👀 Okay… I’ve been keeping something under wraps.

And TODAY I can finally say this much…

🔥 Something BIG is coming this September. 🔥

I’ve been working behind the scenes on something designed to bring fresh ideas, practical strategies and REAL results to dog trainers who are ready for more.
I’m not spilling the details yet. 😏
(Yes, I know. Annoying.)

But you’re going to want to watch this space.
September is about to get VERY interesting. 👀🐾

National Dog Day was recognized on August 26. In reality, we would be wise to recognize the significant role that dogs play in our daily lives. They are resilient, compassionate, perceptive and affectionate. They make us laugh when we didn’t know how much we needed to laugh in that moment. They know when we were having a bad day, and act in a way to make it better.

That’s why it’s so difficult to say goodbye, regardless of whether or not we know it’s the right time. The following sums up what dogs can mean to us, if we let them.

Every day is Celebrate Your Dog Day.

Still riding the National Dog Day high, and this week, life gave me the perfect way to celebrate it. 🐾🎉

Back on the CP24 desk again, talking about the thing I love most: helping dogs and their people actually understand each other. National Dog Day is a reminder of everything our dogs give us without asking for much back — patience, loyalty, a wagging tail at the door no matter how the day went. The least we can do is meet them halfway and learn to speak their language.

Thank you, CP24, for having me back to share that message. And thank you to every dog who's ever tested my patience and taught me something in the process. That's what this work is really about.

Happy belated National Dog Day to all the good dogs (and the humans lucky enough to love them). 🐶❤️

🚨 Public service announcement that could save your dog’s life.

This is one of those things every dog owner should know before they need it.

Watch. Save it. Share it with another dog owner. It could make all the difference in an emergency.

🐾 NEW BLOG: National Dog Day — Celebrating Dogs by Becoming Better Owners

National Dog Day isn’t just about posting a cute photo or buying another toy your dog may ignore by tomorrow. 😉

It’s a good opportunity to ask a more important question:

Are we giving our dogs what they actually need?

Understanding the dog in front of you.
Giving them your time.
Training for more freedom.
Setting fair expectations.
Making responsible choices for the life of your dog.

Because one of the best ways to celebrate your dog is to become the owner they need.

I’ve shared my thoughts — and some practical ways to put them into action — in my latest blog.

👇 Comment “OWNER” and I’ll send you the link.

National Dog Day deserves more than a hashtag. 🐾

Catch me on CP24 tonight at 7:15 PM ET with Bakari Savage — talking about the bond we build with our dogs, and why that bond matters every single day, not just today.

Because loving a dog isn't a once-a-year thing. It's a daily practice, like brushing your teeth or making coffee — except way more rewarding.

This is another great example of a trustworthy older dog, Prince, giving a puppy a pass while practising impulse control during play.

Did you spot Prince “checking in”? 👀

Be honest—did you feel a little flash of panic at any point? If so, when? And what, if anything, would you have done differently?

Apparently puppy training now includes meeting the dog in the mirror. 😂

First: Who is THAT?
Then: Why are they copying me?
Finally: Okay… I am pretty cute.

Watching puppies discover their reflection never gets old.

What did your dog do the first time they saw themselves in a mirror? 👇

Just got this message from a client who finished up with us and honestly, this is why I do this job. 🐾

Watching someone go from "I don't know what I'm doing" to walking their dog like it's second nature — that never gets old. It's the same feeling as finally not having to think about which pedal is which when you're driving. One day it just clicks, and you forget it was ever hard.

Thanks for trusting the process and for taking a minute to share this. Means a lot.

Summer routines change fast, and puppies notice.

If your puppy has had company all summer, being suddenly left alone can be a big adjustment. Independence needs to be taught, not assumed.
