Heritage Park
Are you aware of Heritage Park in the Indianola/Kingston area? Its a relatively new hiking and dog friendly park - hundreds of acres of trails. It can be accessed from Miller Bay Rd just north of the turn to Indianola or from the golf course area of Whitehorse. Cedar, Guinness and I go there frequently and we think its wonderful.


Pope and Talbot Land
Cedar and I have spent many happy hours hiking in this area ? you?ll find it off the Port Gamble road ? on the west side. See the map for parking areas. There is lots of room here for anyone to go hiking, horseback riding, biking? the trails are mostly forest access roads with some smaller trails. You can go for an hour or literally hike for miles?bring your lunch and water for the dog! Dogs can run loose but remember you are sharing the area with others ? your dog should be under voice control at all times.
(Click on the map at right to download a trail map and brochure)

To develop beautiful, well-maintained spaces open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the dog parks' rules and restrictions. To view these parks as community projects, in partnership with Kitsap County, designed to satisfy the needs of dog-owners and non-dog owners alike.

Shades Dog Training

Kingston, Washington, 360-297-6362, kshadew@yahoo.com
Training Philosophy: Clear Leadership plus Postive Motivation Equals Reliable Obedience.
I strive to learn and implement POSITIVE ways of teaching, to be fair to our dogs, to base their learning on the relationship between us, and to use whatever treat, toy or tug that motivates your individual dog. This is my passion and life?s work. I look at all the traditional ways we train our dogs and much involves techniques I would consider to be unfair. I respect the dog as a thinking partner in the learning process. Sure, you can train a dog with an electric collar, but why would you want to? I would rather use the dog?s natural prey drive and channel the cat chasing into something I control, like a ball or tug. With my training, I teach you where the dog is coming from. Hopefully, you will emerge out of the experience with a better understanding of why your dog does what he does, and with a fair and giving relationship with your dog. And best of all, its fun!
Shade has classes beginning soon--call for dates.
