Partner Up Academy

After working with a service dog school based out of Edmonton for over 12 years, Rebecca Hayes-Copleand (head trainer at Partners Naturally) saw a lack of Service Dogs in her home area, the Peace Country. When Covid caused the satellite program in her area to end, she decided to fill a need.

Born and Raised in Grande Prairie Alberta, Rebecca wanted to expand her services to help Northern Albertans get the service dogs they need. Her love of labradors, knowledge of training, and experience have come together to breed and train these amazing dogs for Peace Country residents.

Thus the Partner Up Academy (an extension of Partners Naturally Inc) was born. With the help of volunteer puppy raisers and adult homes, boarding homes and fundraisers; our goal is to bring service dogs to local Peace Country residents in need.
