  • 74 | 4 Ways to Show Up as the Leader Your Dog Needs
    Hey Dog Lover! 🐾We hear all the time that dogs need a leader—but what does that actually mean? Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about being someone worth following…to a dog. And here’s the catch: your dog doesn’t follow just anyone. They follow someone who truly understands them.In this episode, we’re breaking downfour key ways to be a leader your dog actually wants to follow—by learning who they really are, what fulfills them, and how to show up in a way that makes them feel safe, seen, and understood.✅Know Thy Dog → Leadership starts with understanding.✅Meet Their Needs, Not Yours → True leadership means fulfilling whatthey need, not what’s convenient for us.✅Communicate in a Way They Understand → Dogs follow energy, movement, and clarity—not words.✅Be Worthy of Their Trust → Trust is earned through consistency, advocacy, and reliability.You’ll learnhow to shift from ‘owner’ to true leader, how to make yourself more relevant to your dog, and how to build the kind of trust that makes them WANT to follow you. No more bribing, micromanaging, or relying on obedience tricks—just real, meaningful connection.Hope you enjoy this episode!— TracyNext Steps:🐶Ready to help your fearful dog build confidence?

  • Special Invite for You
    Hey Dog Lover! I’ll be real with you—I seriously considered cancelling next week’s Calm Down, Dog! Bootcamp. With everything happening in the world, Everything just feels so heavy right now. I wondered, Is this even the right time? But then I realized… that’s exactly why this needs to happen. We need to connect more than ever over our shared love of dogs now! Because if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably felt: 🐾 Frustrated that your dog’s anxiety or reactivity isn’t getting better, no matter what you try. 🐾 Overwhelmed by all the advice out there (and still not sure what actually works). 🐾 Exhausted from managing your dog’s emotions on top of your own. 🐾 Alone—like no one really understands how hard this can be. And honestly? I don’t want you to feel that way anymore. This bootcamp isn’t about drilling more obedience or “fixing” your dog. It’s about understanding them, leading them, and creating calm—for both of you. It’s about getting out of survival mode and finally feeling like you can breathe again. So no, I’m not canceling. And if you’re ready for a different approach—one that actually makes sense for you and your dog—I’d love for you to join me. Let’s figure this out together. Can’t wait to share this with you! Cheers! Tracy Sign up Today! and Let's Do This Together 💪🐾
