Hey Dog Lover!

Ever wonder what it takes to be happy? Happiness can seem elusive—even for us humans! But when I talk to fellow dog lovers dealing with fearful or reactive dogs, I often ask them, “What’s the number one thing you want for your dog?” The answer is almost always the same: “I just want my dog to be happy.”

So what truly makes a dog happy?

Spoiler: It’s not their favourite treat or toy!

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it really takes to create a confident, joyful dog.


I’ll be sharing 3 key strategies that will help you build a stronger bond with your dog, boosting their confidence and trust along the way.

You’ll learn:

  • Why leadership matters for a happy dog (and it’s not about control).
  • How giving your dog the right kind of freedom can be a game-changer for their confidence.
  • The secret to reinforcing positive behaviours that help your dog feel more secure.
  • These strategies will unlock the secret to a happier, healthier dog—no commands required! If you’ve been longing to see your dog live their best life, this episode is for you.
