This year has thrown us all for a loop so it's no better time to make a bucket list that you and your dog can do together. I've experienced a lot of loss this year so one thing I've done to tackle the grief is to be more intentional with my time. So instead of putting work first, I've been living in the moment and trying to do as many things on my bucket list as possible. I'm not going to lie, it's making the year so much sweeter which just goes to show how we experience 2020 is totally up to us. It's all perspective! I hope my bucket list inspires you to get out there and listen to your wild child.

Have you ever woke up feeling like you didn't get anything done the day before even if you worked nonstop at it? Well, this episode is for you! It's time that you ask for help!

I've done a tone of coaxing dogs during mealtimes over the years so tune in to see what I do to get even the pickiest of dogs to gobble up their food. Stick around to the end to hear what you can add to their food to make sure they're always getting all the supplements and nutrients they need.

Let's talk about anxiety!! In the last episode, we talked about how to help your anxious dog when you have guests over. I’ve gotten some great feedback on that episode and I'm very happy you all found it helpful. I received a couple questions regarding managing your own stress in those situations so you can show up as a better pack leader. So I wanted to give some tips on things I do on a daily basis that help me manage stress and anxiety so I can show up as a better leader AND so I can feel as fulfilled and happy as I’m meant to be.

Courtney Green tackles two questions today regarding anxiety in dogs and the struggle of having guests over because of it. Q: "My friend is starting to bring her dog over to my house and she has never been socialized so she has anxiety when she's here" OR Q: "My dog is always barking, shaking, and super anxious whenever I have guests over. Can I fix this?" Want the answer? Tune in to this quick episode and find out some simple tricks that will leave your anxious dog feeling more confident, carefree and trusting.   Thank Dog It's Friday!

How many of you have wanted to skip 2020? How many are tired of the curveballs and just want things to go back to normal? Who has actually said the words “How am I going to get through this!?”  If you can relate to any of those this episode is for you. Courtney Green chats about how she's processing all of the world's chaos by changing her perspective. She's no longer asking how can I get through this. Now she's asking how can I GROW through this!
