• 107 | Think Your Dog Should Know Better? Why Training Isn't Working

  Hey Dog Lover 🐾Have you ever looked at your dog mid-chaos and thought, “He should know better by now”?You're not alone. That thought creeps in when you're tired, frustrated, or just not up for another round of treat-pouch training. But what if the real issue isn't your dog "knowing better"... it's that the kind of training you're doing doesn't feel sustainable—or satisfying?In this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden pressure behind traditional dog training and talking about what to do when you just don’t want to train anymore.(And no, you’re not a bad dog person for feeling that way.)You’ll learn:Why you’re not lazy (you’re just not a professional trainer—and that’s okay)The real reason traditional obedience doesn’t stickWhat to focus on instead: connection, trust, and a leadership style that fits your lifeWe’ll also reflect on your current relationship with your dog—and invite you to redefine it in a way that actually works for both of you.If this conversation resonates, you’ll love what we’re doing inside the Fearless Framework—my online program and community that teaches you how to lead with trust, clarity, and calm.It’s not about obedience.

• 105 | From Survive to Thrive: Rethinking the Rescue Narrative

Because pity might feel kind, but it can unintentionally disempower your dog. And your dog? They’re capable of so much more than their history.We’re diving into:Why assumptions about your dog’s past can shape their futureThe difference between empathy and enablingWhy your dog’s story is a starting point, not a sentenceHow to stop over-accommodating and start advocatingWhat to do instead of explaining behavior awayIf you’ve ever felt stuck between compassion and confusion—this one’s for you.Hope you enjoy this one!
