Sublime Canine Services - About Adina & Amy MacRae

ABOUT US & CONTACT SUBLIME CANINE

Due to our schedules, dog walking during the day, and either instructing or attending training classes, seminars and agility competitions with our own dogs on weeknights and weekends, means we are rarely able to directly answer phone calls. Often we are able to respond faster to emails than by phone and do our best to return inquiries within a 24 hour period so if you have not received a response with 1 business day, please try calling or emailing again, as it is possible we may have not received your inquiry.

Adina MacRae first studied animal learning and behaviour when she earned a Psychology degree at Dalhousie University. After completing her Bachelor of Public Relations at MSVU, she adopted her first dog Buddy, a Boxer/Pit Bull mix from the Bide Awhile shelter and got a crash course in dog behaviour. After becoming involved in flyball, Adina apprenticed with Lietash Canine Academy for several years and continues to teach their agility program. Once she had plenty of hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personality types, Adina started Dogs on the Go, a dog walking and pet care service, in 2003 and spent a year and a half performing temperament evaluations for the Metro SPCA. Adina specializes in on-leash reactivity and also enjoys teaching children how to train dogs. Her favourite pastime is agility and she holds multiple titles on her dogs.

Inspired by a life long love of animals, Amy MacRae previously owned and operated FUR My Friends Dog Obedience & Services from 2005-2009. Amy's fascinationn with how animals learn and interact with people influence her enthusiastic instructing style and fun training techniques. After adopting Gracie a Collie mix from the SPCA and attending training classes with Lietash Canine Academy, Amy went on to participate in Flyball and Agility programs and was eventually asked to join the Lietash team of instructors. Amy also gives Dog Bite Prevention & Animal Care presentations on behalf of the SPCA and other rescue organizations to schools and other non-profit groups to raise awareness and teach people how to understand dog body language and avoid bites. Amy's favourite pastime is being out in the woods biking, hiking or cross country skiing with the dogs. Amy also competes in AAC & CPE agility events and hosts Agility FUN Matches.

Adina and Amy share their home with 9 wonderful dogs and 4 cats, all of whom have been adopted.
