Simple enrichment idea for any breed 💛.

Want your pup to look like this? 😴
Group walks are a great way to break up your dog’s day without over-stimulating them.
Dogs need up to 16 hours of sleep…
but if they’re constantly over stimulated they can’t switch off..

Why am I feeding my dog in the rain? 🌧️
I am counter conditioning his emotional response to the rain.
Turning the scary rain drops into a good thing (his breakfast).
If your dog is fearful of the rain, start to try this in light rain. Do not force them outside, try placing some treats near the door and work your way outside, if they retreat, start indoors, do not push them. .

Dogs under control when there is an on lead dog in the park is what I aim for on all my group walks. On lead dogs are on a lead for a REASON, don’t be that person ☺️.

Our group walks today!
We start 2 hours early when the temps reach over 30 degrees and we choose the most shaded parks and ones with a nice breeze ☺️ your dogs will never walk on pavement on my walks, straight to the grass and plenty of water breaks and chilling in the shade.
If you’d like your dog on a group walk please give me a message 🐶 .
