Giving our dogs biologically fulfilling activities is such an important part of owning a dog.

Today my foster Arlo (from Homeward Bound Waggin, Inc) got to try out weight pull and did GREAT! Weight pull is such a great activity for dogs who love to pull. While Arlo is remarkably good on leash (now) I like giving my fosters a variety of activities to try 1) because it’s fun for both of us 2) it gives his future owners more options for games that fit into their lifestyle.

One of the best parts about weight pull is that it’s really good for dogs and handlers who have different ability levels. So if your dog is stronger than you, you don’t have as much endurance as them, or you just want to take it easy for the day, but your dog doesn’t, weight pull is a great option!

We started with a short off-leash walk so he could potty, stretch his legs, and warm up, then we put on the special made weight pull harness (this activity CANNOT be done in a normal pet store harness!), add weight, in this case in the form of chains, and off we went. He got a bit of a harder workout and I didn’t get too worn out before I had to leave for church.

Do you have a wild child dog that you need help taming, without dampening their spark? Reach out! I’d love to help you teach them how to play appropriately and productively and relax when you ask them. Training should make your dog’s world bigger, not smaller so let’s get training!

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks!”

One of the most common questions I get is
“My dog is ‘3+’ years old. Can they still be trained?”

While changing habits is harder as we get older, it’s not impossible! I once worked with a 13yr dog with major behavioral issues. She was a badass, sassy as could be, and wished to commit murder towards other dogs 😅, but she was absolutely an old dog who “learned new tricks” and even lived with another dog in the last few months before she passed!

I always recommend starting training as early as you can to set solid foundations, but the only thing stopping any of us from learning new skills as we age is ourselves. Whether you need privates or group classes dogs of all ages are always welcome.

Featuring old man Galileo who has reached the age where his only “job” is being cute and getting treats for it. Oh and sleeping, that is a VERY important job! 😉
