If your dog takes up 90% of your camera roll…

If you’ve ever spent more money on their treats than your own snacks…

If your dog has multiple beds but somehow still needs YOUR spot on the couch…

If you’ve ever had a full conversation with your dog and expected an answer… 😂

Yep. You might be a Hot Mess Dog Parent. 🐾

And you’re definitely my kind of people.

Come hang out with me over on YouTube at Hot Mess Dog Parenting!

We’re talking real-life dog parenting — training, behavior, the crazy stuff our dogs do, and the human end of the leash too.

🐶 Go subscribe, and if you know another Hot Mess Dog Parent, send them over too. ❤️

How often do you feed your puppy? Often I get puppy parents complaining about excessive nipping, jumping, and aggressive behavior. One of my first questions is how often are you feeding your puppy? Because it directly affects their behavior.

How do you socialize your puppy when you are told to not take your puppy out until they have had all their shots?

Did you know you probably taught your puppy to be anxious? It surprises most puppy parents. But in this case it's one way puppies are opposite from children.

Are you a single dog parent who is overwhelmed trying to take care of your dog's mental and physical work needs while being stressed yourself?

You are not alone and in fact in my Community we will be talking about this and how to get deal with it on Take a Breath Tuesdays Live in my Community.

If that interests you along with a growing dog training library, Q&A LIVE once a week, and more, message me for details. The first 100 Founding Members price will be locked in for as long as they want to be in the community. Plus you get to have real input on how the community grows.

I've been working on something behind the scenes... and I'm finally ready to start sharing it. ❤️

For nearly 30 years, I've been helping dog parents understand their dogs through practical training rooted in dog behavior.

Now I'm creating something I've dreamed about for a long time...

A place where dog parents can continue learning, ask questions, build confidence, celebrate progress, and support each other. (Note this will not be on discord.)

Inside the community you'll find:

🐾 Practical training rooted in dog behavior.

🎥 A growing library of training lessons and resources you can learn from at your own pace.

💬 Weekly Live Q&A where you can get your questions answered.

💜 Take a Breath Tuesday—a weekly reset to celebrate wins, encourage one another, and remember to take care of yourself, too.

🤝 A supportive community where you're never left to figure it all out alone.

I'm looking for my first 100 Founding Members.

Founding Members will lock in their MEMBERSHIP PRICE FOR LIFE and help shape this community from the very beginning.

If that sounds like something you'd love to be part of, I'd love to have you.

❤️ The Founding Member link is in the comments.

I truly can't wait to build this with you.

🐾 Happy Madness Monday! 🤪

I'm trying something I've never done before during today's TikTok LIVE... and honestly, I'm kind of excited about it!

If you've been putting off asking me about your dog, today is probably a good day to join me. We'll be talking puppies, reactivity, barking, pulling, potty training, and whatever else you throw at me.

Oh... and everyone who joins me LIVE will get to hear about a little surprise I've cooked up. 😉

I'll post the time before I go LIVE.

Who's coming? ❤️🐾
