Schedule time for movement. When life gets busy, movement may get cut from your daily routine. We recommend scheduling your movement sessions like you schedule other essential activities on your calendar. Even a short movement session has positive benefits.

Summer is here…and for many of us, that means our favorite outdoor spaces are more crowded. When you get outside to get moving, share the trails to keep yourself and other trail users safe. Follow the rules (including the rules about leashing your dogs); yield to uphill trail users; and stay alert! The goal is to have fun and stay safe today, so that you can keep moving tomorrow.

Move more. Move often. Share the trail. Stay alert when you move outside.

Celebrating Puddin’s Birthday!

Yesterday was Puddin the Yellow Lab’s birthday. She’s 7. We didn’t celebrate with cake or wine (although she will get a pup cup later in the week). We celebrated by giving her lots of attention and hiking in the woods In other words, it was a normal day! Please join us in wishing Puddin a happy birthday.

Move more. Move often. Whether you’re a dog or a human, we suggest making movement part of your birthday celebration.

Listen to your inner voice. Often that little voice in your head telling you to use caution is there to keep you safe. Ben has occasionally ignored that voice…and wound up injured. We’re not suggesting you NEVER leave your comfort zone. When your inner voice waves a red flag, consider what it’s trying to tell you. Weigh the pros and cons, then decide how to proceed. It may be better to be cautious and stay safe today, so that you can keep moving tomorrow.

Sometimes you need a break. Summer is here, and it arrived with a heatwave. We got out early with the Labs to beat the heat, but it was still a warm hike. Between recovery and the demands of our day jobs, we decided to take the day off from releasing a Movement Tips video. We’ll be back to our regular schedule on Friday with a new Movement Tip and on Monday with a new Lab Lesson. Until then, we hope you make time to move and rest this week.

Move more. Move often. Stay safe as you move through the Summer heat.

Heatwave Safety Tips for Dogs (and their humans).

The Labs love to get outside with the human staff…but heat can put them, and their humans, at risk. So what do we do to keep moving during a heatwave? We get outside early. We take frequent water breaks. We shorten the walk if necessary. And we seek shade whenever possible.

Move more. Move often. Keep yourself and your dogs safe as you move through the Summer.
