Appreciation post! (+ a little transparency on who I love working with 🐾)
As a dog trainer and behaviourist who works one-on-one with the general public, I’ll be honest — a full caseload of dream clients is rare. But recently I’ve had exactly that, and I’m feeling incredibly grateful.
Every one of my current training clients (and walkees!) — both human and canine — are what I’d call unicorns. Gorgeous Bowie 📸 very much included!
So this is a shoutout to you all. You’re what keep me passionate not just about canine behaviour and training (that will never change); but working with and passing on my knowledge to as many loving fur parents as possible ❤️.
❓What makes a unicorn client? It’s a long list, but suffice to say… It’s in every little lightbulb moment. Every bit of buy in, that then builds on itself. And it’s seeing that spark in your eye when you notice these moments, and can’t wait to tell me about them.
I don’t care about benchmarks - I meet you and your dog exactly where you’re at. I care about progress.
And honestly, I care about pet parents who care about their canines. People who aren’t perfect, but are willing to do their best; not just to meet their own goals, but to do so through truly understanding their dog, developing their relationship and optimising their (mutual) wellbeing.
Some of these 🦄 clients have extended to less frequent sessions now their biggest goals have been achieved. So if you might be one of my next unicorns, I’d love to hear from you! 📩
