👻Boo, humans! 🐾Check out these spook-tacular pups enjoying their snuffle mats—an excellent treat that keeps their clever noses busy! 🐶✨

🎃🐾When the ghosts and ghouls come out to play, these mats help keep us calm and collected while we hunt for hidden goodies. Perfect for a howlin’ good time amidst the frights!🐾

Got a spine-tingling costume? Share their pics with us—we can’t wait to see those spooky faces! 🐕💖

🐾🌲 A Reflection on "Forest Bathing with Dogs" 🌲🐾

Hello Humans! It’s me, Rojo, here to share a little wisdom from Nadine Mazzola’s beautiful book, *Forest Bathing with Dogs*. 🌳✨

Picture this: the gentle rustle of leaves, the soft dappled sunlight warming our fur, and the earthy scents surrounding us. Forest bathing isn’t just a stroll; it’s about being present, moving slowly, and truly settling into the moment—together. 🐶💚

Nadine beautifully captures how this experience nurtures both of us. As we wander through the forest, we embark on a delightful sensory journey filled with new sights, sounds, and smells that awaken our instincts. Together, we share the benefits of slowing down and truly engaging with our environment. This practice not only reduces anxiety and elevates our moods but also fosters a profound bond between us. Just like she describes in the book, every step through the forest encourages us to pause, breathe deeply, and appreciate the rhythm of the natural world. Whether it’s splashing through a stream or listening to the rustling leaves, each moment becomes a shared celebration of life and connection. 🌿✨

As Nadine says, “Nature is a balm for the soul, and together, we can soak it in.” It’s all about taking the time to be present, letting go, and savoring each moment side by side. 🌊🍃

I’d love to hear from my Canine Crew and their humans! Have you felt the soothing magic of forest bathing together? Share your experiences in the comments! And if you’re interested in joining me and my pals for upcoming forest bathing events or workshops with the AKC FIT DOG Club, be sure to follow us for more peaceful adventures! 🐕❤️

Let’s embrace the tranquility of nature together—it's waiting for us! 🌿🐾

🐾✨ Hey there, fur-friends! It’s Quinn, your honorary demo dog from Week Three of the Kennel to 5k: Canicross Training Series with our AKC Fit Dog Club! 🏃‍♂️💨

Let me tell you about my super silly adventure! At first, I was a little **apprehensive** about running away from my human—just a shy pup at heart. I could only make it about 15 feet before I had to zoom back to check on her! 🐶💖 But guess what? By the end of our session, I was flying like the wind, strutting my stuff 50 yards ahead, around corners, and even out of sight! 🎉🚀And I even kept my cool when a whole group of bikes went by - Talk about progress!

A big thank you to my human Cynthia Gray for letting the adventure human use me as a demo dog. I had the BEST time running with them (even if the adventure human almost got pulled into the brook a couple of times—oops!). And after all that zooming, I couldn’t resist wiggling and rolling around in the leaves to celebrate! 🍂💃

So, if you’re working through any training hiccups or big feelings like I was, don’t worry! We all grow at our own pace, and it’s a blast along the way. Join us for a Kennel to 5K Canicross session with the AKC Fit Dog Club and let’s run together! 🐾❤️

Remember, every pup has the potential to shine! 🌟✨

🐾 Hey, Humans! It’s Indigo here! 🐾

Let me tell you about an epic adventure I had with my buddy Rojo, the German Shepherd! We were having a blast, sniffing around and exploring on our long lines, when suddenly, I heard a curious *mewing* sound! The human was quick to listen, and just as they looked over, a gigantic porcupine came barreling down a tree, heading straight for us! 😳

Now, here’s where the importance of the “leave it” cue comes into play. If the human hadn’t been alert and if we hadn’t practiced our “leave it” and recall cues, things could have turned into a real adventure gone wrong. With our long lines, we had some slack for zoomies, and if we’d gained momentum, we could have dashed right over and met that porcupine before the human even realized what was happening! Yikes!

This little adventure highlights why “leave it” is such an important cue for pups like me. It helps keep us safe from unexpected wildlife (or anything else that could cause a ruckus!) and teaches us to be mindful of our surroundings.

✨ Training Matters! ✨ All of us adventure pups learn essential skills like “leave it” and recall to graduate to adventure buddies. It’s not just about having fun; it’s about staying safe and enjoying our adventures together!

🐕 Have you ever had a close call where the “leave it” cue saved the day? Share your stories with us! We love hearing how our fellow pups navigate their own adventures!

Let’s keep exploring safely, one paw at a time! 🐾❤️

🐾 Woof, fur-friends! It’s me, Rojo, your playful German Shepherd! 🐶

I’m wagging my tail with excitement because this Sunday, we’re having a Pack Walk, and there are only **THREE spots left!** 🎉

These walks are super fun and **neutrality-focused**, which means we don’t meet each other—just a chill time to practice our leash manners and focus on our humans, even with all the distractions around! 🐕✨

It’s a judgment-free zone, so whether you’re feeling a little anxious, working on your leash skills, or just a bit overly excited, ALL pups are welcome! 🌈

If it’s your first Pack Walk, make sure your human signs you up for the free **Welcome Walk** first. It’s a great way to get ready!

Let’s enjoy a fun stroll together! This event is part of the **AKC Fit Dog Club**, so you know it’ll be a blast!

Tell your humans to message us to grab a spot! I can’t wait to see you there! 🐾❤️
