A Walk in the Woods

Posted on: August 30, 2016 Last updated on: August 30, 2016 Written by: Katrin Comments: 0
I love tromping around in the woods.  Any time of year.  In the fall leaves, in the winter snow, in the summer bugs (ok my least favorite to be quite honest), in the spring mud.  It’s all good and beats…

Kibble Fishing

Posted on: June 26, 2016 Last updated on: June 26, 2016 Written by: Katrin Comments: 0
I’ve found kibble fishing to be a great, low stress way to introduce dogs to the water and swimming.  There is no pressure, no luring or trying to bribe them to swim there is just kibble tossed into the water…
