Mr Hobbes is my newest client.

We are working on improving his mobility which got impacted by arthritis and a fall.

He adapted quickly to enjoying his sessions and is feeling recharged after.

Let's see if we can make him walk stairs again!

I had the pleasure of walking Mr Gale today, also giving him a short massage session at the end.

He's available for adoption and also to be walked through miles & mutts.

A real sweetheart with wonderful manners!

Weight & nail management

I know these are not popular topics to talk about. I also know that people feel personally attacked when I bring it up.

Please don't get me wrong: You are doing a great job managing your dog's health! You are doing the best you can!

Me bringing these topics up is not criticism, it's education. Learning never stops! Every day we get the chance to learn new things and step up our game. Which is awesome!

I encourage you to watch this 14 minute video, because it contains really good & useful information.

And if you're curious about optimizing your dog's weight, just reply the word 'weight' to this post, and I will send you more helpful information.

You got this!

Starting Sunday, April 12th, this four week class would be a great step in if you are interested in our The Better Companion - Walkie Talkies Group Walks (FREE!) https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BoXqUpjF8/

Hit the trails with confidence in Tails on Trails! A class designed to prepare you and your dog for safe, enjoyable outdoor adventures. This course focuses on trail etiquette, reliable recalls, leash skills, and polite behavior around people, wildlife and other dogs.
