The Weekly Woof: January 18, 2025 Edition

Brought to you by Tommy Stark, The Dog Director
🌟 “I don’t whisper—I speak!” 🌟

🐾 Welcome to This Week’s Woof!

Hello, OC dog owners! 🌞 The weather is stunning this week—perfect for outdoor adventures with your dog. Whether you’re taking a scenic walk or practicing recall in the park, make the most of these sunny days before the rain arrives. Here’s what’s happening and how you can elevate your time with your dog!

🌟 Save the Date: THE Pack Walk of OC

🗓️ When: Saturday, February 22, 2025
🐕 Where: Laguna Niguel Regional Park
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM

Join the largest pack walk in Orange County! Leash up your dog and connect with other dog lovers while enjoying the beautiful trails. It’s a fantastic way to socialize your pup and be part of a thriving community.

🦴 Spotlight on Dee Dog Park

Looking for purposeful play? Dee Dog Park provides the structure and engagement your dog craves. The park offers an enriching environment designed to stimulate your dog’s mind and body.

Pro Tip: Incorporate training into your visit by practicing recall, teaching scent games, or working on focused commands. Structured play strengthens your dog’s skills and enhances your bond.

Note: No events are currently scheduled at the park, but members can visit daily. Learn more at OCdogpark.com.

🐕 Training Tip of the Week

What’s Your Dog’s Tail Saying?
Your dog’s tail is a communication tool! A loose wag at mid-height signals calmness, while a stiff, high wag might indicate excitement or tension. Paying attention to their tail helps you respond to their needs and navigate social interactions effectively.

🌟 Socialization Made Simple: The Rule of 7

Expose your puppy or young dog to:

Seven surfaces (grass, carpet, gravel, etc.).
Seven objects (balls, toys, household items).
Seven locations (parks, homes, vet clinics).

These experiences build confidence and adaptability, setting your dog up for lifelong success.

Scheduling Private Lessons

I do NOT book ahead of the current week

I do my weekly schedule based on your locations/availability - this reduces chances of getting into traffic delays between lessons plus maximizes the amount of dogs I can help on a daily basis.

Please give me more than one option when giving your availability if possible. Makes organizing the calendar much easier. You can also give priority times if you wish.

Sunday evening when I send out the events please confirm/accept the invite if you can.

Priority and Packages

This does not apply to new clients New clients do NOT pay before lessons if we have not met

Clients with packages will be scheduled first. Those without packages will fill in open spots on a location basis. If there is no space in the calendar for the week, I will add you to a waiting list for last minute cancellations.

Instructions

•The cut off is (Sunday) at 6pm IF you would like to train this week and list a few dates and times that work for you. I will respond to you by Sunday at 8 PM with your confirmed day and time via Google Event. Once you receive the “Google Event” email please hit “accept” so that I know you have received it.
**Please allow for a potential delay of 10-15 mins arrival time based on traffic and lessons going longer - especially late in the day.

You MUST have a card on file to give availability. See above. You only register once!
