We foster puppies.
Our family fosters puppies who've landed in shelters — 250 of them so far! Want to see? The Dodo did a 3-minute video feature on one of our favorite litters: Mama Cookie, who came to us during the pandemic, offering a whole lot of light just when we needed it. Click to watch. (Want more? My first book is filled with some of the best stories — and photos — from our fostering adventures.)
I'm a dog trainer.
But honestly?
I don't want to train your dog.
First, I want to help you
understand your dog.
You want great behavior? Here's where it starts: Instead of focusing solely on what you want, spend some time figuring out what your dog needs. You'll be shocked to see how quickly behavior comes around once you start to see your dog's point of view. I would love to coach you and your dog through that process!
If you're navigating puppyhood,
check out my book,
It has become one of the best-selling
puppy guides out there.
If you have a dog who's getting older,
and you want to know how
to do right by them through every stage
(especially if you're adding a puppy)
we wrote Old Dog, New Dog just for you.
