Hey Dog Lover!

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed when it comes to helping your fearful dog? Maybe you’re caught in the loop of what not to do, or you’ve tried New Year’s resolutions in the past that never really stuck. It’s frustrating, isn’t it?

But here’s the good news: change is possible, and it starts with setting clear, meaningful goals.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
1️⃣ Why goal setting is better than New Year’s resolutions.
2️⃣ How to choose a word of the year to guide your journey.
3️⃣ Setting a big goal and breaking it into smaller, actionable steps.
4️⃣ The final step: Who do you need to BE to help your dog thrive?

You don’t have to stay stuck. Let’s make this the year you and your dog take steps forward—together.

Enjoy,
Tracy

Hey Dog Lover!

I’m super excited to share the mic with my daughter Paisley for this episode!

We’re diving into a big question sparking debate in the dog training world: Why are dogs so timid these days?

Paisley takes us back to simpler times, sharing what it was like growing up with dogs and how attitudes toward them have changed over the years.

And, we explore the finger-pointing and blame game happening in dog trainer forums—bad breeders, the "rescue all" mentality, and, of course, YOU, the dog lover.

But here’s the thing: I believe the real issue runs deeper. From polarized trainer advice to owners feeling lost and overwhelmed, we unpack how today’s dog training culture may be creating more confusion than solutions.

🎧 Join us for a candid, heartfelt conversation about what’s really going on—and how we can all do better for our dogs.
