There appears to be a ghost dog in the forest!!

What’s up for you and your dog this weekend? 🐶⛺️🌲 👉 Are you hitting the trails, relaxing at home, or juggling some training challenges? 👉 Got a question about how to make it smoother, easier, or more fun? Share your Weekend Woofs, Wags, Wins & Woes in the comments (or make your own post 👀). I’ll read them all and share tips or answers next week. 💬 And don’t just stop at your own update — chime in on someone else’s too! Swap ideas, cheer each other on, or just drop a 🐾 to say “same here.” Photos, quick notes, GIFS or even just 👍 all count! 📸✍️ Arrroooo! Maren & Ivy 🐾💚 (A couple of blast from the past photos for fun)

It’s a soggy weekend here on the wet west coast of BC. The joke goes… we don’t tan here, we rust. 😂 My husband already took Ivy for a nice long walk this morning, and I’ll head out with her again this afternoon. Today, I’m going old-school vinyl raincoat instead of my Gore-Tex gear -- keeping it slow and skipping the hills so that I don't end up wetter inside my jacket than the outside. 😅 Ivy doesn’t mind the rain. No jacket for her. She just gets a quick towel-down when we get home. When we first adopted her, she hated it, but with gentle handling and treats, she came around. Now it’s part of the routine: towel, zoomies, couch rub. 💭 What about you and your dog? 💧Do you splash through puddles or power-walk for survival? 💧Raincoats — people, dogs, or both? 💧Toweling off — love it or loathe it? 💧Washing feet — every time or only when muddy? 🐾🧼 How do you and your dog handle rainy days where you live? 🌦️🐾 🏡 🛌

What would you like to chat about this week? Recall and leash walking are always hot topics…. Or we could chat about anything that comes to mind that relates to dogs, and adventuring through life together with them! 🔥 Wednesday: Virtual Campfire Chat Who’s pulling up a chair around the campfire this week? We’ll keep it casual, but since it’s also the Recall Challenge week, recall talk may just sneak its way in. Head up to the Calendar tab at the top -- click the link and save them to your own calendar so you don’t miss out. 8:30am PDT https://www.skool.com/ace-adventure-canine/calendar

Multi user areas can be soooooo tricky … so this was refreshing to see! There is also apparently a sign with dog owner guidelines which is more common. This is in Vancouver Island. Qualicum. Our Community Park off-leash trails are places where people and dogs can enjoy nature together. To keep the trails safe and fun for everyone, follow these simple guidelines: ✅ Expect dogs running, playing, and barking ✅ Announce yourself when passing from behind (“coming up behind”) ✅ Slow down or walk when approaching dogs ✅ Avoid aggressive behaviour toward dogs ✅ Use caution at blind corners Let’s keep our trails safe, respectful, and welcoming for all users—two- and four-legged alike! 💚
