Attention Clients: During the Spring Break closure March 30-April 6 (exception April 5 Group Hike), the pups and I are going to be scouting out various state parks for future hikes. Some have easy to moderate short trails, some have shared equestrian trails, and some are more intensive longer trails with elevation changes. Specifically, I’ll be checking out Flaming Geyser, Nolte, Kanaskat-Palmer, Lewis and Clark, Federation Forest, and Rainbow Falls. One of the last hikes of 2025 will be a return to Nisqually, which is closed through September for renovations.

We’re returning to Millersylvania State Park for the April group hike to check out some of the other trails. Koda Lyn, Shippo, Bruce, Layla, Ozzy, Chili-Bean, Deena, Draco, and Hoagie have already RSVP’d. Usually the cutoff for group hikes is 8 but since the trails are so wide at this park I will open it up for a total of 10 client pups. Text if interested in having your dog grab the last available slot for the April group hike.

Vacation? Long work hours? Dog energy needs that don’t match owner lifestyle or physical capabilities? Dont forget that Kovas’s Legacy offers Training Walks. This is not your average stroll offered on dog-walking sites. This is time with the trainer to work on needed skills. These are the pups from this week’s walks.

GROUP HIKE REMINDER: I’ve got Deena, Draco, Hoagie, Koda Lyn, and Zeus confirmed with possible Bruce, Layla, and Ozzy. Text me by 6:00 today to get added. Details will go out this evening to those attending.

I’m excited to announce some program changes. While private lessons will always be the main focus, I will begin offering small group STAR Puppy classes. Depending on interest, there may be an addition of CGC classes, but this can also be done on individual basis utilizing program dogs. Details will be released once all testing supplies have arrived, but the intention is to run the first STAR puppy classes in April.

I purposefully scheduled a few “off days” this past week to address shedding season in my pack. I’ll post a reel later today of client pups. In the meantime, meet Fenris Jr. and Baby Vhagar 😂

Today marks 7 weeks without heat. Thermostat replaced, condenser replaced, now they’re saying defrost panel needs replaced but it will be another week before technician availability. When I’m not working with clients I am able to run the pellet stove and have a fire, which keeps the house at about 60 degrees. The huskies aren’t complaining.

Last night I worked with Piper and Lilo’s owners on incorporating a place stay to alleviate the duo’s barking and charging at the door when the owners returned home or guests and delivery people were at the door. This evening I received the third photo showing their progress. I love receiving these kinds of updates from clients 🐾

Final sessions are always bittersweet. Today Loki and his owner worked on environmental exposure and controlled greetings in Tractor Supply. Special thanks to the staff who understood we were working Loki through a fear response of the automatic doors. Be your best boy Loki 🐾

BUDDY PUPDATE: I received an email from Buddy’s owners thanking me for the guidance I gave at the training consultation. They have implemented some of the suggestions I gave to improve things at home while they searched for a new home for Buddy. After just a few days, Buddy has improved so much that they have decided to keep him and continue working on clear expectations and communication. THIS IS WHY CONSULTATIONS ARE NOT FREE! Training consultations with Kovas’s Legacy are not about selling programs or convincing an owner to work with me. Consultations are a time for me to observe the dog and determine if the owner is responsive to my style of training and dedicated enough to follow through at home between sessions so that real change and improvement can happen. Even if someone does not begin a training program after the consultation, the owner is left with some tools to improve the situation.

We need stronger animal cruelty laws in Washington! If you agree, please sign. This is the area of Washington where Freyja was found dumped with her brother.
