This episode is all about the similarities between my issues with food and dog training. I've always struggled with food and trying to figure out what kind of food/meals/snacks are right for me - which foods I should add to my "bad food" list. I'm always hopeful that by sharing things like this, you'll be able to relate and look at things with a new perspective.

This morning I had an A-HA moment when talking with my nutritionist.  I've been struggling a bit when it comes to food stuff, and I feel like it is all so relatable to dog training.  We all have our off days, but what about those moments that feel like a set back?  The reactive walk after weeks of so much progress?

Is it truly a setback?  Or something else?

In this episode I talk about food and how it all comes back to you amazing owners trying to do all the things, ALL the time.

I hope it's the reminder you needed to hear today.  We're in this together!
