Do you have dogs of your own? How many? Yes, we have 8 dogs in our pack! Each one brings a little something different to the party!
What Made You Want to Start D101? A sweet little whizzpucker of a Saint Bernard named Wrigley swept me off my feet in my late 30s; I spoiled that lil one within an inch of his life, and he got a tad naughty around one year old. That’s when this passion I didn’t even know I had begun to unfold. I started the business in 2015, left teaching elementary school after 28 years in 2018, and built our training center a few years later. I didn’t quit teaching; I just switched up WHAT I was teaching. That’s what I love most about this work: teaching people how to improve the relationship with their dog and empowering them with knowledge and skills so they can move forward with confidence towards accomplishing all the goals they have with their dog. LOVE IT! I’m so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful staff that continues to impress me with their drive, work ethic and team spirit!
What Do You Love About Your Job? Everything! I especially love the when I see the “A HA” moment in the client’s face.
What Is Your Favorite Book About Dogs? Need a good dog book to read? Here are my faves: All the Cesar Millan books, The Monks of New Skete’s Let Dogs Be Dogs and How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend.
What Advice Do You Have for Clients? My best advice is to be intentional and purposeful with your dog. Know what you want because if you don’t know, your dog certainly doesn’t know. Be calm, be sensitive, be respectful; trust the dog and you’ll be able to create the pattern you want.
Don’t forget to have fun with your dog! See and feel the joy they have for every minute and enjoy it with them.
