A Bit Chelsea Dog trainer and veterinary nurse by training. Business consultant by necessity. Let me help get Animals and helping people are my passion. That's where I come in.

Now I do both; on my terms

Many of my friends were creating successful businesses with no online presence or seamless way to operate. I'm your right hand man for any and all of your needs for the first months your business is taking off. From creating a website that aligns with your brand and vision to figuring out what paperwork you need to submit, getting business cards and t-shirts, recommendi

I will also make sure to train my successor to do most of what I do also. So you’re never back at square one again. The best part: I’ll always be there for you if you need me down the road for something.

I am bigger than my irritations. I am bigger than my typical reaction. And when I am at a point I cannot handle it is okay to step back and enjoy what is around me.

Days will test me and I won’t always rise above, but I will strive for just that

Everything has beauty. Not everyone see it

The beautiful red door against this great blue sky. The reflection of the bridges on the water. The ice ons the water creaking with the incoming ripples. Then back of my best friend seeing her excitement in a new city. This was in January but between the snow pants, gloves, and laughter it felt like mid spring

I was doing my morning read today when I felt like I had to share this with you. This book: Everything You Need to Know: E-Collar Training by: details a really great example of teaching without commands and what can go wrong if leadership is lacking. Not only does he talk about appropriate E-Collar use; but also about dog behavior. Because a huge part of training is learning your dog, their ticks, and their motivations.

I've worked at multiple vet hospital and boarding facilities over the years. I've seen first had a dog come in for behavioral issue, training is recommended; comes back, medications are prescribed; comes back with a bite on the record....and soon after that comes back to be euthanized. Lack of confidence due to lack of leadership is more of a problem than you'd think. At boarding facilities I've seen numerous dogs that can ONLY stay in a run because we literally cannot touch them or look at them. I've broken up fights between siblings because one is being a jerk and the other has finally had it. These situations are out there. And it's better to be prepared and aware than to be scrambling when 💩hits the fan.

I coupled what I've learned in this book with virtual E-collar training from to start building a more rounded foundation for Nigel to thrive instead of dive.

Without leadership and structure Nigel would be becoming a poorly behaved dog with a lot of behavioral issues. And we've all heard about some of his poor choice (escalation to know end, the windshield incident, a general reactivity to other dogs I haven't mastered with him yet). With structure Nigel is able to live a life that most dogs only dream about. It's possible. And we're here to help. Contact , me, , or anyone I've tagged in this post if you're experiencing any of the issues I've described from this section of Larry's book (or other issues!).

Thank you for coming to my morning voice, bed hair TED Talk

PS- watch to the end and you can see Larry surrounded by some of the Irish Wolfhounds that day

(Also how did it take me so long to read so few pages - sorry not sorry 🙃😹🙂)

A time for reflection during this beautiful sunset kayak session

I even made it possible to accommodate 3 people and Nigel 😳🤪

After this gorgeous evening Nigel and I worked on commands using a long leash with just the light of 1000 fireflies to help us see.

Training your dog in all conditions helps them figure it out better when there are more distractions or in a new place. (He did fantastic by the way)

When I was younger - younger than 7 or 8 my dad taught me how to ride a bike without training wheels. He taught me on the middle of the night with only the moon to light my way. I fell more times than I would probably want to admit. Pedaling towards my dads voice over and over again under the moonlight. And you know what; I’ll always remember that and I’ll always know how to ride my bike. Was it just the fact I learned to do it under the deprivation of other senses? Probably not. But that meant it was stronger when some of those senses were inhibited

Use everything at your disposal to make training fun, different, new, exciting, challenging, and easy.

This Independence Day hit a little different. I was able to just pack up and meet my brother somewhere with his gf, . Why? Bc I work for myself now…helping other people. And I do it remotely. It’s allowed me to gain freedom to spend my TIME the way I think it should be: exploring!

My first night camping and exploring was a HUGE success. I wasn’t able to get a campsite last minute, but I used my camping apps to try and find free camping and found this little gem of a parking lot. For me it was nicer than street parking bc I don’t have all of the black of stuff for my windows. But I just loveeeee to wake up to the sunrise. Everything is about perspective and my perspective is: the world is beautiful; let’s go live in it and all it has to offer

PS: this night vision (2nd picture) is freaking amazing. This picture was taken at 12:45am after I spent an hour reorganizing my space after buying a bunch of crap and traveling in it all day
PSS: let’s talk about Nigel another day. Fireworks: he did very well…seeing another dog from the car while I was outside chatting….not so well 😅

The first people you learn to love unconditionally are cousins, aunts, and, uncles. The first people you’re around all of the time. Your parents old family learning how to embrace their new families while still staying together and close. They’re also the people you grow apart from first; lose touch, care about dearly but don’t know anything about anymore. Yesterday we celebrated the life of my Uncle John. A man I’ve loved before I remember feeling love. His family is mourning an amazing father. My father and uncle have lost an amazing brother. So many times of laughing, playing video games with Jacquelyn and me (my love for donkey Kong country will be everlasting), watching John play soccer with Christopher, playing phase 10 at New Years, parties at Mikeys and Aimees, and his undying hard core love of the Steelers. So much so that he was holding one at his wake; which was perfect and fitting. Yesterday we celebrated the way John lived, how many lives he’s touched, and how many lives now carry on without him.

Yesterday was also my birthday. And sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles. It may have been the first time was together for a cousin birthday in over 15 years. It was something to smile about. The true meaning of a funeral is not to be sad (although we all are); it’s to honor and remember and come together. It’s a day to celebrate life. May your afterlife be as full and grand as your life was.

(Somehow these are the only photos I got. It was very high on my list to get some too)

There was a time when I wouldn’t do something bc someone wasn’t with me. If I had to do it alone. And it was always so odd since I never had a problem going to eat by myself…but making memories; I wanted someone there. I’d wait around for them to answer. I’d ask the wrong people that I wanted to be with more than others and then those people ultimately never came through and I missed out on other opportunities with people who would have been there if I had reached out. Or I missed out on doing the things. I’d just sit at home in front of the tv, drink some wine and pretend that was the plan all along.

I am NOT that person anymore. That person was desperate for love and life in all the wrong places. Ultimately it was with me all along. Nowadays I just make the split second choice to do something and I just GO and do it on my own.

….Well…With Nigel by my side. And it’s been liberating and helpful to his training. With another person there I feel rushed and he underperforms bc I don’t spend the time it takes to keep him calm.

Loneliness is a mindset. One that can be changed. One that won’t always mean the same thing. One that should be embraced at times so we can find a new place.
