Stuck at Home Due to Snow?

Dogs Driving you Crazy?

Many dogs can entertain themselves in the snow which is enjoyable to watch. Some dogs need more direction. Either way, it’s all good!

Here are some ideas to entertain your furry friends at home.
1. Get out the snow shoes, grab some trekking poles, fetch the leash and take your dog for a walk in the snow

2. If friends with dog buddies can safely travel for a visit, set up a play date

3. Review some obedience skills or teach your house bound pooch some new tricks

4. A little indoor agility can be fun

I have been training dogs and their people for over 20 years. I work with pups from 7 weeks old to senior plus dogs and offer basic obedience to advanced off leash training both privately and group classes. Other services include behavior consultations to help both ends of the leash with everything from aggression, puppy/dog manners and public manners to separation anxiety. As a "real world" dog trainer, I take training out of the classroom or home when both the pet and family are ready, and take training to the street. I also offer pet therapy training classes preparing both the handler and dog for their therapy test and future service as a therapy team and coordinate several pet therapy programs in the Seattle area. My complete bio, description of services, class dates and on line class registration is listed on my website at www.spokesdog.com.
