Thank Dog It's Friday

Tune in to see Courtney's approach to setting your dogs up for success when it comes to going back to work.

Let’s be real, COVID has been a nightmare for many of us. However, our dogs have really had all of their dreams granted. Like a genie came down and gave them 247 access to us and now we’re about to leave and break their hearts.

Don't get me wrong, some dogs may love that they get their alone time back. But others are going to hate it and might form separation anxiety because of it.

Let’s help them be happy with the change so that we all can adjust back to the new norm with little to no fear or anxiety.

New dog parents are popping up from everywhere because of this pandemic and I couldn't be happier. So many different types of dogs are getting a chance at an amazing life and that is one of the best silver linings of COVID-19 (if you ask me!)

Because of this influx of pandemic puppers, I wanted to give all the details possible on my online Experience for Dog Parents so you can decide if it's right for you.

Courtney Green is revolutionizing the way people raise their dogs with her ultimate BLUEPRINT that guides you through all the ins and outs of dog parenting. The Blueprint along with her course, coaching and community all make up an Experience that will leave you feeling like you've been doing this for years.

We're opening enrollment to our online Dog Parent Experience on May 4th and this will be our 16th class since opening in January of 2019. Each one gets better and better and with so much uncertainty right now, it's nice to join a community that fully has your back!

We're getting personal with this one. Take a real glimpse into my life on our farm in Los Angeles. We have 24+ pets ranging from dogs, chickens, pigs, rabbits, and guinea pigs as well. This one is a fun one!

I've been struggling with keeping steady energy for years. I tend to be passive, a people-pleaser, a workaholic, and someone who constantly puts too much on my plate. So as you can imagine, I often feel drained of all my physical and mental energy.

For years, I knew I needed to make a change, but honestly I put everyone else before myself so I pushed it off and didn't realize it's weight.

Then I hit severe burnout and it left me no choice but to start to do something new each day to protect my energy. That way I could better show up for myself, my animals, and my relationships.

That is when I realized that prioritizing everything but myself was my biggest energy drainer of all, because it messed with my head, self confidence, and pretty much everything else.

After struggling with protecting my mental energy for my entire adult life, I finally feel like I'm figuring out tangible tools and habits that work for me. Honestly, since dedicating the little energy I had left into this, I've felt more energized, excited and less anxious about each day.

So these are all of the habits I've adopted to add more energy to my life. They have been life changing for me, so I hope you see a shift as well.

You likely wont start all of them at once, but choose a few that speak to you and continue adding more habits so that you feel energized and full of life each day.

One of the common questions I get from dog parents has to do with knowing when your dog actually needs a visit to the vet or when it's something that can be treated or monitored at home.

It's really important for dog parents to be the first to recognize signs of sickness in their dog. So my recommendation to you is start getting in the habit of examining your dog regularly so you know the difference between a healthy dog and a sick dog. 

If you check your dog regularly it will be easy to tell when something is off. So today you're going to learn how to examine your dog like a pro so that you are the first to detect when your dog is feeling blue.

Are you ready to stop complaining and start living with intention?

I'm sure we can all agree 2020 is not starting out the way many of us were expecting. With all the chaos going on right now with the Corona Virus and pretty much everything else that is happening, I think it's best to look within to see what practices we're following to help keep us calm.

I talk a lot about being a calm and assertive pack leader for your dog and others around you, so this episode is giving you the necessary tools to show up in that way. If you're complaining your life away, something tells me you aren't much of a leader. Let's change that!

Most people spend 90% of their time on the problem and not the solution. Staying in that state is not only not productive, it also gives the issue time to intensify. Ignoring the problem just gives it time to magnify and grow into something harder to tackle.

If you just do the easy things in life and you procrastinate the hard stuff, then life becomes hard. But if you do the hard things, life becomes easy because you're building those muscles and mental fitness is just as important as mental intelligence. 

So it's really important that you protect your energy and be intentional with where it’s going. Intentionally put most of your energy towards the solution so that you can get out of your own way.

Re-homing dogs once you realize they're not a good fit is a real problem these days. So it's really important that you do the necessary work to make sure that the dog you're bringing in your home is the perfect fit for you, your household, and your life.

In this week's episode, I discuss exactly how to match the right dog for your lifestyle’s energy as a whole. We discuss the importance of not choosing a dog based on their breed, but instead choosing a dog whose energy matches yours.

I start with simple tips to get you started and then she dives deep into four important things to consider when matching the right dog for your life. These things to consider are environment, temperament and energy, dog breeds and their needs, quirks and health issues, and then we end it with talking about the dog’s age.

You’re in for a good one so tune in!
