Tuesday afternoon hikes have come to an end, and I am sad to say goodbye to Poe.

He is such a silly guy who just loves to run free. He has come so far with his recall since joining Coastal Paws and very proud of all he has accomplished.

Lucy will be joining the Thursday morning crew for her weekly hikes.

Join me on a group walk Sunday, March 30. $10 per dog with all proceeds going to RainCoast Dog Rescue

If you have a dog that is reactive towards people or dogs, please reach out to discuss if this group walk will be a good fit.
[email protected]

With my continued education and devotion to training dogs as a positive reinforcement trainer, I ask that there be no dogs/owners using prong collars, choke chains, or electronic collars. No flexi-leashes for these group walks, 4 - 6 foot leashes please as some dogs may need more space from other dogs or humans.
Harnesses, flat collars, martingale collars, halti's, and of course, high value treats are encouraged.

Location will be Juan De Fuca Golf Course Trail.

RAIN OR SHINE, please dress appropriately for the weather.

Email me if you are interested in joining for March.

๐ŸพUpdate On Our Circle Method Training๐Ÿพ

A few nights ago I took Cricket for a leashed walk without her harness, that means we are doing the Circle Method for training loose leash walking.

I made a ton of mistakes this time!
Cricket was full of energy........ mistake 1
I took her on a shorter leash......... mistake 2
Never burned any extra energy off before starting our walk....... mistake 3

The great thing about this method of teaching loose leash is that Cricket never became frustrated, even though we did MANY circles to keep our criteria the same. The handler, myself had very minimal frustration too! Because we did so many circles on our walk, Cricket practically did double the steps from what I completed, extra bonus!

How did you teach your dog to walk on a loose leash?

Ask the WHY question

During this walk with Juno in the orange coat, she would suddenly put the brakes on for absolutely no reason, so I first thought.
It's easy to jump to the conclusion that she is being stubborn.
Instead of just assuming she is being stubborn, I stopped and looked at the whole picture.

Juno put the brakes on and stood still, so as I observed, I could see she was not curious about a smell since she didn't even have her nose going in a different direction.
Her body language showed no stress. It wasn't about something she was unsure or nervous about.
However, I did notice her coat had slipped a bit and in the way of her back leg. I decided to try fixing the coat and see if she was willing to walk again.
Sure enough, after I fixed the coat to sit on her back properly and out of the way from her back legs, she happily continued to walk with us.

Clearly it was bothering her; she was trying to communicate this to me through her actions since she couldn't verbally tell me.

Ask the WHY question! Take a look at the whole picture because it is less common than you think that our dogs are just being stubborn.
