Nov 14th adventures





Aloha,
Yaahoooo.....The snow has been flying and Robs trail in Sunpeak was fantastic!! Roxy led the charge with her new adventure buddy Reo who was learning the ropes from her on this day. I believe that dogs CAN learn many things from one another such as staying with and be a part of the pack, playing well with others and meeting new dogs. A good human pack leader is also a key component and can be one the most important part of a dogs life. Max and Dryfus were hanging together like they do a lot of the time with Dryfus looking out for his old buddy. I have been watching this relationship grow throughout the last couple of seasons and it's been fun to see. Our second hike on the Lost Prospector trail we worked on patients and staying close to me. I generally use the dogs names, the word close, positive energy and body language, and warm friendly tones, all of which are important ways of communicating with our dogs. Just remember, a confident pack leader has a confident pack.
Peace. Schwaby
