Alex grew up always loving animals, living on a farm she quickly learned she wanted to spend her life helping and being around animals. Over the years Alex volunteered with rescues, worked in vet offices, went to veterinary technician school AND dental assisting school. Nothing seemed to click until she got her first dog, Fudge a bulldog who quickly started to excel at training. Alex realized this is what she was meant to do. She immediately started volunteering with All Dogs, getting experiential learning and her certifications. Alex believes there’s no greater bond than with your canine best friend. You can catch her at the academy Monday-Thursday. Come and say Hi!

All Dogs Team member
As long as Candace can remember she has loved dogs; she grew up always having dogs in her home to love and care for. Candace went to school to become a Dental Hygienist but there was always a part of her that felt like she belonged around dogs. Go In the last couple years she had the privilege to foster a couple rescue dogs. As a result of working with dogs that have severe behaviour difficulties, she has developed an appreciation and passion for the importance of early puppy socialization and training. Now shes currently working on her dog training certification with her German Shorthair Pointer (GSP) puppy named Sage! You will find her at the academy Wednesday mornings for our puppy bootcamp program & Thursday evenings for classes. Sage and I hope to learn and grow with you and your four legged friend at AllDogs!
Lauren
All Dogs Team member
And, so the story goes with most dog lovers… Lauren has had a love and obsession for dogs from a very young age. Growing up with one family dog never felt like enough, so of course as soon as she had the opportunity to jump into the dog world she did. This started with her first dog Fred, who she met as a volunteer dog walker with the local SPCA. From there the part time work in pet retail, volunteering and fostering was not enough, and Lauren jumped careers from archaeology to fulltime in the pet industry.
As a result of working primarily with shelter and foster dogs, and having three in the home herself, Lauren has gained an appreciation for the importance in meeting a dog’s needs – physically, mentally and emotionally.
When she is not enjoying the company of All Dog students at the academy, she is spending her spare time with her two senior pups; Fred & Lucy. Or, exploring the dog sport world with her most recently adopted dog, Norman.
‘Training never ends for me and my dogs, and I love learning along with them!’
