Pawsome Updates

On Wednesday, Peaches and I joined Yumby for a walk at Mount Tolmie Park. It was a lively outing with many off-leash interactions. Peaches and Yumby received plenty of hellos and pets from other park-goers, enjoying the social atmosphere and the scenic surroundings. The park provided a great environment for them to interact freely and safely with others.

Wednesday, Tank, Finn, and Peaches enjoyed a collaborative walk from the boy's home over to Portage Park and back. Keeping everyone on leash, Peaches did great with the boys, matching their energy as they all bumped shoulders happily. The trio had several successful encounters with other dogs, maintaining composure mostly. Tank, however, still showed some signs of unease, barking at dogs that caught him off guard or reacting to quick movements nearby. Overall, it was a positive outing with good moments of interaction.

This past Wednesday's pack adventure from 10 AM to 11:30 AM in Langford included Austin, Peaches, Jilly, Frankie, and Milo. We enjoyed a scenic loop around Glen Lake and West Hills. The group did excellently with loose leash walking, except for Milo, who was notably more energetic, likely due to feeling better after his recent illness. It took some effort, with multiple stops to reposition him, but after about 45 minutes, Milo started to match the calm pace of the rest of the pack.

Two nights ago, Hilo and Peaches enjoyed their second walk together at Elk Beaver Lake. It was a chilly evening in Victoria, which seemed to energize them. While Peaches was let off-leash to explore and set her own boundaries, Hilo remained on leash, still learning to respect those boundaries. Despite this, he was thrilled to be out with his "girlfriend."

Last night's walk with Hilo took place from 6:30 to 7:30 at Layritz Park. The weather was cold, and initially, Hilo got overly excited when encountering the first couple of dogs. However, he improved significantly halfway through the walk. He had a positive interaction with a strange puppy, marking the first such encounter without any issues. This progress is especially noteworthy as he's been known to react more intensely in the past.
