Sometimes it’s gross outside, your dog is bored,you are tired and the afternoon dog walker (aka your husband) is not yet available. Find It games are a great way to entertain your dog, give them some mental enrichment, let them work their noses (so good for them!) and buy some time before their next activity.
Anything you can put food in and hide is a great toy! Start with easy finds if they are new to it, so they are easily reinforced and then gradually make the search harder!

Juniper has been working on learning to retrieve a stool for her person on the occasion that she falls over in her yard and needs something to help her get back up again. Check out how well Juniper is doing in the middle stages of this training process being persistent and bringing the stool to me!

Join me and other humans of tricky dogs next Tuesday at Backroads for a casual and free gathering to build community around our best friends who can, at times, drive us crazy! Have a challenging, reactive, fearful, selective or high strung dog with unique needs can be exhausting, alienating, lonely, frustrating, scary, not what you thought you signed up for and more. But there are many other folks in the same boat....you're just all avoiding each other when you are out with your dogs! 🙃

So leave your dogs at home and come share (or not! just be with!) others who get it.

Not sure if your dog qualifies as "challenging"? Just come! If you are feeling it would be helpful then we would love to have you.

5:45 on August 18th at Backroads Brewing in Nelson. This event is FREE. Please register in advance so I know how many to expect. https://www.inpartnershipdogtraining.com/classes/

Smoke and Training Update:
I am still out working with scheduled clients in the smoke, mask on. That said if you are uncomfortable being out for your training session, I’m happy to postpone, please just let me know. Sending love, wishes for rain and low winds to those in the fires.

When the kitties really want to be involved in training too!
They are always allowed to hang too as long as they are not too distracting. 😍

Taking breaks on walks is ok!
For puppies especially, sometimes they need a moment just to take in the world. Let them pause. Sit with them even and just watch the world go by. Little puppies can be overstimulated quite easily, so giving breaks, keeping new experiences short and sweet and letting them have some moments to stop and sniff are all important.

Stopping does not mean stubborn, it means I need a moment, I’m whelmed, I’m hot, I’m tired…Listen to this communication. As they age yes it can mean I want to say hi to my friend or I’m not ready to go home and need more activity. Maybe not what you want to hear, but important to heed and address appropriately rather than just dragging them down the street.

When our dogs are communicating with us the more we show them we will listen, the more they will communicate and the healthier both they and your relationship will be.

When will I return to work? I will be available for basic email questions later in the fall and planning to return to work at the end of February.

I am so appreciative of all the stoke and support I have received from you all so far - thank you!

In the last week we have wrapped up two puppy classes and a trail class! Here are some of the sweet faces from those. My documentation was somewhat sub par 🙈 but the confidence building, socialization, skills learned and friends made was not!
