If I change one thing about dog owners, it would not be that their dog is suddenly perfect, or that they work with their dog’s everyday. But they simply have patience for their dogs, grace for themselves, and clarity to guide them. 💜

I think so many people are putting so much pressure, guilt, and regret for their dog’s behavior, or issues on themselves. It allows fear and frustration to influence your relationship with your dog, and that is never a good place to start.

Do yourself a favor and let yourself off the hook.

You deserve grace too.

One of the most versatile behaviors you can teach your dog is a mat behavior: whether you are trying to keep them calm and focused at the vet or trying to keep them from begging at meal time. Our training can teach your dog the value in being where you want them to be, not guessing where they shouldn’t be.
