For those who know me, you know how deeply I love this work. Teaching families to use positive reinforcement isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. I hope the kids I work with will carry those same kind, positive techniques into their lives and use them with dogs of their own someday.
What I didn’t expect was how many wonderful friendships would grow along the way. Today, I had such a lovely time at the beach with this sweet boy and his family, helping him learn to respond more reliably to his cues. Moments like these remind me that dog training is about more than teaching skills—it’s also about the wonderful people and connections that come with it. I’m so grateful for both.
