Hot Summer Dog Training

Living in Phoenix, AZ, I have had to adapt and develop my training programs to adjust for the extreme changes in weather. It is forecast to be 115 degrees on Thursday!

When I lived in Seattle, it had it’s own weather challenges, considering it rains about 9 months out of the year. I found all kinds of innovative locations to do lessons. One place was a park and ride under a tall highway bridge. The bridge gave us just enough space and cover to train even if it was pouring outside. 

One thing I know, putting off training just because of the weather isn’t always a good option. There are ways around most problems, and that allows me to do private lessons year round. 

Something to consider.

Plan accordingly.
