  • Leadership

    I never understood leadership till recently. Magically I thought my dog would be less reactive over time showing him love and affection. Being present for my dog has showed me what real leadership is. I don’t understand how the term ā€œleadershipā€ is villainized. My relationship with my dog has changed due to Tracey’s leadership. Thank you, Tracey.

  • My rescue dog says THANK YOU

    I’m so fortunate to have found Tracy a month before we brought home a beautiful rescue dog from Houston. I have been binge listening to episodes, practically nonstop, and our sweet cautious pup has had the most successful integration into our family. In just two weeks, she is deeply bonded to us and trust me to keep her safe and care for her. She is responsive and brilliant and I am so grateful to Tracy for giving me the framework to set us all up for so much connection and mutual trust.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

203 | Can You Over-Socialize Your Dog? (A Puppy Owner’s Question)
Q: Is it possible to over socialize your dog?
Yes, you can overdo socialization if it's approached in the old, quantity-focused way; the key is socializing as a partnership that respects the dog's pace, gives them time to process experiences, and guides behavior so the dog learns to value the handler's guidance and avoid overwhelming situations.
174 | Am I Doing Enough for My Dog? The Truth About Fulfillment, Leadership & Time
Q: What's a fair amount of time to spend with my pups each day?
Instead of focusing on the amount of time, consider the quality of the interactions with your dogs which can be more important than just duration.
151 | Most Trainers Don't Know What a Dog Is-{ Interview with Nelson Hodges Pt 2}
Q: What is one thing every dog owner should know to enhance their life with their dog?

Q: How do I help Henry adjust to the new environment?

139 | Moving with a Reactive Dog: How to Reset Boundaries, Leadership, and Trust {A Behind-the-Scenes Coaching Series}
Q: What should I do with Henry during the move?
It's best if he can be at a kennel or a friend's place to avoid the chaos; introduce him to the new house afterward.
