Every year when it's warm I see dogs with so-called soft muzzles. It's not a good muzzle for this kind of weather. A dog has to pant to have proper thermoregulation. There's no room for that in a muzzle like that!! If you're not sure what muzzle is right for your dog please write to me or any other dog trainer/behavior consultant in your area.

Not just average dog walk... 🐶✨”

Welcome to my unique Dog Social Walks program—a calm, connection-based experience where it's not just about walking, but communicating.

We focus on:

🌿 Building trust between you and your dog
🐕 Reading calming signals—your dog's natural way of saying “I need space” or “I’m okay”
🤝 Encouraging a two-way conversation between dog and owner

It’s about quality, not speed. These walks help dogs feel safe, heard, and socially balanced—with other dogs and their humans.

Curious to try a new kind of walk? Let’s connect.

Today Bella surprised us again. Today was our 4th meeting and this wonderful girl was AMAZING. In today's session we were helped by the wonderful Kaya, Harvey and Bruno. I find it hard to believe that Kaya and Bruno are reactive dogs. Such results were only achieved thanks to the dedication and hard work of their beloved owners.

Sniffing is extremely important for dogs during walks—it's not just a fun activity, but a huge part of how they experience and understand the world around them.

Here's why:
👉 dog’s sense of smell is tens of thousands of times more sensitive than a human’s. Sniffing activates their brain and provides mental exercise

👉They learn who’s been around, what animals passed by, if someone is in heat, and other details that are invisible to us.

👉Sniffing can help lower a dog’s stress levels. It’s a soothing, natural behavior that provides comfort and a sense of control over their environment.

👉Allowing your dog to stop and sniff gives them agency during the walk, which contributes to a more fulfilling and happy experience.

Letting dogs sniff during walks isn’t just kind—it's essential for their well-being. It turns an ordinary walk into an enriching experience❤️❤️

This weekend was full of new challenges.

However, I did not expect how it ended. Bella absolutely surprised us❤️

Can you believe that 3 meetings ago she could not cope with the company of another dog!!

Look at her today!!

What's more, we were helped by Bruno, who came to us with a similar problem and today he helped us work with a reactive dog!!!

That is the power of social walks!! I am so proud of the owners. I know it is not easy but what you do is INCREDIBLE!!
