Hey Dog Lover! 🐾

Leadership... It's a dirty word in the dog training industry, but in this episode, I'm breaking down the real meaning of leadership and why it’s absolutely essential for you and your dog. 🐕

I’m sharing my own story of facing pushback—and even bullying—in the dog training community over the word "leadership."

Many trainers have it all wrong, equating leadership with outdated, force-based methods that do more harm than good. ❌

But true leadership? It’s about guiding with confidence, trust, and consistency—not control. 🐾💖 And guess what? YOU (not dog training influencers) get to decide your leadership style and qualities of a good Leader.

Join me as we redefine what leadership means for dog guardians and why it’s the key to a balanced, happy relationship with your dog. 🐕🐾

We’ll also go through an exercise to help you claim your unique leadership style by creating a personal value list. 📋 I’ll share my own values and style to inspire you to show up as the calm, confident guide your dog needs. ❤️
