Dog Mom Mentality

This week we are talking to Jess from @handlersandhumans! Jess is a licensed professional counselor who lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, her 8 year old pit mix Dio, and her cat named Bat. Animals and therapy are two of Jess's passions, and she has brought them together in many ways, such as getting certified in animal assisted therapy, by doing equine psychotherapy work, training her reactive dog to become a therapy dog, and now as a coach who supports dog owners struggling with the human side of their training journey. Dio is a reactive boy who has worked hard to earn his CGC and pass the therapy dog evaluations - but made it clear that therapy work wasn't a fit for him, so now he's a happy house dog, loving life and hanging out with his cat all day.

BONUS: Jess gave my listeners a discount for her Coping with Canines program! You can use code DOGMOM22 here!! This discount will be good until the end of 2022.

This week we are talking to Dee from @packofhobbits! Dee is 28 years old and lives in Maryland with her husband, Dylan, and their two pups, Loaf and Sunny. Loaf is 4 and Sunny is 8! If you follow Dee on @packofhobbits you know she is very candid, super supportive and extremely passionate about certain topics such as body image, mental health and sexuality. Dee describes herself as just a gal trying her best in a world that has been more than heavy these days. She finds the most joy in drinking coffee and making coffee content, watching all things spooky, mentally preparing for fall, and spending time at home with her dogs. She is a homebody with big dreams! I must add that she is also a great photographer and is a badass creative.

This week we are talking to Jillian from @thetravelingterriers! Jillian and her dogs Dobby and Max live at the jersey shore and love being outside. She says what makes them unique is that you wouldn't expect to see a girl and her two 12 pound terriers crushing mountains all year round! Dobby is 7 and Max is 4, and although they may look similar, they have very different personalities. Jillain works full time as an occupational therapist in a neuro rehab hospital and part time as a freelance photographer doing portrait, lifestyle, and product photography. When she is not working you can find her outdoors hiking, camping, riding, climbing and pretty much anything that includes nature. Jillian provides excellent insight on what it's like to adventure solo with your dogs and how to manage a reactive dog amongst others while hiking.

This week we are talking to Cosette from @going.super.nova! Cosette is a recent Masters student graduate and is finishing up her thesis at the University of South Carolina. Everyone say 'Congrats' to Cosette!! She lives with her boyfriend, Dylan, and their two dogs, Nova, a 1-year-old rescue German Shepherd mix, and Odin, an 11 month old Australian Shepherd. They also have two cats who are littermate brothers, Vladimir and Milo! Cosette came to me wanting to talk about dog parenting while being a student, and I thought it was a great topic because I know so many people who get a dog during college, me included!! She shares with us the lessons having a dog while going to school taught her, which includes maximizing her time.

This week we are talking to Christina from @its.jesse.and.tanner! Christina moved from New York to Colorado 4-ish years ago with her extremely reactive dog, Jesse. They met her partner, Jackson, shortly after moving here and they all now live in a small mountain town together with their second dog Tanner, a rescue who was returned to a local shelter 3 times before they took him home forever. I must add Tanner is a fan favorite at their local bar. Jesse is now 5.5 years old and Tanner is about to be 4. Christina is a registered nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Denver and her partner is a professional snowboarder and carpenter. Their family spends their days hiking, camping, snowboarding, training the dogs and Christina also loves to crochet and play piano!

We are back with a solo episode! This was originally recorded as an IG live, but I wanted it as a podcast as well. It’s a bit of a rant, but hope you enjoy. As always, I hope you get to play with your dog today, too!
