September 26 Character Matters
Your character matters. If you have poor character in one area… You're a liar? Don't take responsibility for your actions? Mistreat others? I'd put money on the fact that you lack character in many areas. Which will call into question everything I might know about you - as it should. Celebrate those out there who recognize that character is important - and speak out appropriately.

August 01 The Advice Nobody Can Absorb
If you want to be impactful as a dog trainer, or even as an engaged pet parent who hopes to influence how others live with their dogs, consider whether your solutions, suggestions, and advice are matched to what the learner can actually absorb and implement. The best advice in the world is not useful if the person receiving it cannot understand it, manage it, or realistically fit it into their life.

May 08 The Best Training Isn't On Social Media
If you judge quality training from social media, and then come to conclusions about training that differs from your own, you will always miss the mark. You'll lose the opportunity to become educated about what truly represents the best training out there.

March 20 Accepting Misunderstanding
Learn to let misunderstandings stand - once you know someone is listening to misunderstand, you can comfortably move on.

Don't get pulled into stupid conversations. For all you know, you're arguing with a 15-year-old… or someone who is deeply unwell and incapable of doing better. Either way, those conversations never end well. Spend your energy elsewhere.

March 13 The Benefits of Management
Fearful dog? A little aggressive and forward? The vast majority of the time, you can manage the behavior and make everyone happy. Even better, often good management creates a situation where the dog feels safe and knows they will be left alone, and the problem behavior goes away. Don't make things worse by forcing it. Might work for a few months but… high risk with little payoff.
