Wholehearted Canine

Happy Leap Day! Today marks four years since saying goodbye to my sweet Bristol, my first baby. She is why I have a passion for helping dogs. In honor of her, please spread the word or take this to heart with your own dog, don’t be afraid to take a leap! Dream big for your dog and go for it! Plenty of people have goals for their dogs they would love to achieve but think are unattainable. You just need the right guide to get there. Behavior change is possible and improving quality of life is possible and achievable. When I first adopted Bristol, I never could’ve imagined how far she’d come and how much progress she’d make and she’s why I continue to advocate for that for other dogs today to improve their lives. I love you Bristol! Take the leap! You won’t regret it. #TakeTheLeap #BristolPup #Wholehearted #TrainingTransformation #Bristol #PositiveDogTraining #ItIsPossible #UntappedPotential #Possibilities #LeapDay #DogTraining
