Pet care experience
My partner was managing a 70 dogs kennel in Quebec for 5 years. She had good trust in dogs and believed they would behave better with more trust and freedom so worked toward having most of the dogs off-leash. She organized the kennel space into team, instead of having one big "open cage". They discovered new personalities, new leaders, and built improved relationship with the dogs! She was also working in a boarding kennel in between the sledding seasons. This is where she got to work and learn from different breed than huskies (😅). With all the dog experience she has, who would believe that she is actually a CAT person!! Nothing would beat her profound relationship that she has with our cat Marj, aka Marjorie and Claude-Emelie. Iris is more about freedom and trust, where as i am very into learning and training with the dogs. Dog behaviour and training is something i am passionate about and hope to pursue in the future. We have a very welcoming family with 3 dogs and 2 cats, plus some usual additions when friends come and drop their dogs off for a social day. Lucie, 4 is a alaskan husky. Florence, 3 a small mixed breed terrier who thinks shes a husky and our newest member Solange, 8 month old siberian husky. And our two cats, Marj is 6, and Claudie is 9 months.
Reviews
If you are ever in Haines Junction YT and need a doggy sitter I highly recommend Iris & Brianna! I am driving from Alaska to the Lower 48 and wanted to take a side trip to Haines AK. I did not want to take my Duke on the side trip because we were going to be in the heat. Iris and Brianna have a wonderful yard and lots of trails to keep Duke smelling new smells all day. He loved his time there and they were also aware of his senior status and shortened their regular walks. Go visit these folks!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a secure fenced yard and live away from main roads. Our dogs have freedom to be inside or outside depending on what they like, usually they will sleep inside at night but often when its warm the huskie's ask to be outside. We have two very friendly cats in the house, so cat friendly dogs are a must. We will never leave other dogs unsupervised with the cats for safety.
Home
Information Iris & Brianna F. would like to know about your pet
if off leash/recall is good. types of food/feeding schedule. ( we have chicken allergic dog in our home ) any reactivity issues. are they good with cats. can they be left alone outside.
A typical day
We normally have a relaxed time in the mornings. We got out for a long walk, jump in the car and away from town for about 1-2h. We have different locations.. ski trails, fields, lakes... biggest priority is away from roads and people so dogs can have more freedom. in the Afternoon, especially in the summer because it's hot the dogs spend time outside in the fenced backyard. There is plenty of shade and toys around, and a large tub full of water. i will take out our 7 month old for some leash and recall training if the days are not to warm at the local school field or for a walk to the bakery. We normally go for another shorter stroll later in the evening, or we will take the dogs for a bikejor around our road loop when its quiet. After dinner/before bed we go for a quick 10-15 min stroll in the little trails behind the house.
