We had a blast at yesterday's girls science group at our local library discussing behavior science and animal welfare. The girls learned about how behavior changes in different environments, dog body language, and how many animal professions (like dog training!) rely on applying keen observations to understand and work with animals better. The workshop ended with meeting Dottie and Amy, a certified therapy dog team.

Unedited video of going by a yard with a few dogs barking behind a fence. Why were the dogs I walked not barking back? It's simple really. Just tell them what's happening. No cues or commands. No treats or tricks. No saying "no" either. Sometimes simpler is truly easier...for you and your dogs.

This is just one of the things you'll learn in our upcoming walking workshops. Go here to learn more & register. https://www.bluemountaincanine.org/events/walkingtogether

This summer, we’re bringing back walking workshops — with a real-life focus. 🐾

In June, we’ll be offering twice our workshop called Walking Together: Real-Life Skills for Real Dogs. It's designed to help dogs and humans feel more connected, confident, and supported on walks.

☀️ Morning Session – Loose Leash Foundations (10:30 AM)
Learn practical walking skills that go beyond “stop pulling” and help create calmer, more connected movement together. Heel, loose leash, attention, and movement games.

🌿 Afternoon Session – Defensive Handling & Advocacy (1:30 PM)
Build confidence navigating real-world surprises, crowded spaces, loose dogs, and everyday stressors while learning supportive handling and advocacy strategies. Defensive moves, advocacy with strangers and off-leash dogs, protector positioning.

📍 Held outdoors in Pendleton
⏰ Each session is 1.5 hours
💲 $55 per session or $100 for both
Sunday June 14th or Saturday June 27th

These workshops are designed for everyday dogs and the people who love them — not perfection, just practical support for real life together. 💙

Our goal is to create a safe and supportive learning environment for everyone. Some dogs with bigger feelings around people or other dogs may benefit from one-on-one coaching before joining a group walking workshop.

Happy National Rescue Dog Day! Here is our own dog Coco enjoying some simple enrichment. Just put treats or kibble in an empty paper tube, fold in the ends a bit, and put it on the floor. Coco is a rescue who came to us from a client who had rescued her from Pendleton Animal Welfare Shelter (PAWS) / Pioneer Humane Society. Coco was highly reactive & missing a hip socket when we got her. Thanks to the Family Dog Mediation techniques, Coco enjoys life fully while still having a voice & choice. She has been our teacher, companion, and special girl and we are so grateful her story continues.

Here's to all the rescue dogs!

How would you rate your dog walks? How would your dog rate them?

If walks are less than satisfying, we have a walking workshop coming up June 20th. The focus will be loose leash skills in the morning and defensive handling in the afternoon. More details to come. If you'd like to get on the wait list, DM us or leave the comment WALKS. 👣🐾

Our sincere gratitude to the volunteers at the Pendleton Street Fair today. Without them, we would not have been able to get our tent up in the windy weather. We met some amazing dog guardians and even taught "Go say hi" to Cora the silver lab. Can't wait until next year!
