Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

Have you ever wondered what your dog is really saying? Dogs are always having tiny conversations—with us, with other dogs, and even with the world around them. But here’s the catch: knowing when to butt in and when to butt out is key. 🐶💬

In this episode, we dive into the art of listening to canine conversations and how understanding these subtle cues can make a BIG impact.

Did you know that while dogs don’t hold grudges, they do remember unfinished business?

Taking the time to BE quiet, observe, and say "How interesting!" can transform your relationship with your dog. It reduces the chances of "toothy disagreements" 🦷 and deepens the bond between you and your dog as an intentional, observant leader. 🌟

So if you have multiple dogs or even if your dog plays with other dogs and you’ve ever wondered, "Is this too much? Should I step in?"—this episode is for you! Grab your favourite beverage ☕, and let’s get into it.

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

Do you ever wonder why it feels like more and more dogs are reactive lately? 🤔

Or maybe you’re dealing with reactivity yourself and wondering if there’s something you missed along the way.

In this episode, I’m diving into real questions from reactive dog forums, where we explore why reactivity seems so common—especially in homes with multiple dogs.

I’ll share two key insights: what it means for your dog’s behaviour if you have other dogs in the house, and whether the big changes during COVID might actually be affecting our dogs more than we realize.

Do you think the pandemic played a role in anti-social behaviour?

Let’s break it down and uncover what might really be going on.

Grab your favourite treat for you and your dog, and let’s dig into it together!

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

Leadership... It's a dirty word in the dog training industry, but in this episode, I'm breaking down the real meaning of leadership and why it’s absolutely essential for you and your dog. 🐕

I’m sharing my own story of facing pushback—and even bullying—in the dog training community over the word "leadership."

Many trainers have it all wrong, equating leadership with outdated, force-based methods that do more harm than good. ❌

But true leadership? It’s about guiding with confidence, trust, and consistency—not control. 🐾💖 And guess what? YOU (not dog training influencers) get to decide your leadership style and qualities of a good Leader.

Join me as we redefine what leadership means for dog guardians and why it’s the key to a balanced, happy relationship with your dog. 🐕🐾

We’ll also go through an exercise to help you claim your unique leadership style by creating a personal value list. 📋 I’ll share my own values and style to inspire you to show up as the calm, confident guide your dog needs. ❤️
