Your OC Dog Life Digest — Lucky Edition 🍀
It’s a festive week here in Orange County, and we’re feeling lucky to be leading this incredible community of dogs and dog people. Whether your pup’s rocking a leprechaun collar or just soaking in the green sunshine, we’ve got your week covered—from training tips to river walks and everything in between.
"Calm Leadership Before Celebration"
Big holidays mean big distractions—costumes, parties, noise. The best way to prep your dog for a successful outing? Practice threshold control and calm leash walking this week. Before the chaos, teach calm. That’s true canine leadership.
Spring Allergies Are Here!
If your pup is sniffing and scratching more than usual, blame the blooming OC flora. Wipe down paws and bellies after walks. For sensitive skin, try a light apple cider vinegar rinse (diluted 1:3). Clean pup = happy pup.
We’re getting festive next weekend, so mark your calendars:
📍 THE Pack Walk of OC – Laguna Niguel Regional Park
📅 Saturday, March 22nd
🕔 5:00 PM sharp – bring your green and your best leash manners!
This isn’t just a walk—it’s a community reset. If your dog needs structure, calm socialization, and leadership reinforcement, this is the event to attend.
Your Dog Can Smell Your Stress Before You Speak.
Research shows dogs detect emotional changes via scent long before we speak a word. That’s why energy and body language matter even more than commands. Be the leader your dog wants to follow—calm, assertive, and steady.
"Training your dog is how you build trust—not just obedience."
If your pup knows you’ve got things under control, they’ll follow. That’s why structure = security. A calm, structured environment gives your dog freedom. And that freedom is the real pot of gold.
Snap a festive photo of your pup this week—whether they’re rocking green gear, lounging on the clover, or showing off their “lucky sit.”

Keep those walks structured, treats simple, and energy calm.
Your dog’s behavior is your message to the world—make it one you’re proud of.
Sláinte! 🍀

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.
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.
•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.
Please make sure that you have registered before filling in the availability box below. Once that form is filled out then your "card" is added to my system and then the availability will work.
You only register ONE time!
