Chad Mackin’s Dogmanship Workshop not only exceeded my expectations, but gave me several A-HA moments, exciting new ideas to explore, and valuable validations of my own theories—leaving me both inspired and excited to mull over and practice what I learned!

I’m so grateful to for hosting and to for the invaluable education. Thank you!
It was incredible meeting both of you in person!

Also, a huge thank-you to Kevin from Kanine Freedom and Stacey from Old Town Canine for the good company and the thoughtful, passionate conversations throughout the weekend.

I will never forget 🤍

To the heroes who ran toward the fire when the world stood still.
To the workers who never came home.
To the lives cut short yet never forgotten.

To the hands that held each other through the smoke and the sorrow.

To the firefighters, police, medics, and all who carried the weight of that day you showed them what it means to be unbreakable.

To the dogs, loyal and tireless,
who searched through devotion and purity.

And to every soul lost,your light rose higher than the towers, carried on wings of remembrance.

Today we bow in silence, for courage that inspires, for the memory that keeps the world united.

We remember. Always. 🦋 🇺🇸
