Enjoy the 16th episode of our podcast series with UnCruise Adventures as we enjoy the seventh day of cruising and adventure on their Small Ship, the Wilderness Discoverer.

This series of short episodes includes interviews with assorted guests and crew who volunteered to share their stories. We enjoyed interviewing Ike, the Lead Steward on the Wilderness Discoverer. We were gifted with insider insights on Ike’s journey from Mailman to Lead Steward and some behind-the-scenes tidbits about what to take to ensure exceptional customer experiences.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM DAY SEVEN

We completed our Glacier Bay National Park tour and experienced Lamplugh Glacier, Neka Bay, Takatz, and the Robert and Crow Islands. We were gifted with numerous sightings of humpback whales, Otters, Sea Lions, and Eagles. We embarked on Bushwacking adventures and enjoyed a magical sunset.

Overnight, we traveled into Holkham Bay and through Tracey Arm. On the morning of Day 7, we were gifted with a view and exploration of South Sawyer Glacier via the skiffs. Then, overnight, we headed back to Juneau.

Meet our special guest, Laura De La Cruz. Laura resides in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She brings a wealth of experience from her small ranch, where she trains dogs in various activities, including herding, obedience, and scent work.

In this episode, Laura shares invaluable insights on choosing the right dog for your hiking and home life. She emphasizes the importance of considering living space, family dynamics, and energy levels. She also offers practical tips for hiking with dogs, such as keeping them on a leash to avoid rattlesnakes, carrying water and treats, and ensuring their safety and cleanliness on the trails.

Howard and Laura explore the world of herding, discussing the training techniques, the role of owners, and the significance of positive reinforcement. Laura's coaching philosophy focuses on balanced training, avoiding harsh corrections, and fostering a trusting relationship between owners and their pets.
