen many of you thanking her from Calgary and Ottawa. Haven't seen her on here so just curious. Does she use Brad's training techniques as well?
