Here we went on a hike (Tunnel Bluffs) in Lions Bay. Great hike with steep slopes, but the lookout was definitely worth the effort! Django and had a blast that day!

Squamish is really one of my favorite place to hike! Stunning landscapes, rocks, cliffs, sea. There's just so much to enjoy in this area! That day we hiked the Mount Crumpit on a very rainy day, as you can see we were all soaking wet, but those are the best hikes!

Warm beds and food were waiting for them after the hike ☺️.

The Wednesday pack; Reggie, Sophia, Victoria, Jojo and Django! At first the girls were struggling accepting big Jojo and Django and after a couple of playdates, they get along so well :) Socializing is crucial for dogs to help reduce anxiety, adaptation to different situations. By socializing your dog, they will develop new, good behaviors and will learn to be a well-rounded pup! Their confidence is sure to grow when each new interaction brings positive reinforcement and experiences.

Send your puppy for a hike or a playdate with HikingDawgs. We make sure they run off their energy and play with other dogs and we'll bring it back to you exhausted and happy :)

Training your dog may seems hard and frustrating at first, however teaching your dog good manners and tricks is fun for you, for your dog, and for your potential audience!

Here are some reasons why we should all put a bit more effort into training our dog;

1- It develops patience
At first, we often feel frustrated or we loss our patience, raise our voice or use coercion. Its normal, we are humans, but our dog is not pleased and it might affect our relationship with it on the long run. Remember that we should just “be in the moment” rather than expecting performances.

2- It’s fun for both of you!
If you end your session on a positive note you and your pup will walk away cheerful and satisfied. Just like a dad playing hockey with his kid, you shouldn’t be all over him expecting performance but rather bonding and have fun! Just like a kid, if a dog feels pressure, it won’t enjoy itself

3- It will increase your dog’s confidence
Shortly after starting teaching your dog tricks, you will notice that your dog will show signs of confidence, an interest in training, and an overall enthusiasm that you had not seen before. Your dog will feel like it’s doing something that pleases you, hence it will know he/she’s a good boy/girl.

4- It helps your dog with distraction
Your dog will learn to work with distractions, but if you consistently reward your dog for watching you and listening for your cues, soon your dog will pay much less attention to extraneous stimuli in any setting when you ask him to focus.

5- It lets out your dog’s excess energy
Many dogs who are bored will display undesirable behaviors, such as chewing or barking, that could put them out of house and home. This energy can be put to good use. Redirecting your dog’s excess energy into fun tricks, will likely make him increase the behaviors that make you happy.

Originally bred for retrieving ducks and other fowl for hunters, the Golden needs daily exercise: a walk or jog, free time in the yard, a run at the water source, or a game of fetch.
One other potential drawback: Definitely not a watchdog. Most likely, he'll wag his tail and flash that characteristic Golden smile.
