Driving Outside My Lane

Author: Kimberly Gauthier, CPCN

I don't often write about the topic of dog training. I'm more comfortable with canine nutrition and raw feeding.

As I think about it, I believe diet, exercise, and training are equally important. All three provide essential engagement while supporting overall wellness and happiness.

Deep Thoughts

When there is a "my way or the highway" mentality, learning and sharing becomes a challenge as we are forced to navigate egos. Raising dogs isn't black and white, what works for one dog may not work for another. Time is better spent looking for workable solutions than bickering about ideologies.

Feed Real Summit

The Feed Real Summit was a fantastic event. Each speaker was amazing and I have pages of notes from the event.  The venue was beautiful, we had plenty of time to engage with vendors, speakers, and other dog lovers, and the food was good.

This was the first event I've attended that incorporated a workshop. VIP ticket holders learned meal prep, including Rodney Habib.

I walked away from this event feeling more inspired to learn about my dogs. And now I have a meeting scheduled with a veterinarian that knows a lot about Bobi, the oldest dog in the world. I will finally get answers to my questions.
