Dec 26th adventures

Aloha,
Two great places to go right now are Pinebrook and Daly Canyon for hiking. Most of the trails are snow covered and beautiful.
Tip of the day. If you are out with your dogs or just by yourself on the trails and a pack of dogs or even one dogs is charging towards you, a good thing to do is stand tall and be calm. Say "out" or "Stop" with one or both hands in a stop signal just like a traffic cop. Try to use a calm assertive voice. Now, if you are on the other side of things-your dogs are the ones charging, simply say my dogs are nice or friendly. This is not only telling the other person and their dogs, but also your dogs that everything is cool and that we just want to say hello. The worst thing you can do is yell at your dogs and be stressed or fearful, dogs are very in tuned with our energy.
Peace. Schwaby
