This October, you and your dog have OPTIONS. 👏🐾

🐕 Saturday 10/17 — Group Walk + “Don’t Eat That”
Because apparently our dogs believe sidewalks are buffets. 😂 We’ll work on real-world skills for passing food, trash, and other questionable snacks.

👃 Tuesday 10/27 OR Saturday 10/31 — The Happy Hounds & Beyond Hunt
A sniffy adventure with searching, problem-solving, exploring, and letting your dog do what dogs do best: use their noses.

Which Hunt date works for you? Text me directly to vote, or text me to reserve your spot for the 10/17 walk!

Things are heavy in MN right now.
What’s happening with ICE is scary, exhausting, and hitting way too close to home for a lot of people.

If you need support or resources, I’ve shared mutual aid links in my bio. I’m here. 🤍

When the world feels icy—literally and emotionally—we play instead.
Not to ignore what’s happening, but to survive it.

Simple nosework games have been one of the easiest ways for me to stay regulated and connected with my dog when walks aren’t safe and my nervous system is already doing the most.

Take care of yourselves. And each other.
