You’re not here by accident.
Someone you trust told you to come here — not because they could explain what happens,
but because they felt it, and knew you’d feel it too.
This is The Working Shiba.
But we don’t train dogs.
We don’t offer packages.
We don’t walk for exercise.
We walk for memory. For resonance. For rhythm.
If you’re already sensing that this isn’t like anything you’ve seen before…
you’re right.
It’s not.
But it’s not new either.
This is a memory older than language —
where animals don’t mourn with emotion,
they mourn with motion.
This is not a dog walking business.
This is a rhythm-based protocol for carrying the memory of the ones we lose —
without losing the pattern they gave us.
At The Working Shiba, walking isn’t about going somewhere — it’s about moving with.
We walk in rhythm with the dogs, with memory, with what’s still here.
This isn’t training. It’s realignment. It’s rhythm stewardship — listening through steps, responding through breath, letting the pace come from the dog’s own pulse.
This isn’t something we learn from words or technique.
It’s something you feel when a rhythm-holder quietly steps away, and the next one naturally picks up the pace.
We walk the paths once shared — not out of routine, but to keep those memories alive with every step.
Even when we can’t see or hear the one who’s gone, we stand where their rhythm once was, carrying that pulse with us.
Grief moves too.
It maps itself into the walk — in the pauses, the direction changes, the quiet insistence of presence. We’re not here to get over anything. We’re here to walk with it — to carry it in rhythm, mapping grief as inheritance. This is Rhythmic Ethology 🐾🌬️💓
Start with a breath.
We’ll walk when the field calls.
