Our Movement Tips: Safety Tips for Solo Movers & Plan Your Wildlife Encounters
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Be Patient with New Movement Buddies.
Abbie the Black Lab joined the FitLab team around 1 month ago. There has been a bit of frustration during the first month of walks because Abbie is not an experienced trail dog. But with time, patience, and practice, Abbie is adapting to our movement routine. Whether your movement team members are human or canine, be patient during the learning curve.
Move more. Move often. Be patient with new team members.
FitLabDeepCreek promotes #movementisalifestyle with weekly movement tips & a Labrador Lesson. This week the Labs say “Please Don’t Sneak Up On Us”
Our Movement Tips: Don’t Be Afraid To Rest & “Climb Away From The Crowds“
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Please, Don’t Sneak Up on Us.
The Labs know their human staff tries hard to be aware of their surroundings during trail hikes. Occasionally, the Labs distract the humans by eating inappropriate items on the trail (sticks, acorns, etc…). For that reason, the Labs would like to remind all trail users to give notice when passing others from behind. “Sneaking” up on people might scare them off the trail!
Move more. Move often. Give notice when approaching other trail users from behind. Do your part to help all trail users enjoy their experience.

Our Movement Tips: Consistency is the Key & Use Movement for Stress Management
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Make Time for Fun.
The Labs know humans have responsibilities other than caring for their dogs…they don’t UNDERSTAND…but they KNOW. They also know that, as Labradors, they are responsible for reminding the humans to make time for fun. Even on busy days, they encourage us to get outside for a walk in the woods.
Move more. Move often. Get outside. Make time for fun.
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Be Aware of Your Surroundings.
As we’re training Abbie the Black Lab to be a responsible trail dog, we are especially conscious of our surroundings on the trails. We stay alert for other trail users (human and animal). When possible, we step off the trail to allow other users to pass…because not everyone wants a close encounter with an energetic lab.
Move more. Move often. Be willing to yield. Share the trail.
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Meet Abbie.
We weren’t expecting to add a member to the FitLab team so soon after losing Maggie the Black Lab. But when Puddin’s breeder (Newlander Labradors) let us know Puddin’s grand-niece was available, we couldn’t resist! Abbie is an 11 month old black Labrador, and she seems excited to join the FitLab Deep Creek team. So please help us welcome Abigail, aka Abbie, and look for her words of wisdom in future Labrador Lessons.
Move more. Move often. Move with friends, old and new.
FitDeepCreek promotes #movementisalifestyle with weekly movement tips & a Labrador Lesson. This week Pudding say Enjoy Your Movement
Our Movement Tips: Celebrate Your Opportunities & Grieving, but Still Moving
LabLessons from FitLab Deep Creek:
Enjoy Your Movement.
Puddin is still not accustomed to being an only dog, especially on her walks, but we make sure she gets to go outside and enjoy her movement. If you want to make movement part of your lifestyle, it helps to enjoy your movement activities. Puddin not only loved the scents on her Sniffy Sunday walk, she also made use of the video break to roll around. We’re doing our best to keep her entertained until we find her the right furry friend.
Move more. Move often. Even when you’re sad, try to enjoy your movement.
