I came up with the idea of this "Win of the Week" mini episode while on a calm, structured walk with a Pitbull named Jackie. Her owner contacted us for help with her extreme reactivity towards other dogs. I wanted to share what I (a beginner trainer) was able to accomplish just within the first 2 minutes after taking Jackie away from her owner. It's another reminder that a bunch of small wins lead to big wins!
Dog owners, fosters, trainers, rescuers... share your win of the week with me!

In 2014 we adopted Candace without meeting her first.
Not knowing how to handle Candace’s fear and confidence issues, and desperate for help, we called a professional who introduced me to the world of dog psychology.
That professional was Janice Wolfe.
So it makes perfect sense that I invite her to be my first guest!
Listen in on this very personal story as we revisit our first consultation, what her first impressions of me were, and why it’s important for the human to change in order for the dog to change.
