Big Changes Here at Ruff Trails!!
It is with a heart both heavy & full that I announce my decision to pass on Ruff Trails to my esteemed colleagues Jen Mallon & Kim Flom.
This decision did not come easy & I still havenā€™t discovered all the ways I will miss this work, but if thereā€™s one thing I have honed over these years it is listening to my intuition & it feels right & true.
I have zero doubt that these fine humans will continue to carry on the methods that I have gathered, tested & worked through. Providing your dogs with not only excellent care, but with a safe environment to be a dog šŸ•
To say I love this work is an understatement.
It is part of who I am.
I will carry it into my next endeavor(s), as I continue to work with dogs & their humans in the future.
The experiences I have had shook me down to my foundation & built me back up again.
I am abundantly proud of what Iā€™ve built & every relationship I have gained through it.
Some of your dogs are my best pals & so are some of you!!
There are a lot of emotions that I feel about this & little Nikki(3rd slide) is who I intend to ask where we should venture next.
I will not say goodbye because it isnā€™t that. I will be around to aid, to consult & you can still do behavior sessions with me through Ruff Trails email!
I very much look forward to seeing how Jen and Kim allow this business to soar!
I thank you times one million for everything!!
Please give Jen & Kim a big olā€™ welcome & I surely hope to see yā€™all around. šŸ©µ
Tell all your dogs that I love themšŸ©µšŸ„¹šŸ©µ

I swear if yā€™all donā€™t get a picture of yourself, look you dead in the eyes & tell you that youā€™re worthy of love & acceptanceā€¦dogs will.
And oh the world that will open up to you if you believe it toošŸ¤

Thereā€™s only a couple of things that I know to be true every time all the time.
One of those things is that Luna does do a fierce eyebrow liner from the dirt.
Second is, Iā€™ve never met a dog thatā€™s a liar.
They will make an honest person out of you too, if you can learn what theyā€™re telling you instead of just simply trying to stop/distract a behavior.
Truthtellers do not appreciate authority figures who donā€™t hear them out. So, if youā€™re struggling with your dog, stay curious about whatā€™s driving it & ask for help. Itā€™s available!šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļø

Push & Pull
Give & Take
A relationship means we try to be at 100% as a team. So, if you feel like a 20 today Iā€™ll be your 80 & vice/versa.
The understanding is that we are moving toward the same ā€œgoal.ā€
So, whatā€™s the goal?
I try to make things as easy on myself & others as possible so itā€™s mostly about just feeling at peace with existing.
Not necessarily a peaceful existence but at peace with existencešŸ’›

ā€œthere is no shame when one is foolish with a tree
No bird ever called me crazy
No rock scorns me as a w***e
The Earth means exactly what it says The wind is without flattery or lust
Greed is balanced by the hunger of all so I embrace anew, as my childhood spirit did, the whispers of a world without words.ā€ ~ Chrystos 1983

Natureā€™s hierarchies arenā€™t built to diminish those in lower ranking spots.
Theyā€™re built to make sure everyone gets safety, protection, food, water & community.
Psychological safety is the main ingredient in a team/family/pack/business/community/world working successfully.
I work towards making my dogs feel psychologically safe & thatā€™s why we work so well togetheršŸ’›
