Dog Mom Mentality

Grab your notebook and pen because this episode with Jess from @handlersandhumans is jam packed full of info!! Jess is a licensed professional counselor who lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, her 8 year old pit mix Dio, and her cat named Bat. Animals and therapy are two of Jess's passions, and she has brought them together in many ways, such as getting certified in animal assisted therapy, by doing equine psychotherapy work, training her reactive dog to become a therapy dog, and now as a coach who supports dog owners struggling with the human side of their training journey. Dio is a reactive boy who has worked hard to earn his CGC and pass the therapy dog evaluations - but made it clear that therapy work wasn't a fit for him, so now he's a happy house dog, loving life and hanging out with his cat all day.

I had the pleasure of talking to Shannon from @loveandfeathersandshells! Shannon Cutts' unique path to animal communication has given her the knowledge and skill to gently and compassionately hold space for you and your pet as you build your relationship. Animal communication is about more than just learning to tune in to receive and translate interspecies messages. It is also about connecting with you, the animal's human. Most importantly, animal communication is about supporting you and your pet to feel closer and more connected at every stage of life, including after they have passed into spirit. And sometimes that gets complicated. Stuff can come up. Could your interspecies family use a pep talk, a mediator, a translator, an objective new voice, a fresh perspective, an unconditionally loving mentor? Shannon Cutts is happy to help. Her pets are Flash Gordon, an 8 year old standard wirehaired dachshund; Petal, a 3 month old cockatiel; Malti, a 9 year old redfoot tortoise; and Io, a 1.5 year old 3-toed box turtle. You can find Shannon's website to book a session here and listen to her podcast here (which I am a guest on the same week this episode comes out)!

This week we are talking to Autumn from @autumnal.aussies! Autumn is a dog bather and daycare handler living in Washington State with her husband, Timothy, and their 4 Australian Shepherds: Camo, Skittles, Rand and Xayah! Ranging from 15 months to 12 years old, they mainly do off leash hikes in the forests in their area, but Autumn also dabbles in sports with them to varying degrees as their budget and mental health allows. Autumn focuses on accessible, affordable sports that don't require rigorous repetitions or commitment to a class schedule, because of her ADHD, and taps into her dogs' natural drives. Barn Hunt, Herding, Parkour, and Bikejoring are her main focuses at the moment!Autumn says she can definitely emphasize with her reactive dogs' struggles with impulse control, emotional regulation and overstimulation because she lives with ADHD. Dog training has given her a way to cope and has provided grounding strategies, which is what we are going to talk about today! Support the showGrowing & Heeling is officially out - get your copy here!

Jessie @story_of_atlas is our first ever guest from the UK! Having always dreamed of having a dog, Jessie and her husband Sean's experience with their vizsla, Atlas, was not at all what they imaged. After setting up an Instagram to share their cute puppy journey, Jessie realised their path was going to be a lot more challenging, when at 10 months, both she and her husband had been hospitalised by Atlas' biting. Dealing with human aggression was incredibly challenging and at points utterly heartbreaking, but finding the right trainer changed everything. Atlas is now thriving and their bond is stronger than ever. Wanting to help others, Jessie set up @honesthounds, a private community connecting owners, no matter their backgrounds, and promoting kindness and understanding so no matter where you are in the world you can have a safe space to share the good and the bad of life with your dog.

This week we are talking to Cosette from @going.super.nova! Cosette is a recent Masters student graduate and is finishing up her thesis at the University of South Carolina. Everyone say 'Congrats' to Cosette!! She lives with her boyfriend, Dylan, and their two dogs, Nova, a 1-year-old rescue German Shepherd mix, and Odin, an 11 month old Australian Shepherd. They also have two cats who are littermate brothers, Vladimir and Milo! Cosette came to me wanting to talk about dog parenting while being a student, and I thought it was a great topic because I know so many people who get a dog during college, me included!! She shares with us the lessons having a dog while going to school taught her, which includes maximizing her time.
