🏠 “Wish I could just move in with you?”

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

​

I've lost count of how many times a student has told me how much they wish I could just live at their house for a while.

In the moment, in the day to day interactions with your dog, that's actually where the magic happens - It isn't out on the street working on the reactivity. The foundation to succeed is done at home, 30 seconds at a time in amongst your regular daily activities.

“Don’t I need an in-person trainer? Aren’t online programs a waste of time?”

Here’s the truth: in-person training can be great. I love my in-person students, and for some people that is definitely the way to go. But it usually works like this—you get a big chunk of info during your lesson, a long list of homework, and then you’re left on your own until the next appointment.

Overwhelm, confusion, and anxiety set in and you get stuck.. The things we did together during our session just don't seem to work anymore.

​

My 8-Week Leash Reactivity Deep Dive works differently.
✔️ You get daily one-on-one feedback on your videos and questions.
✔️ Your plan is adjusted in real time, so you’re never left spinning your wheels.
✔️ The support is personalized to you and your dog—not a generic handout or one-size-fits-all advice.

Instead of trying to remember what you should do days or weeks later, you’ll know exactly what to do today, with the confidence that I’m right there guiding you.

✨ Enrollment is open now—but only until next week.

You don’t need more homework. You need more support—and that’s exactly what this program is built to give you.

Tethered Cord Syndrome This post is intended to help others who are choosing not to pursue surgery for TCS, and to help people who care about Jubilee understand my 'why'. Jubilee has struggled with lameness and GI issues her entire life. She’ll turn seven in January. After seeing a top neurologist, we now have a probable diagnosis of Tethered Cord Syndrome. I’ve decided not to pursue surgery. Without surgery, I know she is unlikely to see her eighth birthday. That’s really hard. It sucks....

Engaged training Resilience * Emotional Regulation * Self Control I've seen a few posts going around lately advocating for use of tools that use pain or fear to apply stress to a dog to help them learn. The trainers promote the idea of a false dichotomy - either you bubble wrap your dog and never progress.. stuck in ineffective training, OR you use e-collars, prong collars, and other tools to either apply stress or to suppress behaviours when a dog is put into stressful situations.. Stress...
