My Soul Dog

We can apply this method to pretty much any goal in our life.  Dog training does not need to be time consuming or difficult to be effective.  Here is how you can manage your time and STILL reach your goals!  Be proud of yourself for moving the needle.  

Did you know there are 2 fear periods for your pup!  Just when you think doing a puppy class will cure all things with your puppy, THINK AGAIN!  Your pup can succumb to fear if the second fear period is ignored.  Listen now how you can avoid the pitfalls many dog owners fall into after getting a puppy.  

It never started out that way.  I didn't choose him.  I didn't pick him.  It happened over time.  In this episode, I discuss Bam, my soul dog.   I never thought this former fighting dog would become the dog which every dog will be measured.  Never did I think I would love him so much I would want to throw punch a guy.  I never planned for Bam to be my soul dog.  It happened over time.  It happened without me even knowing it was happening.  I think that is how soul dogs are made.  You don't see them coming, but they swoop in and steal your heart and leave a cut so deep, you will never forget them.  Do you have a soul dog? 

I'm coming up! I want the world to know!  Hahahahaha, my first podcast!!!  A place where we can talk about dogs and dogs and more dog stuff.  It is so nice to meet you! Sit right there and enjoy this story on how I became a dog trainer.  The line is not linear!  Not at all! I never would have guessed I would be where I am now.  Do you feel the same about your journey?   

What goes into naming a new pup?  Do you talk about it with friends? Get opinions? Do you feel you should change your pup's name even if they have lived with it for 3 years with their prior family? Are there names that are a "hard pass"? 

I reveal my puppy's name in this episode!  It is one I have never heard in any class I have taught before! I will also tell you where it's from and I am not ashamed to admit it!
