    4 ways you're accidentally rewarding unwanted behavior

    In this short but eye-opening episode, Christine from Kloud K9 Dog Psychology Centre breaks down four of the most common ways dog owners accidentally reinforce the very behaviors they’re trying to stop. From talking too much, not following through, and giving too much freedom too soon — to missing the mark on clear communication — Christine helps you see how everyday habits shape your dog’s mindset. This episode is all about awareness — because you’re always training something, whether you realize it or not. Tune in to learn how small, intentional changes can create a calmer, more respectful relationship with your dog. 🎯 Challenge: Pick one thing from this episode and start changing it today!

    Why I told my friend to not get another dog...yet!

    This episode was sparked by a rare moment of peace in my home after a hike with my seven dogs. In it, I dive into the emotional and physiological toll living with reactive dogs can have on our lives and why it's crucial to let your nervous system reset before jumping into another dog. I share why I advised a close friend, who just lost her reactive dog, to take time for herself before bringing another dog into her life. If you've ever lived with reactive dogs, this episode will resonate as I explore the deep need for healing, how the body stores stress, and why calm dogs feel like such a gift.Want to dive deeper or connect?

    Facing Failure: Lessons from the field as a trainer and detection handler

    This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s really like to be in the dog training world and an explosive detection dog handler. I recently spent two challenging weeks away, training hard and working toward recertification. It wasn’t easy, and it definitely wasn’t perfect. But I believe it’s important for my clients and listeners to know that I’m right there with you—doing the work, learning from setbacks, and growing every day. In this episode, I share some raw insights on my journey, because even as a trainer, we are not immune to struggles!
