For years I’d say we are quite lazy in the summer. But..it’s not true..!

Yes, we are slower, less flexible and do less intense activities due to the heat BUT we are still active! It’s just.. different and again; less intense!

The two legged actually get MORE steps in- no cheating with a sled or skis 😄

We’re big fans of moving our bodies and getting outside every day. It’s not about epic hikes or breaking speed records—some days it’s a quick stroll, other days we’re out longer. No matter what, a little fresh air and movement just makes us feel better!

During what season are you the most active with your dogs?

👉Dog Powered Sports and heat are not a good combo.

🙌Slowing down and staying in the shade, - that’s the new focus.

👉Every dog has a different heat tolerance, some factors to consider are Genetics, Age, Environmental Conditions (ex wind, humidity..), Body Condition Score, Coat Density, Hydration and Nutrition.

☀️To avoid heat injury it is crucial to notice the early signs and respond accordingly. Not every dog is good at regulating themselves.

Early signs can be:
🥵 Shade seeking
🥵 Not responding to commands, often mistaken for disobedience
🥵 Delayed return to handler
🥵 Slower gait
🥵 Seeking water
🥵 Squinting of the eyes
🥵 Panting smile, as heat and panting increases the mouth opens more, exposing more of the back molars

👊Panting control - is the dog able to stop panting? If you show them a reward or gently blow on their nose, do they stop panting? If they do, even if only for a split second, then they still have control of their panting

✨ “One sign of a good handler is the ability to read their dog” ✨

A common excuse we often hear for not walking dogs is: “It’s too cold” or “It’s too hot.”

Though we don’t get perfect weather every day, daily walks are still incredibly valuable for both dogs and people.

How about on a cold day we simply say “it’s a cold one today, let’s put that extra layer on and keep moving to stay warm”

Or “it’s a hot one today, let’s go out early and take the trail with the most shade”

We are so lucky to live in a country that experiences all 4 seasons, let’s learn how to safely deal with it and make the most out of it!

We endure the hot days, we live for the cool days!

Rain, lush green forests, creeks and husky smiles!

When you get a day that doesn’t restrict you to early morning walks 🙌
We embrace cooler days over here especially after this heatwave.
Lovely mother and son caniwalk !

He made it!! 👏🥹🥳 You’re a rock star Polar! So excited to follow your journey!

🛬 POLAR HAS LANDED — LITERALLY 🛬

Picked up our newest team member from the airport just now

Polar strutted out of arrivals like a seasoned tour dog who’s flown more miles than most people’s vacation plans. Calm, collected, and already judging us slightly
He took one look at us, one look at the truck, and sighed like he already knew he was back in the game.

On e at the truck , he’d inspected the snack situation, and was already side-eyeing us again like a coach at tryouts.

Polar’s here 🙌
