Are you ready to step up for your dog with confidence? In this episode, I’m sharing why having a plan is the number one thing you need to help your dog feel safe and secure. The best part? Your plan doesn’t have to be perfect—it just needs to include what you want your dog to do and how you’ll guide them to success.
I’ll dive into tools and techniques that can make a big difference, like my personal example of door etiquette when repair people visit. These small strategies can create massive shifts in how your DOG sees you handling challenging situations.
✨ I’m also thrilled to introduce something NEW: my Leadership Coaching Calls! 🎉 These one-on-one sessions are designed to help you uncover your unique leadership style, build a plan tailored to your dog, and step into 2025 with clarity and confidence.

Want to Build a Beautiful Bond with Your Dog but Don’t Have the Time?
Do you ever feel like a busy schedule makes it impossible to work on your relationship with your dog?
Sally asked a great question in the Living Beyond Obedience Facebook group about how to build a strong bond when working 12-hour days.
In this episode, I’m diving into how relationships with our dogs are not just built through training, but in the tiny moments of influence throughout the day.
Even when time is tight, every moment is an opportunity to strengthen your connection with your dog. It’s all about those small, everyday interactions that add up over time and create a beautiful, lasting bond. I hope this message gives you inspiration and hope in our busy lives!

Hey Dog Lover!
I’m super excited to share the mic with my daughter Paisley for this episode!
We’re diving into a big question sparking debate in the dog training world: Why are dogs so timid these days?
Paisley takes us back to simpler times, sharing what it was like growing up with dogs and how attitudes toward them have changed over the years.
And, we explore the finger-pointing and blame game happening in dog trainer forums—bad breeders, the "rescue all" mentality, and, of course, YOU, the dog lover.
But here’s the thing: I believe the real issue runs deeper. From polarized trainer advice to owners feeling lost and overwhelmed, we unpack how today’s dog training culture may be creating more confusion than solutions.
🎧 Join us for a candid, heartfelt conversation about what’s really going on—and how we can all do better for our dogs.

Hey Dog Lover! 🐾
Have you ever wondered what your dog is really saying? Dogs are always having tiny conversations—with us, with other dogs, and even with the world around them. But here’s the catch: knowing when to butt in and when to butt out is key. 🐶💬
In this episode, we dive into the art of listening to canine conversations and how understanding these subtle cues can make a BIG impact.
Did you know that while dogs don’t hold grudges, they do remember unfinished business?
Taking the time to BE quiet, observe, and say "How interesting!" can transform your relationship with your dog. It reduces the chances of "toothy disagreements" 🦷 and deepens the bond between you and your dog as an intentional, observant leader. 🌟
So if you have multiple dogs or even if your dog plays with other dogs and you’ve ever wondered, "Is this too much? Should I step in?"—this episode is for you! Grab your favourite beverage ☕, and let’s get into it.
