Let Fear Bounce - Tossing out nuggets of hope

Nugget of hope: Regarding training your dog. "Just because you haven't found the answer doesn't mean there isn't one. Always have hope." Having worked with and rehabilitated over 1,000 “unfixable” dogs, Angie Winters, dog parenting coach of over 20 years and author of the new book Don’t Train Your Dog, says that parenting a dog is an intentional approach touching upon all aspects of your dog’s place within the family. It is the single most effective way to teach good doggie behavior, calm fears, and raise happy, well-adjusted dogs.

· What her definition of ‘parenting’ is (spoiler: providing love, protection, and guidance to vulnerable members of a family).

· What this means for raising both dogs and kids.

· What you need to know about what dogs and kids have in common to effectively parent both.

· The differences between dog parenting and dog training.

· Why firm but supportive parental guidance works best for dogs — and kids!

· Why parenting your dog is far more effective than training in teaching good doggie behavior, calming fears, and raising happy, well-adjusted dogs.

While you don’t have to ditch the baseball caps or bumper stickers, Angie encourages you to round out your dog parent identity with an authentic parenting approach.

For Angie Winters, author of Don’t Train Your Dog, helping dogs is more than a job— it’s a calling.

As a dog parenting coach and social entrepreneur for over 20 years, Angie has obsessively studied, raised, and rehabilitated over 1,000 dogs and helped their parents.

Her record for fixing broken dogs—deemed unfixable by typical dog trainers, vets, medications, behavioral experts, parents, and rescues—is unparalleled. Using a careful understanding of dog emotion and effective communication, Angie’s cutting-edge dog parenting philosophy helps dog parents, rescues, and prison dog training programs nationwide.

Angie has had dog parents drive from as far as California to seek out her coaching at her Ohio home.

Her mission is to create a world where dogs are understood and valued for their incredible gifts, leading to happier and healthier lives for both dogs and their parents.

Making the hard decisions-Jessica Ell, Life Coach S4 EPS47

Nugget of Hope: When you let the truth lead, decisions are spontaneously made.

Jessica Ell is a Martha Beck life coach who helps people make hard decisions.

She’s struggled with hard decisions her whole life.

“I don’t know” is the most truthful statement of her existence. Still, about this, she is certain: unless someone has been there themselves, they can’t possibly understand the deep pain of indecision, ambivalence, and reluctance.

Now, she helps other people make seemingly "ill-advised" decisions that lead them straight to the lives they're meant to live.
