Welcome to our first blog!

Despite being town dwellers for most of our adult lives, we had both enjoyed childhoods in the countryside (of Slovakia and Canada) and increasingly felt the pull to a simpler life.

The lockdowns put it all in perspective for us - and although we couldn't do much, they didn't stop us from getting backyard chickens (and designing and building our own coop), getting married or getting a puppy!

Three years was all it took for our lives to change completely- from living in a town center apartment with no garden (although that didn't stop us putting a chicken coop and run on the grass verge...) to living in the countryside, with bees, chickens, pigs, dogs, babies and a whole lot of house renovation we're doing ourselves.

As with all family dogs, ours are a big part of this story and get to come along on almost all of our adventures. Bentley was our first 'hound' and remains the top dog and a very handsome boy. Enza joined our family almost three years later. We're excited to share more about these two pups and their countryside adventures with you in the coming weeks and months.

You can expect to see blog posts about:
-puppy training when you have other animals
-Bentley and Enza's adventures
-sharing a small space with dogs and babies (and keeping everyone safe)
-how to train your dog around backyard chickens
-how to train your dog around pigs

We're always happy to answer your questions about choosing a puppy, training dogs and anything else you might want to know about how we make this life work (and how you could do). Please drop us a line below or message us on instagram.
