Our Monthly Focus
Each month, we intentionally feature one guardian-centered experience and one learning workshop.
This allows us to move slowly, go deeper, and create spaces that feel supportive rather than overwhelming for both guardians and their companions.
Additional community rhythms, walks, and gatherings are shared directly with our connected guardians.
The Year of the Guardian
2026 at Woof Houze is dedicated to the guardian–dog relationship.
Not fixing dogs.
Not rushing progress.
Not performing for results.
Instead, we’re creating real-life experiences that support rhythm, safety, and understanding — so connection can grow naturally.
Every event on this page exists to support guardians first.
January at Woof Houze
January is often referred to as National Train Your Dog Month.
At Woof Houze, we’re choosing a different focus.
January is National Connect With Your Dog Month.
This means less instruction and more observation.
Less pressure and more presence.
Less control — more connection.
Our January events are designed to help guardians reconnect with who their dog already is.
Featured Guardian Experience
Year of the Guardian: Vision Night
Saturday, January 17th | 4:00–7:00 PM | $75.00
This is not a training class.
This is a guided, guardian-centered experience.
Year of the Guardian: Vision Night is an intentional evening designed to help guardians slow down, reflect, and reconnectwith themselves and with their dogs.
For too long, dog care has centered fixing, performance, and pressure. This experience invites you to step away from comparison and timelines and intentionally define what connection looks like for you and your dog—on your terms.
During this calm, thoughtfully facilitated gathering, guardians will:
Participate in guided reflection led by Woof Houze
Create a personal vision board centered on connection, daily rhythm, emotional safety, and relationship goals
Be supported in a dog-inclusive environment where dogs may settle, explore, or engage in light, regulated play without expectation
Dogs are welcome to attend alongside their guardians and will be supported by Woof Houze staff to maintain a safe, regulated environment for all participants.
This experience is especially supportive for:
Guardians of dogs with big feelings
New guardians feeling overwhelmed
Longtime guardians seeking reconnection
Anyone ready to release pressure and return to presence
All materials are provided. Space is intentionally limited to maintain calm, safety, and meaningful connection.
You don’t owe anyone progress.
You owe your dog presence.
⭕️ Guardian Circle
Sunday, January 18th, 2026 | 9:00 – 10:00 AM | FREE
💻 Virtual on Zoom
January Theme: Year of the Guardian
Guardian Circle is a monthly, in-person gathering for dog guardians who want more than quick fixes, rigid rules, or performance-based expectations.
January can be loud. The world rushes to tell you what your dog should be doing by now. Guardian Circle exists to slow that noise and bring you back to what actually matters safety, rhythm, and relationship.
This January, we’re beginning The Year of the Guardian by returning to rhythm.
No resolutions.
No timelines.
No pressure to “fix” anything.
Instead, we’ll focus on grounding back into daily patterns that support your dog’s nervous system and your own. Through guided conversation, reflection, and shared experience, you’ll learn how rhythm not force creates the foundation for trust, learning, and long-term emotional safety.
Guardian Circle is not a training class.
It’s a space for guardians to feel seen, supported, and steady especially when the outside world feels demanding.
What to Expect
• A calm, judgment-free environment
• Guardian-centered discussion and reflection
• Nervous-system-informed guidance
• Connection with others navigating life with dogs who have big feelings
This Space Is For You If:
• You feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice
• You’re tired of being told to rush your dog’s progress
• You want to lead with connection, not control
• You believe guardianship is a relationship, not a checklist
We begin where we are.
We return to rhythm.
This is the year of the guardian.
The Guardian Circle is a women-only, virtual gathering designed to create space for reflection, honesty, and restoration.
Here, guardians are invited to pause, breathe, and share in a circle of support free from judgment and performance.
This is not about training or fixing. It’s about community, clarity, and connection. A reminder that you are not walking this path alone.
Guardian Learning Workshop
The R.E.S.T.™ Method: How Your Presence Shapes Your Dog’s Behavior
Guardian-only learning experience (dogs do not attend).
Most dogs aren’t struggling because they “don’t know what to do.”
They’re struggling because the environment around them is asking too much, too fast.
The R.E.S.T.™ Method is a guardian rhythm principle that focuses on how you show up so your dog’s nervous system can settle before behavior is ever asked for.
This is not a training class.
There are no cues, corrections, or techniques to practice on your dog.
Instead, this workshop teaches guardians how everyday habits how we move, speak, pause, and hold the leash either increase pressure or create safety.
In this workshop, guardians will learn how R.E.S.T.™ applies to:
Walking on leash without constant talking or correction
Navigating reactions without escalating the moment
Using body position instead of verbal instruction
Slowing transitions so dogs can process
Reducing unintentional pressure created by urgency
Creating calmer walks, calmer exits, and calmer returns home
R.E.S.T.™ stands for:
R — Reduce words
Talking more doesn’t mean communicating better. Guardians learn when silence supports clarity and regulation.
E — Engage through movement
Movement organizes the nervous system more effectively than instruction. Guardians learn how their pace and positioning matter.
S — Slow your timing
Many dogs are asked to respond faster than their nervous system can handle. Guardians learn how slowing down changes everything.
T — Tune into rhythm
Dogs don’t need more direction they need to be met where they are. Guardians learn how to recognize and respect rhythm instead of overriding it.
This workshop is designed to shift how guardians see behavior, not just how they respond to it.
Dogs do not attend this workshop.
This is intentional so guardians can focus fully on learning, reflection, and application.
This experience is part of our Year of the Guardian commitment.
