This Earth Day, Iām reminded that sustainability isnāt just about the planet ā itās about how we show up for our dogs, our communities, and the spaces we all share.
The small choices I make in my work and daily routines are starting to feel like something bigger. Iāve started using , a local farm delivery service, which has connected me more deeply to the food I eat, the people growing it, and the impact those choices have on our environment. I pick up trash on dog walks ā not because itās my job, but because our dogs deserve to explore a cleaner, safer world. And Iām choosing to avoid dog treats, food, and gear that are harmful to their health or the planetās. Cheap plastic toys, unnecessary packaging, low-quality filler ingredients ā it all adds up.
This work is about more than training. Itās about helping people raise dogs with intention ā and that means thinking about what we consume, how we walk through the world, and how our choices affect those who canāt speak for themselves. Supporting local farms, buying responsibly, and keeping our trails and sidewalks clean isnāt just good for the planet ā itās an extension of how we care for our dogs.
If this speaks to you, Iād love to start sharing more about how we can train, live, and care in ways that do less harm and give more back. Because Earth Day shouldnāt be once a year ā and raising a dog with respect should include the ground they walk on.
