❄️ Baby it's cold outside 🎵

Published 7 months 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 =)

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
