Great start to the week!

Caicos and Aly kept the pace while we explored and enjoyed lots of relaxing swims.

Frodo and Monty had some epic wrestling matches and playing. Monty cooled down from the excitement with some nice swims.

Luna and Bauer had the most zooms and matched each other’s speed while playing fetch, both in and out of the water.

Extra hugs for all the dogs today ❤️

Charlie is almost ready to meet some doggy friends! We’re getting last shots done tomorrow and he’s definitely feeling ready to join in the fun! I’ll be introducing him slowly to my pack friends, starting with the gentlest dogs as he is soooo tiny! He’s been loving life and is such a sweet guy when he isn’t being too feisty. Hope everyone is have a nice weekend!

Explored breakheart reservation today and enjoyed lots of zooms and fresh sniffs. Beautiful day out there!

Had some big wins today! Winnie girl has been joining for hikes over the last couple months but has been struggling with some reactivity issues when she sees other dogs or animals on the trails. Today I had a smaller pack and decided to try something different. I reached out to a couple old park play friends and got to see some old dog friends while introducing my good guy hiking dog to life at the dog park. He had an absolute ball!

Seeing how well Winnie and moose did at the dog park, we stepped up the enrichment by going to the bend in the river dog park in Medford. It’s a nice walk along the rivers edge, lots of squirrels, dogs, and sounds abound, but there is plenty of green space and there are two dog parks right next to each other. Great spot for enrichment on a walk and playtime. Winnie and moose got to meet another new friend and were both excellent once more. We loaded up and went to the sheepfold to bring it all together for Winnie. Our friend was kind enough to hang out with her pack for a few minutes adding to the idea that the sheepfold is just another dog park, but with lots of interesting smells.

It was really good to see some old dog and human friends. Thinking I’ll make the park a more regular addition to my outings as it offers an excellent opportunity to work on recall and get some energy out in a more secure environment than the forest.

Summer has been very fun for all the furry friends! Been having some very good days out there with the pack, staying cool, and taking it slow. Getting lots of zooms out, making sure we take time to smell the flowers, and share in lots of cuddles. Life is good, especially in the woods!

❤️ The best boy ❤️

In times of sadness, one could always count on Jack for a sweet check in, some kisses, a friendly paw, a reminder that it’s all going to be ok, and maybe let’s just go for a walk?

I’m so lucky to work with dogs, so grateful to be a friend to so many furry little angels. Dogs make our lives so much better, we should strive to be so good to them. Please give your furry friends lots of extra love this week, and every week. They deserve all the love.

On hot days we stay in the shade, go for swims, and take it slow!

Dogs can overheat so quickly, and frequently won’t realize they’re getting to the danger zone until they’re in it. Aside from a few brief moments in the sun, our day was shady and wet. The pups needed no prompting to jump in the water, but appreciated me throwing some sticks for each of them, getting some exercise while staying cool.
