We sponsor dogs awaiting adoption at the Cowichan & District SPCA by giving them free spots in class if they have a volunteer to train with them, as well as a one-hour free post-adoption private consultation (voucher from Cowichan & District SPCA required as proof of adoption).

I found COWICHAN CANINE by accident. It was the best accident I ever had. CC above all has made me a better and more aware pet owner. They have opened my eyes farther than I thought I could see. I am grateful for my new knowledge and grateful That my puppy/dog will have the best education to guide him through his life happily. Thank you Lisbeth Jody Glenda Stephanie and especially Nancy for immediately catching my errors.

Hi Lizbeth, Stephanie and Glenda:
Thought you would like to know, we took Dalli to the Duncan market on Saturday morning. She was a perfect lady, walked around with her tail wagging and held high all the time. She was friendly and outgoing to other people, and sniffed other people’s hands and let them pet her when we stopped to talk or purchase things from the different stalls. We then walked over to the Garage for coffee, sat outside and again, she was well behaved, let people pet her and she was actually licking their hands. This was her first outing in a busy people environment as we usually just leave her in the car or at home when we go out shopping.
What a difference from a year ago when you first met her. Thank you, thank you!
We’ll see you in the fall when we come for the agility courses.
(Dalli was adopted a year ago from Mexico, and was fear-aggressive to people coming to the house.)
