Be Present for Your Pets.
As Labradors, we’re happy anytime we get outside for a walk/run/hike…but we’ve noticed some humans don’t pay attention to their dogs when they’re in the park or on the trails. If you are more focused on your phone or your workout than your dogs, this message is for you. When you take us out for a movement session, that movement session is about our health and happiness. Stay alert. Be aware of dangers (things we can eat, wild animals, off-leash dogs, hot weather). Shorten our leashes, take breaks, or cut short the movement session as needed to keep us safe. Please. Thank you.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, you get more out of a movement session if you stay safe and healthy! And from what we can see, humans would get more benefit from moving if they turned off their devices and focused on being present.

This week the Labs remind us Human Treats Aren’t For Dogs
Our movement tips: #Frustration happens- just keep moving, #movement doesn’t need labels & movement doesn’t need to be cool
Labrador Lesson for 4/7/23;
Human treats aren’t for the dogs.
As Labradors, we will eat anything…whether or not it is likely to make us sick. We know that humans often have food-based gatherings of friends and family during the Spring (Ramadan, Passover, Easter, and more), so we want to remind you to keep an eye on your celebratory food. Dropped food isn’t the only risk, as some dogs are counter-surfers and others have feline friends to knock food off the counter for them. A trip to the emergency vet can ruin your holiday celebration (even if we fully recover).
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, enjoy your holiday celebrations, but make sure your 4-legged friends don’t get too close to harmful human treats.

Spring Safety Reminders.
As Labradors, we love to move outside year-round. We’ve noticed that in the Spring, we have more encounters with wildlife…and with other park/trail users. Here are our top 3 Spring Safety Reminders. 1. Beware of harmful wildlife (e.g., skunks 🦨 or porcupines). 2. Watch out for off-leash dogs…even if the owner promises the dog is friendly. 3. Resist the urge to approach/pet an unknown dog without the owner’s permission.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, Spring is a great season to #getoutside and get moving. When you do, take simple precautions today, so that you can keep moving tomorrow.

This week the Labs remind us to Play Safely
Our movement tips: #justmove throughout the day, find your #perfect place to move & #springishere visit your local #bikeshop
Labrador Lesson for 3/17/23;
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Play Safely.
As Labradors, we love to play. We don’t wait for holidays or special events. We celebrate little things in life, like climbing a big hill. And we make play part of our everyday lives. We won’t be drinking green beer (or any other beer) to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but we understand this is a holiday when humans like to get together for drinks with friends. If you’re one of those humans, we encourage you to play safely and responsibly.
Whether you have 2 legs or 4, make play part of your lifestyle…and when you do, please play safely today so that you can continue to move and play tomorrow.
