In this episode, I share what raising our puppy, Sunny, has taught me—not just about dog training but about communication, empathy, and meeting people (and dogs!) where they’re at. From the early challenges of training her with small kids around to hiring a dog trainer, I’ve learned the importance of setting clear expectations, paying attention to nonverbal cues, and asking for help when things aren’t working. There are so many parallels between what Sunny needed and what we all need: understanding, patience, and someone willing to show us the way.
