Summer is Here!

Uncategorized Jun 02, 2021

Welcome to the sunshine!

Let's be prepared for the sun and all that comes with it!

Water! Make sure you have plenty of water for you and your pup.

Do you have supplies to keep your car cool? Keep your dog cool?

Amazon has great tarps or cooling caps.

Make sure you pay attention to how hot the pavement can be- keep those dog paws safe!

If you do have booties for your dog make sure they do not where them for a long period of time- yes they protect the paws- but they do not help the dog cool down! I recommend wearing them only in hazardous situations. Instead get your dog out an about and strengthen those paws out on the trails. Yet, again check the heat of the ground even the toughest paws can get burned with these warmer temperatures.

You may find working in the morning and evening are the best times to have success on the tracks. Remember scent rises in the heat and makes it more difficult for the dog's nose to find the track.

Enjoy this weather and stay safe. 

See you all on the trails!

My Short Story

I have been working dogs since 2005. I have taught obedience, detection, and tracking classes.  I was a SAR handler for 14 years, a narcotics handler for 9, and I worked as a bomb dog handler for two years. Now as K9 Track NW owner and trainer, I hope to train with you. My wish is to show you just how amazing your dog can be.
