❄️ Baby it's cold outside 🎵

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Haven't you wished for people to stay home when you walk your dog? Thought of walking early or during the rain, just so you can avoid people? Wished the park was empty so you could enjoy it with your dog?

That's why winter is the BEST time to train!

If you have a dog who struggles out in the world, dress for the weather and head outside! We can help our dogs learn new behaviour patterns now. As the weather warms and people start coming back outside, it is a nice gentle flow for our dogs to learn along with the changing season.

During the winter we actually start stalking people and dogs... ok not actually stalking (that's creepy and not ok), but we start looking for people, hoping we see dogs or runners or bikes, purposely going out on Saturdays and going to those parks that are busy in the summer..

Training can feel almost TOO easy. Wouldn't that be nice?

If you have thoughts or want advice on clothes to keep you warm, just hit reply =)

The number of people I have had crying during a lesson is a lot higher than you might think. Puppies are HARD! Dogs with behaviour challenges are HARD! It's ok to feel burned out and exhausted. What if, instead of asking you to do more, I told you that you would get further with your pooch if you actually did less? What if you had a plan customized to YOUR life that had you training more efficiently, so you didn't have to work so hard? Puppies and adolescents need age-appropriate training to...
