A healthy relationship has to be the priority! Everything else builds on that foundation. If you’re having difficulty, come right back to looking at where the relationship is.

Who Rescued Who?
As many have, I grew up loving animals. I did anything I could to be out with the horses at my Aunt’s home, running with the dogs or even climbing tree’s. My spirit was strong and every part of life was joy. As I grew, I started to learn some of the more difficult facts of our reality. I started to accept life “as is” and my thoughts in my own mind were limiting. I also lacked confidence, I tried to follow others and was easily swayed to go against my gut.
When I say dogs changed my life, I mean this in every way. Over the years, my husband and I have fostered quite a few dogs through a local rescue. During these years, we have reached out to learn all we can in providing the animals in our care balance. Nothing mattered, though, as much as how we learned that our own balance strongly impacted them. Recognizing this has changed everything in my life. I found areas where I was weak and learned how to address them, to grow and to be stronger. I listen to my gut, I focus on being grateful each and every day, and I am mindful of my thoughts. I’ve taken on challenges and done things that are very scary - including my first solo trip, meeting people I never thought I would meet and leaving my field of work that I had been in for over 20 years to pursue a passion. With every step, I feel this change and I see the difference in my interaction with these incredible animals.
When I meet with clients and their dogs, we sit down and talk over their concerns. I take time to understand their daily routine and what is possible for them to help address the behaviors seen in their best companion. I know what it’s like to juggle a busy life, incorporate change, find what works and accept the life-flow of things. I understand. I also see the dog. I take time to understand their individual needs, drives, personality and what is underlying the behaviors at hand. Taking this time - along with incorporating education, experience and instinct - has allowed me to mend relationships between people and their dogs. Building that foundation that allows them to move forward and grow, together.
