Blog

This blog includes some small bits of dog training wisdom, it may share some stories about some favorite dog resources, some of the best dog-friendly places in the Lafayette, Indiana area, or you might just hear a funny story from my life as a mom to kids and dogs.

​

As a Partner, Mama, dog owner, and business owner, I have an interesting mix of knowledge and experience. Coming from corporate America, I remember well the struggles of doing the best for my dog while balancing a busy job and children. I've got your back. 

​

I occasionally use my blog to highlight issues I have with certain things in the dog training industry. I never bash people, but if there is an idea I have a problem with I address it.

​

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I truly appreciate it.
