Founder
Trainer and Walker
My name is Mory Sprenkle and I am the owner of Canine Compass. I grew up just outside of Thunder Bay in Pass Lake. I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs and every dog I met has had a unique story, each needing an individualized approach to encourage them to come out of their shell.
All dogs, whether they’re from breeders or rescues, purebreds or mixed breeds, each of them has been a pleasure to work with and teach. Seeing the owners and their dogs progress into a functional team is my passion.
In addition to my hands on experience, I also have received my Canine Specialist Diploma. I have continued to further my knowledge with additional classroom knowledge and hands on learning to ensure that I have the knowledge and skills to help others.
At Canine Compass we strive to provide balanced training that allows us to tailor the tools and training strategies to the dog. All of our training is done with private sessions, allowing owners and their dogs to receive one on one attention. This is a personalized service helps you to build a stronger, more understanding relationship with your dog.

Co-Founder
Walker and Media Coordinator
My name is Utah Broughton and I am the co-founder of Canine Compass. I grew up in Fort Frances, Ontario, but moved to Thunder Bay in 2012. I always had a dog growing up and I loved every moment with them! When I moved out and got my first dog on my own, I realized that the relationship with my dog was so important in order for us to succeed together. Now, it’s the relationship between myself and my dogs that I value most.
I previously worked as a lifeguard for 5 years and have worked in the medical field as a Personal Support Worker. Now, I look forward to walking your furry friends and documenting our journey! Welcome to Canine Compass!
