You (and your dog!) are invited to our next Moxie Community Walk!

Join us on Saturday, September 19 from 10:00–11:00 AM in Langley, BC for an hour of structured walking, training drills, and practical exercises designed to help dogs build and practice neutrality in a public setting.

This walk is open to all dogs and is a great opportunity to practice skills around other dogs, people, and everyday distractions in a supportive environment.

A few important details:

📅 Saturday, September 19

⏰ 10:00–11:00 AM

📍 Langley, BC

🦮 All dogs must remain on leash for the duration of the walk

The goal is to give you and your dog a chance to practice real-life skills outside of a traditional training environment while connecting with other local dog owners.

We’d love to see you there!

Hi - I’m Terra. 👋

I’m the dog trainer and professional dog walker behind Moxie Dog Training, named after the dog who changed absolutely everything for me.

When Moxie became reactive, I learned firsthand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when the dog you love struggles in the world. I know what it’s like to scan the environment constantly, worry about what other people are thinking and wonder whether you’re doing the right thing.

Working through it together didn’t just shape me as a trainer. It completely changed how I think about dogs, behaviour and the relationship we build with them.

It’s why I’m especially drawn to the dogs who feel like “a lot”- the sensitive ones, the spicy ones, the misunderstood ones and the ones whose owners desperately want to help but aren’t sure where to begin.

I don’t believe the goal of training is a perfectly obedient dog. I believe it’s clearer communication, greater trust and more freedom to enjoy your life together.

When I’m not training, you can usually find me hiking with a pack of dogs, near the ocean, planning my next adventure- or handling more p**p bags than any person reasonably should. 😂

There are a lot of things you can buy for your dog.

Fancy gear. Cute accessories. The latest enrichment toy.

But two of the greatest gifts you can give them are training and advocacy.

A well-trained dog doesn’t just have better manners - they have a bigger world.

They get to hike off the beaten path. They get to explore safely. They get more freedom, more adventures, and more opportunities to simply be a dog.

Training builds trust. Trust creates freedom.

Advocacy is just as important. Your dog needs you to make good decisions for them, protect their space, set boundaries, and help them navigate the world with confidence.

Dogs thrive when they have movement, structure, clear communication, and the chance to explore. But that kind of life starts with a relationship built on trust.

Training isn’t about control.

It’s about giving your dog the skills - and the freedom - to enjoy life to the fullest. 🤍

“He’s pulling because he’s stubborn.”

I hear this all the time, but the truth is much simpler.

Dogs pull because pulling works.

If pulling gets your dog closer to a smell, another dog, a squirrel, or the place they want to go, then pulling has been rewarded. And behaviours that are rewarded tend to get repeated.

The challenge is that leash walking isn’t something dogs naturally understand. Humans move at a different pace, stop unexpectedly, change direction, and expect dogs to stay close while ignoring all the exciting things happening around them.

That’s a lot to ask if we’ve never taught them how.

Loose leash walking isn’t about forcing a dog to stay beside you. It’s about teaching them that paying attention, staying connected, and moving with you is more rewarding than dragging you down the sidewalk.

The good news? Pulling is a learned behaviour, which means it can also be unlearned!

The next time your dog reaches the end of the leash, ask yourself: what are they trying to get to, and has pulling worked for them before?

Understanding *why* a behaviour happens is the first step toward changing it.

🎓🐾 Puppy Graduate!

A huge congratulations to Rue and her wonderful family on completing their puppy program! 💛

Rue has come such a long way over the past few weeks, building a strong foundation of obedience, confidence, and structure. The biggest credit goes to her family for showing up, staying consistent, and putting in the work between sessions.

Thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. I can’t wait to see everything Rue accomplishes as she grows!✨

If you’ve ever trained with me, you’ve probably noticed that I make a lot of turns on walks.

Sometimes it can feel repetitive. Sometimes it can even feel a little silly.

But there’s a reason for it.

Most dogs spend their walks focused on the environment. They’re watching for squirrels, scanning for other dogs, following scents, and making decisions about where they want to go next.

By changing direction unexpectedly, we create opportunities for our dogs to check in and pay attention to us.

Every successful turn teaches your dog that they don’t need to constantly monitor the world around them. Instead, they can relax and trust that you’re going to guide the walk.

Turns are also a great way to interrupt fixation before it becomes pulling, lunging, or reactivity. Rather than waiting for a problem to happen, we’re teaching our dogs a new pattern: notice the handler, follow the handler, stay connected.

The goal isn’t a perfect heel.

The goal is a dog that chooses to pay attention to you, even when there are more exciting things happening around them.

Connection is built one check-in at a time.

👇 Have you ever tried changing direction when your dog starts getting distracted on a walk?
