Paws Republic Centre for Pets in Martensville just won Business of the Year at the Prairie Sky Chamber of Commerce BEXA Gala on Saturday, May 6th, and there is a reason why they were awarded this honor. At Paws Republic, there is never a shortage of options available when it comes to your furry family members.
There is always a variety of services available on a regular basis such as daycare, boarding, walk-in nail trims, and a wide range of training options, but there are also outside opportunities brought in. Earlier this year, Paws Republic brought Southern Alberta K9 First Aid in to offer a course for pet owners to help them be better prepared in emergency situations. The course was a sold-out success, so Kristine O’Brien, Paws Republic owner/operator, decided to bring them back in for another round of first aid training on June 2nd for $159. “The last one was really well attended, and she did such a great job, so we thought we would offer this again for anyone that may have missed it last time. It is a great course and provides so much information for those that attend. We are really lucky to have them coming out again,” O’Brien said.
In addition to this, local residents will have a chance to attend a training seminar with world renowned Sport Dog Trainer Jas Whiting, the founder of Prime Canine. “Jas Whiting is a world renowned Sport Dog trainer, GRC advocate, competitor, and Judge, with an even longer list of achievements in and out of the dog world. We are really excited to bring in some outside information and some amazing trainers from across the world,” O’Brien said.
This training seminar will take place at Camp Paws Republic from July 7-9 and will have two-day or three-day spots available with the option to participate in a working spot, where you bring your dog to participate, or an audit spot where you can watch and learn. The motto for this course is “Unlocking the Potential” and O’Brien noted that it is open to all levels to come, grow, learn and enjoy life together with their dogs. “Finding that connection with your dog is beyond just existing together. This helps learn how to develop a relationship with your dog and is going to be a really great opportunity for people and their pets.”
Another new option coming soon to Paws Republic is the option for pick-up and drop-off services for Martensville, Saskatoon and surrounding areas. Puppy Playzone is also being offered at Camp Paws Republic for puppies under 6 months of age and for the dogs that need a little extra help dealing with social situations, Paws Republic is offering Charm School. The purpose of this class is to help dogs that are reactive towards unfamiliar people, improve their confidence and social skills and teaches owners to handle their dogs appropriately..
