Change doesn't happen without a little discomfort
This week we're getting uncomfy for the sake of growth. So many of our dogs struggle because we never put them through moments of discomfort but for me, this is where success lies.

Favorite podcast
This podcast has replaced every podcast I used to listen to. I’m a new dog trainer and have been beyond overwhelmed by the mixed messages and strong opinions out there, but Meg makes all the madness make sense. The intersection of mental health and dog training that goes on in this podcast makes it the best thing out there.
Best Episode yet!
I’ve enjoyed following Meg on her journey via this podcast, but the most recent one with Shane Murray was the best! It had it all. Plenty of personal stories, a large portion focused on dogs and dog training, and a healthy amount of swearing. I’m hoping to hear more episodes like this one!
Amazing podcast
Amazing - she’s rad, articulate and entertaining.
