Quotes:

We love our dogs. Our life revolves around our dogs. And we want to do everything to help them to thrive and to feel good and to be happy. 

It’s really up to us to take responsibility for being the kind of human that our dogs love to follow, love to listen to, and love to partner with. 

Our partnership lifestyle foundation needs to be well established before we start our dog sport training. Without this foundation in place, we end up creating unnecessary struggles and miscommunications with our dogs that will keep us from having the success we dream of.
