🗞️ **THE WEEKLY WOOF**

🐕 **Pack Walk Alert!**

Hey everyone — the next **THE Pack Walk of OC** is **TONIGHT**!

🗓 March 21st

🕔 5:00 PM

📍 Laguna Niguel Regional Park

Let’s get those paws moving with Tommy Stark leading the pack. All dogs welcome — just bring your leash, good vibes, and poop bags. These walks build real social neutrality and handler confidence in a calm, structured way.

🧠 **This Week’s Training Tip**

Follow through beats repeating commands every time.

Say it once in a clear, calm voice — then guide your dog to do it. No “sit… sit… sit… SIT!” loop. That just teaches them they can ignore the first ask. Consistent follow-through builds trust and quicker learning without the frustration. Short, daily reps in real-life spots make it stick.

🏖️ **South OC Dog Spot to Visit**

Salt Creek Trail (hit it during quieter hours)

✅ Wide paths perfect for structured leash practice

✅ Natural distractions to proof your “heel” and engagement

✅ Fresh air and room to reinforce focus without overwhelming your pup

📰 **Pawsitive Dog News**

A new study out of the Dog Aging Project shows that certain small molecules in the blood can predict lifespan in dogs — and those same markers also forecast human longevity. Dogs really are one of the best models we have for understanding aging. Exciting stuff that could lead to better health insights for all of us.

💬 **Quote of the Week**

“Your dog doesn’t need louder commands — your dog needs clearer leadership.”

That’s the Woof this week — keep it real, keep showing up, and let’s keep building better connections with our dogs. If you’re heading to the pack walk tonight, I’ll see you there. Give your pup an extra scratch from me.

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 registration card on file to give availability. See above. You only register once
