Lu! What a photo bomber! Gotta love the burst mode on the camera but I’m so sad I didn’t get the landing of her launch! I love surprises like this when I review the photos! So funny! What a girl! 🤡
Happy crew! Good vibes! Lovely day! Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Rambo, Nova, Remus, Biscuit, Ruby, Opal, Baxter, & Freddy 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Ruby & Bruno helped Watsi learn the routines of our off-leash hiking adventures today! He has been working on his leash manners & sit stay duration, & getting used to going out without mum & dad, & disengaging from interesting stimuli. He’s been a great student & such a fast learner! #nanaimocertifiedfdogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
So many grouse distractions! Their activity gave the dogs lots to sniff & search! But they listened well to recalls! Put on the km’s to go down a new part of a trail that we usually go left instead of right (but we had to double back) so they enjoyed that! Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Rambo, Remus, Covee, Ruby, Fritz, Bruno & Opal 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifiedfdogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
Meander & mosey! This crew enjoyed the beautiful sunshine! We had to bushwhack a little to get some water as our normal water spots are mere puddles already. Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Nova, Rambo, Biscuit, Remus, Cedar, Opal & Lu 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifiedfdogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
The frost brought out the zoomies & games of chase but for the most part the mosey meter was on high. Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Nova, Rambo, Biscuit, Poppy & Remus 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifieddogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
High octane vroom! This crew had energy to burn 🔥 but we made sure we got our impulse control practice in to slow things down in between romps, playing, zooming & scaling bluffs. Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Ruby, Covee, Fritz, Bruno, Vivian, Frank & Fiona 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifiedfdogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
The Mosey & Sniff Meter were on high today with this crew! They were moving like molasses in January. Even the recalls were really in slow motion! Still tired from Monday’s zooming perhaps? But it made for a relaxing hike with everyone sticking together interspersed with some games of chase.

🥳Introducing Frank (Mastiff/Rhodesian) & Fiona (Golden Doodle) the new kids joining the Tuesday group! We’ve been working behind the scenes with the help of several of their group mates Covee, Zelda, & Fritz (& Ruby) to get these two pups ready to integrate into the big group. Frank & Fiona have been working hard in the Trail Etiquette Training Program at their individual recalls, group recalls & learning the emergency recall. They are learning impulse control at pick up, sit & wait politely to earn their way through doorways, waiting for permission in & out of the van, sit stay & release cue, name game for treats so they don’t try to grab someone else’s treat, listening to other dog’s communication signals when the play is uninvited & to stop play when consent is withdrawn. Lastly, they are learning to walk politely on leash in a group walk to & from the van. They are fast learners & ready to see how they do this Tuesday! I’m excited to have them join the fun! 🐶🐶#nanaimocertifieddogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
💥Well, we had Vivian new to the crew today! While being able to follow directions once we arrive at our trailhead is an important skill that we practice everyday it’s even more important with the excitement of a new friend. The Tuesday crew showed her the ropes of practicing calm behaviour before we got started! ⭐️She fit right in & everyone enjoyed playing with her! ❤️#nanaimocertifiedfdogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
First hike of 2024 & the dogs were delighted to find SNOW! ❄️ Thank goodness I’ve been prepared for snow since October 😅 but a few had to sit out today because of it. 🥶 With the extra afflatus that the white stuff brings everyone listened well! They practiced their trail etiquette at the end when we politely waited for a few Boston Terriers to pass by. Well done crew after such a long break!

Silly crew today! Bumping & jumping & zooming. Trail Etiquette with Zelda, Rambo, Covee, Ruby, Fritz, Bruno, Trixie & Jake 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifieddogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #dogsofnanaimo #nanaimodog #trailetiquette
Fun loving crew! Loving the s-curves & ups & downs. They did awesome with a distraction with another hiker & his dog pretty much following behind us but they couldn’t catch up! They had fun nonetheless! Trail Etiquette with Rambo, Ruby, Covee, Fritz, Bruno, Trixie, Jake & Ben 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 #nanaimocertifieddogwalker #nanaimodogwalker #nanaimodogs #nanaimodog #dogsofnanaimo #trailetiquette
What a fantastic crew! They zoomed through the trails & up & down the bluffs! They practiced their trail etiquette & we pulled over in a narrow part of the trail to let some bikers pass-by.
