❄️🌨️ Winter Weather Policy 🌨️❄️

As the winter months approach, we want to ensure we're prepared to keep everyone safe while continuing to provide top-notch care for your pups. Here's how we'll be handling inclement weather this winter:

1️⃣ Safety First
If road conditions are deemed unsafe due to heavy snow, ice, or poor visibility, we will cancel walks for the day. Your dog's safety and our ability to reach them securely are our top priorities.

2️⃣ Advance Notice
We’ll assess conditions the evening before and early morning of each day. If we decide to cancel, you'll receive a notification by 6:00 AM via email or text, so you have time to plan accordingly.

3️⃣ Alternative Solutions
If cancellations occur and your pup requires immediate care, let us know! We'll do our best to accommodate critical needs, depending on weather and road conditions.

4️⃣ Dress for the Weather
On snowy days when walks proceed, please ensure your dog is equipped with proper winter gear, including jackets or boots if needed. This will keep them comfortable and safe in the elements.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we navigate the winter months. We’ll do everything we can to keep things running smoothly while prioritizing everyone’s well-being.

Stay warm and stay safe! ❄️🐾

Today, on our pack walk, we paused to honor and remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedom. Our peaceful walk through nature reminds us of the courage and dedication of the men and women who gave so much. May we carry their legacy forward with gratitude and respect. Lest we forget. 🩵

Back to the Basics with my boy Tahoe! 🐶

Today, Tahoe and I got back to basics with leash training, starting in a distraction-free area to keep his focus steady. Tahoe’s always been my high-energy boy, so walking calmly on leash isn’t his favorite—he’d much rather be running free!

We introduced the head halter as a helpful tool, and it’s already showing results.. The minute there’s tension on the lead, the halter gently turns his head back toward me, giving him a reminder to stay by my side instead of forging ahead.

It’s important to remember that regression is okay! Training isn’t always a straight line, and going back to the basics is sometimes just what we need. We’ll keep building his skills little by little, adding in distractions as he’s ready. Setting him up for success.

Progress is progress, and we’re in this together. 🥰

Proud of you, Tahoe! 🐾🩵

Today’s pack walk was extra special as we welcomed Bailey (Lexi’s brother) on his first adventure with us! 🥰

With sunshine streaming down ☀️ and plenty of mud to keep the dogs happy, it was a day full of wagging tails, playful splashes, and muddy paws. Couldn’t ask for a better start to Bailey’s journey with our pack! 🐾🌲🩵
