Hey Dog Lover 🐾

Have you ever looked at your dog mid-chaos and thought, “He should know better by now”?

You're not alone. That thought creeps in when you're tired, frustrated, or just not up for another round of treat-pouch training. But what if the real issue isn't your dog "knowing better"... it's that the kind of training you're doing doesn't feel sustainable—or satisfying?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden pressure behind traditional dog training and talking about what to do when you just don’t want to train anymore.
(And no, you’re not a bad dog person for feeling that way.)

You’ll learn:

• Why you’re not lazy (you’re just not a professional trainer—and that’s okay)

• The real reason traditional obedience doesn’t stick

• What to focus on instead: connection, trust, and a leadership style that fits your life

We’ll also reflect on your current relationship with your dog—and invite you to redefine it in a way that actually works for both of you.

If this conversation resonates, you’ll love what we’re doing inside the Fearless Framework—my online program and community that teaches you how to lead with trust, clarity, and calm.
It’s not about obedience. It’s about becoming someone your dog wants to follow.

Hope you enjoy,
—Tracy 🐾
