Here's our next Trainers Behind The Scenes Question: "What is something you used to think you had to 'fix' about your dog, but now accept?" Trainers, feel free to put your answers in the comments below. Owners, feel free to ask a question you would like us to include in the future!

Trainers Behind the Scenes was developed to address the idea that, “Oh you’re a trainer! Your dogs must be so perfect!” The truth of the matter is: being a trainer doesn’t mean your dogs are always on their best behavior, or that you are always able to give 100% as a dog owner! These single question posts invite dog trainers to share the reality of what life is like with their pups, both to ease the burden of aiming for "perfection" in front of your clients, and also to help pet owners see that your trainer has been in your shoes!

Join me in wishing Cashew a very happy 1st birthday!!🎂🎉

He is such a fun, enthusiastic, and happy pup! He is a lover of all things comfort (if you couldn’t tell by the photos😄) and is always down to train and play. He’s a social butterfly after a quick warm up period, is highly intelligent, and overall turning into such a great pup!💕
