🐾 Tails By The River 🐾
We'll be at at the Riverbank Discovery Centre on Jan 31 and Feb 1! Come meet some incredible dogs, learn more about Paws Crossed, and maybe even find your future best friend.
Why the Discovery Centre is so valuable for our dogs:
🌿 Low-stress socialization — The quieter setting and spacious grounds help reduce overwhelm, giving dogs the chance to explore at their own pace while building confidence in a new environment.
🐾 Varied experiences, thoughtfully introduced — From wildlife scents and passing visitors to new surfaces and indoor spaces, dogs are exposed to real-world experiences in a way that supports learning without flooding or stress.
🏠 Positive indoor exposure — Dogs are welcome inside the Centre, offering calm, controlled introductions to public indoor spaces—made even better by dog-savvy staff (and their much-loved treats!).
🧠 Purposeful observation & support — Many of our dogs arrive as strays through Animal Control. This environment allows our lead handlers and trainers to gently observe potential triggers—such as other dogs, wildlife, vehicles, and unfamiliar people—while actively supporting the dogs through those moments.
💛 A huge thank you to the Riverbank Discovery Centre — The Discovery Centre is consistently the first off-site location our dogs visit once their initial shelter assessments are complete. It plays a critical role in helping them ease into off-site adventures in a way that prioritizes safety, confidence-building, and emotional wellbeing. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support, welcoming space, and amazing staff who help make these early outings a positive experience for our pups.
