🐾🌲 ROSE & CO ADVENTURE DOG HIKE: THE “UP TO THE DAM WE GO” EDITION 🌊🐶
Get ready for a proper forest adventure where your legs burn a little, your dog lives their best life, and everyone ends up at a dam pretending they’re Olympic swimmers.

🕘 Start time: 09:00
📍 Meeting point: Parking area behind Hawthorn Boutique Hotel
Pin location : https://maps.app.goo.gl/EJntNL2vR4Li4rMf9?g_st=ac

🌿 THE ADVENTURE
We head out on a 5.5km scenic uphill forest track (don’t worry — it’s a gentle “I regret my life choices” kind of uphill, not a mountain climb).
Non-technical jeep track road
Forest vibes all the way 🌲
Dogs get plenty of off-lead running space
Big highlight: 🏊‍♂️ A dam swim stop for the doggos
Loop around the dam + return journey
Expect happy dogs, muddy paws, and at least one human saying “I didn’t think it was this uphill…” 😄

🐕 WHAT TO BRING
Comfortable walking shoes 👟
Towel for soggy doggos 🧺
Water for you + your pup 💧
A good sense of humour (mandatory)
💰 PRICING
R60 per person + 1st dog
R20 per extra dog
R40 per walker (no dog)

📲 Bookings: 066 343 2401 (Elmi)
Come for the forest. Stay for the chaos. Leave with a tired dog and a very satisfied soul. 🐕🌿

Buster & Thombi clocked in for an unforgettable forest mission while their humans were off on holiday 🌲🐾

Expectations: a quiet walk…

Reality: full-on adventure mode, muddy paws, water stops, and a very serious attempt at hunting mice like seasoned professionals 😄

From splashing through trails to charging up (and down) slippery hills, these two made sure every step counted — and no snack was left behind.
If your pup needs a holiday of their own, Rose & Co has it covered.

Your dog knows their name.
That might be the problem.

"He's ignoring his name."
But what have we taught their name actually means?

Sometimes it means

Stop that.

Come here.

Leave it.

What have you got?

Move away from that.

Pay attention.

Over time, a name can stop being a simple attention cue and become a prediction of whatever comes next.

Is their name used as an interruption, to vent your disappointment or does it add pressure?

If so, it's not surprising that some dogs become less enthusiastic about responding.

The issue isn't always that they don't know their name.
Sometimes they've learned all too well that their name predicts things they'd rather avoid.

Every time we say a dog's name, we're teaching them what it means.

So when your dog hears their name.

What do they think is about to happen?
