Springtime fun with my neighbourhood crew!
Beggin' for treats, playing in the grass and finding bees in beautiful flowers 💖

Today we (I) skated! I tried to get a group picture but Echo hid behind me.
Skating uphill was more work than walking. I think I worked harder than the dogs did today 😅
No video, hands were occupied.

Back at it!
Spent the summer nursing re-occuring injuries, and most recently a nasty chest cold, and slow walking with my ol'boy.

He loved it, but now I feel out of shape. We were capped out at 2.7km with Charly short legs.

So today I dropped him off after the first leg and made the big boys run with me. We did not run the whole way, but it felt good to pick up the pace again!

Group pic from last week.

Hit me up if your pooch wants in!
$25 for the first dog
$5 for the second in the same family
$30 + if I need to use my vehicle to pick up or get me there. Willing to travel for a price.

Double doggie day is complete with George and Bella and their very friendly cat that wanted to get under my seat. Maybe I need to clean under there 😆

Have empathy for reactive dogs. They're living in a human's world and doing the best with what they understand.

It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks or says about your reactive dog’s behaviour because it’s completely acceptable, justified and even necessary for them to communicate when they are uncomfortable.

And your doing your damn best to help them feel safe and heard so keep it up!

Most people do not understand dog behaviour, even people with well trained obedient dogs, so honestly their opinion doesn’t matter.

Society really needs to be educated and start seeing dog behaviour on the same level as human behaviour because it’s honestly no different and stop judging dog owners and telling them what to do or how their dog should behave because it’s all bu****it and incorrect and not helping anyone.

When we see two freinds at a cafe and one of them is crying, we wouldn’t judge them and say that is a bad freind she’s not doing her job or that girl who’s crying is badly behaved, she shouldn’t be out in public.

We would feel empathy and understand that girl is having a hard time.

But when we see dogs acting out in a big way or even a small way, accusations and judgments are thrown around left right and centre about the dog being disobedient, disrespectful, needs more training, unruly, that person doesn’t know what they are doing etc

Now if we the dog mom or dad, let those judgments effect us, we’re likely to take it personally and effect our own confidence and feel ashamed, like it’s our fault and yet, it’s not our fault that our dog is having a hard time and their behaviour is not a reflection of who we are or our ability’s. It also effects our ability to be present and connected to our dogs when they need us most.

Acceptance of our dog’s communication as being valid and supporting them through tough moments is the key to real transformation ✨

Wednesday's walkies!

Harness up doggies!
I found out first hand last week that Bella is a total ham about getting into her harness and had to get a video.
All belly rubs and silliness! She tries to hop out of it if she gets up, so roll over with treats it is!
George is a good ol' high fiver and gives up his paws like a champ. 🐾

Road travel = Leash time.
Yes they listen well off lead, but I like the security on our ever busier mountain road.
