Helping dogs is your passion.
Helping humans is your job.
Free Consult CallBut who is supporting you?Â
Â
You’re not just managing dog behavior and running a business. You’re also navigating a messy, emotionally charged industry while carrying your human clients' emotions.
All without true support.
No wonder you’re exhausted.
Support for the stuff no one trained you for.
Â
In coaching, we focus on you—not just as a dog professional, but as a human navigating truly emotionally demanding work.
Whether you're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed by client dynamics, or struggling to build a business that actually supports your wellbeing, you're not alone.
Together, we can work through the emotional, relational, and structural challenges that come with doing this work day after day.
Coaching addresses topics like...
-
Communicating with clients clearly and compassionately—especially during tough conversations
-
Feeling stuck or frustrated with clients who aren’t progressing or following through
-
 Supporting clients through rehoming or behavioral euthanasia—without losing yourself in the process
-
Processing emotional fallout after incidents, crises, or safety concerns in client work
-
Recognizing and addressing burnout before it leads to breakdown
-
Navigating compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and vicarious trauma
-
Structuring your business to reflect your values to protect your time, energy, and mental health
-
Redefining success in a field that doesn’t always reward rest, reflection, or boundaries
