Welcome to Episode One of the Dogs of Our Lives Podcast with me, your host, Chrissy Messick.

The Dogs of Our Lives podcast is all about living, learning, and growing with dogs.

In this episode, I will talk to you about my personal journey as a dog owner, and trainer, how the dogs in my life made me a better parent and how my childhood influenced the person I am today.

In future episodes of the Dogs of Our Lives podcast, I will invite guests to talk about their personal experiences of owning dogs and to have real and vulnerable conversations.

It's only fair that I do the same in this episode.

I will discuss my family and childhood trauma, my career in sports medicine and how my two boxer pups changed the entire trajectory of my life. I hope this episode will inspire you to talk about your life influences and to think about how your own experiences impact your personal growth and development.
