“Just bring him. He’ll be fine.” It sounds simple when you’re not the one who knows exactly what could happen if he isn’t.

Sometimes the exhausting part of knowing your dog isn’t making the decision. It’s having to explain that decision over and over to people who don’t understand why something easy for their dog isn’t easy for yours.

You'll hear:

  • Why even well meaning comments can leave you feeling like you have to defend your dog
  • Why Fitz spends family gatherings happily away from the chaos
  • What changed when Em stopped trying to convince everyone else that she knew what her dog needed


Press play if you’re tired of explaining decisions about your dog that you already know are right.
