Your Dog Doesn’t Need This Training ... Until He Does 30.10.2019

Becoming Mindful with Food and Social Media 31.05.2019

These past few weeks have been pretty damn amazing. I’ve had some time to really focus on what makes me happy and what doesn’t.

Business Advice w/ Joe (my dad) 17.05.2019

You’re in for a treat with this one!

Are you willing to suck before you are amazing at something? 11.04.2019

When I first started training dogs, I wanted instant success. I wanted to know ALL the answers and also have a 3 month waiting list. Yup. Right out the gate! Because, all successful people get that right away, right? Don’t be crazy! The more important question is (because this will happen with anything you want to be really good at) are you willing to suck before you are great?

Dogs, Wine and Everything Else 12.12.2018

I am really excited about this episode! Two of my very good friends (who started out as clients and we talk about that) came over for wine and cheese which led to a really good conversation.

I’ve been wanting to do an episode with them for a while now and I hope you en...

I Feel Pretty 19.09.2018

I’m exhausted, but I love it. 27.06.2018

There are moments that I want a break. A day where I don’t have to juggle everything, but... it’s worth it. All of it. The exhaustion at the end of the day. The feeling I get when the dog “gets it”. Its okay to feel tired, but I wouldn’t change a thing. That being said, I am taking a week off in September! Yay! ❤️
