🐾 The Weekly Woof – June 21-27, 2025
with Tommy Stark, the Dog Director of iSpeakDog



 Here’s your ✨ WEEKLY WOOF ✨ for Saturday, June 21st, 2025—your go-to coastal OC-style newsletter packed with tail-wagging updates, expert tips, and a little golden-hour magic 🌅🐾 




🐾 Pack Walk Alert – Mark Your Calendar!


📅 Saturday, June 28th @ 5PM
📍Laguna Niguel Regional Park
Join our community pack walk at golden hour! This one's a crowd fave—dogs, fresh air, and a bit of structured fun to wrap up your Saturday right.




 

🎯 TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK

Confidence comes from clarity—not coddling.


When your dog is anxious, especially with fireworks on the horizon 🎆, your job is to lead calmly, not comfort reactively. Use this time to walk your dog through sound desensitization or controlled play when distant fireworks start. Don't reward fear—redirect it.


🔥 Fourth of July tip: Start giving frozen marrow bones around dusk the week leading up to the 4th to help with sound conditioning. Crate your dog to create a safe retreat space. Don’t take your dog to fireworks events—ever. 


Don't forget to read the blog on fireworks under "Blogwoof"

 

📰  🐶 POSITIVE DOG NEWS


🐾 A new study from the University of Lincoln (UK) confirms: dogs respond more to visual social cues than verbal ones. That means your posture, tone, and movements carry more weight than commands alone. Remember: Move less, Talk less





Stay cool,
🐾 Tommy Stark

Scheduling Private Lessons

I do NOT book ahead of the current week

 I do my weekly schedule based on your locations/availability  - this reduces chances of getting into traffic delays between lessons plus maximizes the amount of dogs I can help on a daily basis.

Please give me more than one option when giving your availability if possible.  Makes organizing the calendar much easier.  You can also give priority times if you wish.

Sunday evening when I send out the events please confirm/accept the invite if you can.
 

Priority and Packages

 This does not apply to new clients New clients do NOT pay before lessons if we have not met


Clients with packages will be scheduled first. Those without packages will fill in open spots on a location basis. If there is no space in the calendar for the week, I will add you to a waiting list for last minute cancellations. 

Instructions

 •The cut off is (Sunday) at 6pm IF you would like to train this week and list a few dates and times that work for you. I will respond to you by Sunday at 8 PM with your confirmed day and time via Google Event.  Once you receive the “Google Event” email please hit “accept” so that I know you have received it.
        **Please allow for a potential delay of 10-15 mins arrival time based on traffic and lessons going longer - especially late in the day.
