The Weekly Woof: January 17, 2026 Edition 🐕🌊

Hey South OC dog crew! Tommy Stark, The Dog Director, droppin' your quick weekend roundup on keepin' pups sharp, social, and smilin'. Straight talk, coastal style—let's dive in!

Group Class Update 📅

Beginner Group Classes are underway at my private Dee Dog Park in San Juan Capistrano—focusing on buildin' that unbreakable bond with core skills like sit, stay, and rock-solid recall in a positive, distraction-filled group environment. I'm currently not accepting new clients for this series, but keep an eye on DogTrainerOC.com for future openings and updates!

Pack Walk Alert 🚶‍♂️🐶

THE Pack Walk of OC is comin' up: February 7th at 9:30 AM sharp, Laguna Niguel Regional Park. Easy 3-mile trails perfect for socialization and practicin' calm group walks. Free, family-friendly, and always a great time—RSVP now at ocpackwalks.com!

Quick Training Tip 💡

Strugglin' with distractions? Master the "leave it" drill: Drop a low-value treat, give the command, then reward from your hand with a jackpot when they resist. Start in calm spots, level up to beach-level chaos. Just 5 minutes daily builds killer impulse control fast.

Dog Spot to Hit 🏖️

San Clemente Pier: Wide, breezy paths ideal for leashed walks, surfer-watchin', and gentle sound desensitization. Pack water and bags—it's a low-key gem for real-world focus practice with those epic ocean views.

Positive Dog News Scoop 📰

Fresh breakthrough alert: Researchers just released new guidelines for diagnosin' and monitorin' canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CCDS, aka dog dementia) in senior pups. This international expert set gives vets clear standards to spot early signs and track progress every six months startin' at age 10—helpin' keep our older dogs comfortable and sharp longer. Big step forward for golden years!

That's your bite-sized Woof for the week. Got trainin' questions or wanna chat spots? Hit me up @ocdogtrainer or swing by DogTrainerOC.com. Keep those tails high!

Wag on, Tommy Stark The Dog Director

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
