This means you\u2019ll have plenty to do if you\u2019re sheltering in place due to weather or pandemic restrictions and looking for something to brighten the dark days of winter or if you\u2019re able to partially or fully access the great outdoors and want activities to engage with your dog and explore your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of 4 weeks you\u2019ll both have acquired skills and knowledge that will increase your dog\u2019s confidence, deepen your relationship, develop your communication skills and add a multitude of positive experiences to enhance your dog\u2019s quality of life to make this a month to remember in your journey together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also have progressed along the checklists for the merit badges highlighted during the event and be ready to take your videos and answer the questions to submit if your dog is already a Dog Scout or save for future submission once your dog has earned the Dog Scout title.&nbsp; PLUS your dog will have acquired proficiency in skills that can be applied towards a number of other badge requirements, and improved his reliability in everyday life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Race\/MI\/SaintHelen\/winterofwags2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FIND OUT MORE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you ready for fun-filled learning and bonding opportunities that will make this a winter filled with smiles and wags?
