Hey friend,

I just wanted to pop in for a minute...

This isn’t a regular episode.
It’s a quiet moment to talk about why I created the Calm Down, Dog! Bootcamp… and why it matters so much to me.

You see, most people come into this work thinking it’s their dog that needs to change.
The barking, the pulling, the spinning — all the chaos that makes your shoulders tense and your breath go shallow.
And I get it.
That’s what most training is built around: fixing the dog.

But what I’ve heard, over and over again, from the people who go through Bootcamp is this:

“The biggest change wasn’t in my dog… it was in me.”

And that’s the part that gives me goosebumps every single time.

Because this work isn’t about being the problem — it’s about realizing you’ve always had the power.
When you shift — even just a little — your energy changes.
Your dog feels safer.
The chaos starts to soften.

It’s not about better obedience.
It’s about showing up with clarity and calm.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You just need to uncover the leader your dog already believes you are.

So if you’ve been studying, trying all the methods, doing all the things… and you’re still feeling frustrated or disconnected, this is your reminder:
You’re not broken.
You and your dog are just learning to breathe together again.

That’s what this Bootcamp is really about — not control, but connection.
Not training harder, but trusting deeper.

And that’s why I hope you’ll join us.
