Earlier this week, I was working with my dog, Dot, on some advanced training. Overnight she went from having an awesome training session where I though we turned the corner on some things, to going in the complete opposite direction. One thing we can easily overlook as dog owners is, just like people, dogs have off days.
I love owning a high-energy dog – but I also have to work a full-time job! Although I love taking Barley out on exhausting hiking trips on the weekend, I can’t do that every day because of my work schedule!
My dog Barley is five and a half years old. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like he’s a bit slower on runs than he was when he was three and a half. Of course, he’s not exactly an old dog – I’m hoping he’ll have another eight or more years of happy, healthy life. But I want to keep him young and healthy for as long as possible.

In honor of October being National Pet Shelter Month, Terrain D.O.G. would like to share the story of Harley and Graham, two adventure enthusiasts from Victoria, B.C! Check out their sweet story below of how they went from strangers, to sharing an instant, inseparable bond.
In September of 2018, Chris had a mission. He wanted to rescue a dog, give him a home and train him to become his adventure companion. Chris came across a collie mix and they had an instant connection.
Here at Terrain D.O.G.®, we believe in relationships, adventure and companionship on the highest levels possible. We are dog people; we live our lives everyday with our best friends! We love hiking, kayaking, running, biking and we love bringing our sidekicks along for the ride.
