Small Dogs, Big Reactions: The Real Talk on E-Collar Levels

Description

If you’ve got a little dog with big energy, this episode is for you. I’m talking through real-life lessons from recent board and train dogs - including a spicy little Frenchie named Valentina - and what surprised me about her reactivity and E-Collar training.

I’m also sharing a heartfelt update on the book I’m writing (Dear Owner), how grief shaped the timing, and why it feels more important than ever to share the stories that have shaped me (and my training).

Plus:

  • When to upgrade from a Micro to a Mini Educator
  • The mindset shift that helps owners stop underwhelming their dogs
  • Why sustainability in training matters more than perfection
  • How one message from an owner brought me to tears (in the best way)


If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed your training, or wondered if you were doing it “wrong,” this one’s for you.
