Helloooo Paw Partners 👋 This week I want to introduce you to the Paw Partner Foundations mini-course. To be honest, I put it up a while ago and haven’t polished it… but if you play along and tell me what you like (and what’s confusing), you’ll get my full attention this week with tips for helping you and your dog be better partners! It’s short, simple, and full of small wins that make a big difference in how you and your dog connect. 👉 The course unlocks at Level 2. If you’re there already — congrats, it’s waiting for you in the Classroom! 🎉 👉 If you’re still at Level 1 — you’re so close. Just browse the community posts, drop a few comments, give thumbs up or share a photo or story in 🗣️ Chat’n Brag or Fun and Tales 🤣 and you’ll level up in no time. 💬 Let’s keep it easy. For now just drop a GIF, comment, or photo of your doggo! See you tomorrow with Lesson 1. Partners in Life and Adventure! Arrrooooo! Maren and Ivy 💚🐾

I started off with some gloomy thoughts, but turned this day around!

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! 💚

Guess what showed up next to my name again today? The little flame badge! That means I’ve been active in Skool and here in ACE for 30 days in a row. The green squares = embers … the flame = bonfire … miss a day and poof, it goes out. Members on the leaderboard with flames — see below! @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Debbie Allery @Éva Raposa @Sue Crawford @Jackie Wylde @Sharese Gueret @Scott Bryant @Shannon Koss @Angela Day I’ve had the flame before, but I let it go out while I was away on vacation — and honestly, 100% worth it. Life (and trail time) comes first. 🏔️⛺️🛶🚲🚐🥾🐶 Still, I do like the idea of keeping our community campfire stoked. And here’s the cool part: the more we all post, comment, like, or toss in a goofy GIF, the brighter our ACE fire burns 🔥 … and the easier it is for other adventure-dog folks to find us. 🌲🐾 Let’s make this a Bonfire Weekend! What will you toss on the fire? • A win • A struggle • A photo • Or even just a silly squirrel GIF 🐿️ or more fire 🔥

Be honest… what food do you share with your dog? 👉 from the table? 👉 a sneaky bite on the couch? 👉 trail snacks out of the backpack? Or do you keep a firm rule: only from the bowl, no begging allowed? Ivy gets cheese (obviously 🧀😅)… your turn — what’s your dog’s favourite “human snack,” and what’s the rule in your house (or on the trail)? Drop your answers (and GIFs if you’ve got ’em) ⬇️
