It all started when I got my dog, Murphy.

As someone who grew up with dogs, I, like so many of you, had experience of living with dogs, learning about them, and getting a general understanding of what it was like to have a canine companion but not what it truly took to own and fulfill a dogs genetic needs.

For the last 15 years, I’ve been a full on cat lady; I have three amazing cats that have gone through all the wild unexpected moves, breakups, cross-country adventures to get to this very point in time. I always knew I’d get a dog at some point on the journey and in 2024, I decided that I was ready to bring a dog into my world. That’s when I came across my rescue pup, Murphy (FKA Titan). Murphy was only 5.5 months old when I brought him home and turned out to be -

The longest ongoing therapy session ever.

3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months

The 3-3-3 rule of thumb is something you hear about when bringing an animal home. 3 days to wind their nervous system down, 3 weeks for them (and you) to get a semblance of a routine, and 3 months to feel settled in their new home. By day 2, I was in tears wondering if I had made a terrible mistake as Murphy wailed in his crate in the background. If this is you or you’re mid crash-out, I understand and have been in your exact shoes.

It gets better.

My commitment to you & your dog.

As someone who is all in with their animals, I am equally committed to educating owners on how to live a more balanced and fulfilling life with their dog(s). There is no one-size-fits-all to dog training, and with your trust, we can find the right tools and strategies to unlock you and your dog’s fullest potential as a team.
