This Week’s Pack Walks Were a VIBE!

The pack was full of energy, the trails were full of smells, and the teamwork? On point.
We faced spring distractions head on! The mud, melting snow, surprise squirrels and we still managed to walk as a solid unit (with a few hilarious detours, of course).

It’s been amazing watching the dogs settle into their routines, support each other’s progress, and have fun while doing it.
Every walk was a blend of structure, play, and a ton of fun moments!

Can’t wait to see what next week brings!

Spring Fever: Navigating Seasonal Overstimulation

The snow’s melting, the sun’s shining, and your dog? Sniffing EVERYTHING!

If your pup suddenly has selective hearing and a nose glued to the ground—you’re not alone.

I see it firsthand every year with our Wag’n It pack dogs and my own personal dogs too—pulling harder, ignoring cues, and getting completely lost in the scent clouds.

Here’s what’s going on:
Warmer temps and melting snow uncover a flood of scents from months old animal trails to other dogs markings. It’s like a sensory buffet, and for scent driven dogs, it’s overload.

Signs of Spring Fever:
• Struggling with recall
• More pulling or erratic leash behavior
• Zoomies on max
• Extra sniffing or fixating on random spots

What helps:
• Shorter, structured walks + sniff breaks
• Engagement games (name recall, “find it”)
• Mental work over physical exhaustion
• PATIENCE—this phase will pass!

Your dog isn’t being “bad” they’re being biologically normal. Let’s help them channel that spring energy the right way.

Help your dog thrive this spring!
Keep an eye on our social media pages this week.
Scent class registration opens Monday, April 7th and spots fill fast!

Sniff’n Success!
Big congrats to our Intro to Scent Work grads!

Over the past few weeks, these amazing dogs (and their humans!) have learned how to harness the power of their noses. From food games to finding hidden birch scent, even working through elevated hides and distractions.

Watching each dog grow in focus, confidence, and teamwork has been such a joy. This crew learned to sniff with purpose, trust the scent, and celebrate the find—and we couldn’t be more proud!

Whether your dog is destined for nose work sports or just loves a good game of “find it,” the skills they’ve built in this class are something special.

Congrats, teams—you’ve officially earned your sniffing stripes!
