🎉THE CALM DOWN, DOG! BOOTCAMP IS BACK 🎉— and I couldn’t be more excited.
It’s happening October 7–8, and we’re diving deep into the real work of living with dogs — not just training them.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real reason I got a new German Shepherd puppy… and the realer reason why I’ve been rejected by rescues and breeders more than once.

Yep.
Despite working professionally with dogs for over 20 years, I’ve had doors closed on me simply because I don’t subscribe to the “purely positive” training model.

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on:

• Why I don’t train with treats or corrections — I train with relationship

• How my pack helps raise balanced, confident dogs (including Gunther)

• The difference between controlling behavior and creating trust

• Why relationship-first leadership is more misunderstood — and more effective — than you think

And yes… I’ll be teasing a powerful moment I caught on video that I’ll be sharing exclusively inside the Bootcamp.

If you’ve ever felt like mainstream training advice doesn’t work for your dog — this one’s for you.

Hope you enjoy this one!

Tracy xoxo
