Yesterday I was out walking my huge German Shepherd and two young women with two young reactive dogs pulled over to the edge of the sidewalk, the dogs lunging and barking.

Here's what they were doing wrong: they should have kept walking away and moved further, and further away and keep on walking so the dogs are not looking at the thing that is exciting them. When the dog calms down, then you can turn and walk back. It's not the destination, it's the journey that matters. Amirite?

In other news, Maggie is slowly learning about boats.

Maggie is super excited about garden tools. What might you do to try to help her learn to cope with wheelbarrow, shovel, hoe?

Depending on what you want,  becoming a member at Whole Dog Camp, might seem like a bargain or it might seem too expensive.

It's $100 per month, but you can drop in and train on competition quality agility equipment,  pretty much anytime you want for no additional cash. Other places charge by hour.

And if you are seeking to grow as a dog trainer, or seeking to socialize your dog, you can join a group training session for just $10. So 4 group sessions in one month, and that totals $140. Not bad! And you COULD join 8 group sessions in one month, and completely transform your understanding of yourself and your dog and get serious about your understanding of animal training for just $180.

Or maybe you're someone who just wants to take their dog on a date, let your dog off leash, pick some rhubarb, herbs or flowers or just go for a walk.

We keep the lawn mowed. Lifeguard is on duty in our gated community. Vaccines and clean stool test required.
