It is impossible to fully express the amount of gratitude I hold for the ability to do the work I love most every day and how thankful I am for each and every one of my clients, but let me give it a go.
This year, my business brought in over $25k more than the previous year doing only 1-on-1 behavioral consulting. Solely operated by myself, completely on my own. I am at a loss for words. I couldn’t have done it without your unwavering support and trust in my work. Just….thank you.
I am closing this year with my heart hanging heavy on my chest and filled with grief after the sudden loss of my dog, Bumblebee. I am no stranger to tough times. I know a lot of you can relate. Times get tough, yes, but I am lucky to be able to always leave work in a better mood than when I went in. I won’t lie, behavior consulting is HARD. It can be emotionally draining work, but on the other hand it is so incredibly rewarding for me and fills me with so much passion and purpose. I don’t know who I would be without my career and sometimes I think I might not even be here at all without it. It’s truly the biggest honor to do what I do and watch my clients transform their lives with their dogs for the better under my guidance.
After 10 years of working with dogs, 7 years as a dog trainer, 4 years as a business owner, and 3 years into specializing in severe behavioral issues, it’s been quite the journey. I have worked with hundreds if not thousands of dogs and their people. I have learned and grown and failed and succeeded over and over again. If I am lucky enough, that trend will continue for many many more years and decades to come.
Hugs your dogs tightly tonight and give them an extra cookie just because. You never know when the last moment will be. Prioritize what brings you both joy and what fills you both with the most love. You never know, maybe that’s what life is all about anyways.
Thank you for your support. I am grateful for every one of you every day🖤
