It’s been an excellent week. Lots of smiles while we explore and everyone has been excellent with their recall and engagement. Crunchy, crispy, fall weather for the win!

They enjoyed LOTS of sniffs and zooms, some swims, and lots of recall practice. The woods were very busy today and the boys and girls did excellent. Happy dogs all around!

Smiles from last Friday!

The weather has been beautiful and unseasonably warm recently. The dogs have been loving it, getting some late autumn swims in while they can. We’ve been exploring through crunchy leaves, following our noses, enjoying lots of zooms, and working on our recall/engagement.

It’s been incredibly uplifting to see so many happy friends, excited to see me and explore the forest. I love my job ❤️

Happy birthday to Aly! One of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met. He’s always so happy to see his dog and his people friends, and LOVES to swim and explore. Today he saw a great blue heron and decided to swim over to a little island to try and say hi. I called him back over, and while his recall is normally pretty good, today he just wanted to be an island boy, hanging out in the sun while ignoring my calls.

After a few minutes he did eventually come when the rest of the pack and I pretended to leave the area (secretly watching him from the forest).

I love this silly sweet guy, and appreciate that he does eventually listen. I was pretty close to swimming over to get him before he came back 😅

Happy birthday Aly!

Another excellent week with the sweetest dogs!

I’ve been very proud of the progress my friends are making. All my friends are very good dogs, and they sometimes need some help and guidance to navigate our human centered world. By spending time working on recall and engagement at the beginning and end, my friends are set for success while we are out on the trails. By practicing our sit stays regularly under distraction, my friends are automatic with it everytime I ask. They are having lots of fun, and also getting lots of good repetitions in, setting themselves up for success when I need them to be on point and listening.

I love my job and I love my dog friends!

Rainy day to start the week, but we don’t mind at all! Everyone got some extra attention with a nice towel massage at the end. We had the woods to ourselves so we got to practice a lot with recall and engagement while they sniffed, zoomed, played, and explored until we were all dog tired. Enjoy the week!

Smiles all around for the Wednesday crew!

Some smiles!

Been having lots of fun! My Tuesday and Thursday packs are almost always full or close to it, but I do often have some open spots on my Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Sign your pups up to join in the fun and get some good training time in!

My girl Punch!

This girl LOVES me and I feel the same way about her. She ALWAYS gives me about as many kisses as is pawsible when I get to see her. She’s been a regular Monday hiker for me since I began my hikes and unfortunately will be having her last hike with me on Monday.

She’s doing well, just taking a break from the hikes as her people’s circumstances have changed.

She has a special place in my heart and it’s been an absolute pleasure to take care of her and to share the love. Much love to the sometimes spicy, but always sweet, Punch.

Scroll for all the smiles!

Last week I turned 40 and was so lucky to celebrate life with so many of my dog friends. I love that my job allows me to enrich the lives of these city dogs and I get to bring them on adventures in some of my favorite places. Hoping to continue for many years to come!

Trying so hard to do so good!

Two of my best boys giving an excellent demonstration of our practice in the forest. We practice a lot of play based engagement and have a few rules to keep everyone safe. We practice our sit stays regularly so that they’re automatic when we need them. Usually to be respectful of other dogs/people passing by, but also to keep the dogs safe from wild animals, like the large deer we saw today. I like to start my packs over at the sheepfold when possible to get lots of zooms out while getting my dogs to focus on my lead. This sets us up for success on the hike, and lets my friends socialize a little with other friendly off leash dogs. I am the doggy ambassador, introducing dogs with friendly hello’s and diffusing any tension with a little redirection. I absolutely love my doggy friends and my job.

I love animals of all kinds. This morning while I was walking my little man around the building, I almost stepped on this little bird, who was clearly overheated and maybe a little lost. Realizing that it was unlikely to survive the extreme heat staying where it was, I decided to take matters into my own hands and help the little one out. I was able to pick them up pretty easily, and put them into the AC in my car on our way to a more wild section of the river where I gently let them go, hoping they live long and prosper ❤️
