When I have a large pack of dogs with me, people often ask what I do if I run into other people/dogs on the trail.
Depending on the people/dogs approaching, I will either step off trail and keep my pack moving or ask them for a sit/down and create space for the other people to pass. I knew this particular group of dogs could manage being stationary while the people passed so that’s what we practiced here. Had there been off-leash dogs approaching us I would have created a lot more space and kept my pack moving with me.
Recall, stay (with distractions), and “yes” work are the main skills we needed to accomplish this.

Who needs this for their dog?! (Or should I say, whose dog NEEDS this?!)
I am super excited to announce that I will be offering Pack Adventures one day a week for current and past clients with dogs that have trained with me.
How it works: I will pick your dog up at a pre-established pick-up location, adventure all day (paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, xc-skiing, biking, etc) and then bring them back to the pick-up spot where you will take home a tired, fulfilled pup. 🤗
If you would like to get your dog out of the house for some mental and physical fulfillment with a well balanced group of dogs under a professional trainer’s supervision and guidance, this is for you! Comment “Adventure” and I will DM you with more details for signing up 🫶

When I begin training with any dog, leash work is the foundation of communication that we start with. Leash work looks like this ⬆️ When a dog understands how to move with you and yield to pressure from the leash, it makes these moments so much easier to navigate.

Dogs LOVE movement! Don’t forget to move away from them while you teach recall. You will become much more interesting 👌

The answer to most of your dog problems is simpler than you think. Put the LEASH on! How do you stop your dog from counter surfing? Use their leash. How do you teach your dog to stop pulling on walks? The leash. How do you teach your dog to come when called? Leash. The list goes on! Using the leash is always step one in creating clear communication with your dog!
If your dog is deaf to your commands, has bad behaviors, or if you want to teach them a new trick, you need to use your leash to guide them through right and wrong decisions.
Start having your dog wear their leash around the house while you are home. Even better: tether them to yourself so that you can hold them accountable to everything you ask AND interrupt them when they do things you don’t like. After some consistency, your relationship with your dog will start to improve and both sides of the leash will be happier for it!

These are the moments I live for. Taking time for myself. Time to connect with nature. Time to connect with my dogs (my best friends). Time to just step away from all of the busyness of life. Time to enjoy the most simple and beautiful things around me.
Are you taking time for yourself?
