The kids wanted a dog. Tale as old as time, right? And they literally begged you for one for years... And one magical day, the dog of their dreams FINALLY appeared. So now they're dog owners!!

But…. where are they?

They're with their friends.

They're at sports practice.

Where they're NOT is home with their dog.

But you are. You and your loyal canine companion…..that your KIDS wanted….. 😬

I'm sure you've heard that saga before. (Maybe you're there right now!)

But help is on the way! Because if you've been looking for ways to get your kids involved in dog training, look no more. 🙌

In this episode, Sarah and I share tips and tricks to make dog training fun and engaging for both your kids and the dog. 🐶

Spoiler alert - these tips are for all ages, from toddler to high school!

And, as a dog trainer, I know I'm biased, but I gotta say, if you notice your kids have a passion for dogs, please encourage them to follow it! It's how *I* got started! Being a dog trainer is so very rewarding. 🥰 For us, it's a family thing.

OK, let's get to it!
