Quotes

“Our brains want to keep us in the comfort zone, even if the comfort zone is the most unbelievably uncomfortable place ever.”

“It takes us stepping back and saying, ‘wait a minute, this isn’t working’.”

“The reason safe, calm and happy works and we can have such a phenomenal turn around is when the humans commit themselves to being brilliant partners!”

“They committed themselves to understanding, communicating, to not trying to fix their dog … and to learn how to live in a way where everyone thrives.”

  1. Kathy gives me so much hope for a better life for my rescue dog with me while I endeavour to become a living leader in a cooperative partnership with him.
    It makes so much sense but it is how to do it?
