    On forever homes for sled dogs and why putting on hold our re-homing activity

    A topic that I have been pondering for quite a while, and that I wanted to cover if I only could find the right words. Talking about a sensitive subject, that can stir up controversial issues, is always delicate. But let’s be fair, keeping my mouth shut would certainly be the only way to go about it if I really want to play it safe. However, being a people-pleaser or keeping a low profile has never make anything change. I believe that people who follow us and our activities as The Striders Adventures, as well as the public in general, deserve to be informed and get the full picture.

    We got involved in finding new homes for sled dogs, both old and young, during the Covid pandemic. It has meaning then. Many kennels were going through a difficult time, and so many dogs had to find new homes. But now, as I write this, it’s an entire new story.

    Before I get ahead, I want to stress that my intent is not to point the finger at anyone or to tell the good from the bad. I am casting a light on a long-existing situation and questioning my position, and the role played by our Association.

    Deep Dive into Self-Love & Our True Identity

    What makes us who we are? What is our persona? What is our true Identity? What about self-love?

    How to experience true Unconditional love for ourselves and others? What if we CAN’T stand the identity or persona that we are incarnating?

    Over the past year, I took a deep dive into these concepts that were so foreign and a big question mark for me.

    Working with the Trust Technique®

    How it is helping us with our pack of 11 adopted huskies

    I got interested in the Trust Technique last winter. The work we had been doing for one year with our adopted sled dogs was paying off. They had already changed so much. Yet, some of them were showing remains of some more serious traumas and fears, as well as some deep rooted conditioning.

    I found the tool that was complementing perfectly my approach to animals. ®

    Dos & Don'ts - Back to Basics!

    6 things to know and do with your dog(s)!

    Today a short post that I wrote from observing some people and their animals, especially with their dogs.

    We kind of take dogs for granted as so many of us have one or know someone who does, it’s so common, and there’s so many theories, information and other books available. Yet, I think that sometimes we forget some essentials!

    Solve YOUR ANIMAL behaviour issues by changing YOU

    Our animals, mirrors of beliefs system & personal issues

    Our animals don’t come by chance in our lives.

    They enter our lives to help us learn, grow and/or heal something. And we help them the same way in return. Have you ever noticed how animals and their person often look alike, in character traits, even physically? Sometimes it is quite challenging, and some relationships with a pet or animal friend can take us out of our comfort zone before becoming smooth sailing.

    Find out how you can solve behaviour issues and improve tremendously your relationship with your pet!

    Being in the flow to heal your animals

    How meditating in presence of your animal can help them heal

    Did you know that by spending time in a meditative state with your animal by your side, can actually help them heal from various conditions?

    I work on a daily basis with horses and adopted sled dogs, as well as my own pet dogs and cat. And I can’t count the number of times I get into that state daily when working with them. I actually think that the days I don’t are my “chaotic days” when everything seems to spin out of control!

    Quint, or Fear of Thunder & Eye Infection ...gone!

    Here's the story of Quint, a Siberian-Alaskan husky born in 2015, and former sled dog re-homed due to epilepsy episodes and high stress when running.

    I adopted him in November 2020, 6 months after adopting his brother Bobby. He was suffering from separation anxiety and hated being fenced and left alone. He was also extremely scared of thunder and shooting sounds, to the point of destroying everything around him. Also he had an eye infection since the trip back from Finland to Switzerland that wasn’t healing.

    I started working with him with animal communication and energy healing sessions on his fears and specific issues. The results were ok, but not consistent. So I decided to work on his entire history. It changed everything! >>Read the whole story>>

    5 months as a volunteer in a husky kennel in Finland - feedback and... what's next?

    Version française

    A life-changing experience at Bear Hill Husky 

    Update and feedback on my 5 months of volunteering at Bear Hill Husky - one of my dearest and richest life experiences so far:

    Working as a puppy trainer, getting involved in the rehoming dogs program, discovering the world of mushing, taking part in a first race as a musher, the adoption of 6 more dogs and the decision to devote my non-profit organisation to rehoming and finding new homes for retired sled dogs.... Indeed the past 5 months have been rich and intense!

    Huskies during pandemic!

    **** Sensitive Topic ****

    What about huskies in time of Covid?

    So you’ve all seen me post pictures of my life here in this amazing country with these beautiful, lovely dogs and dream landscape.
    Indeed, Finland, and for me especially Lapland, is a paradise on Earth. I feel so good and uplifted here, in nature, spending days outside, with the dogs.

    Yet the current reality is way darker. Husky kennels, and especially the dogs, are the first to pay the costs from the absence of tourism.

    That's why I came up with an idea.... Read more!
