I love Kongs. But there is a Kong conundrum:
They are beloved, classic toys with a million and one uses.
Yet, they are THE toys that my clients complain about the most. I know that’s partially because Kongs are so popular that nearly every dog guardian has one. But the main complaint is, “My dog won’t play with it.” So, I wrote this post to help you & your dogs love your Kongs again!
Can you feel it, too? It’s the Great Transformation!
We’re evolving rapidly now.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that you are doing things differently?
As we surf into the uncertainty of 2022,
I encourage you to hold two simple words in your heart:
My readings are unique.
They are a heart-centric, gentle, positive conversation between us and Spirit. Energy & information flow two ways as we meet. In the process, I encourage your natural intuition to blossom. Each session lasts an hour. One person per session, one session per day.
I don’t know a trainer who isn’t restless around puppy season — For me, that includes kitten season, too.
That what’s-cuter-than-kittens? time of year is upon us again. Are you expecting the pitter-patter of four tiny furry paws in your home? You’re in for a simultaneously adorable, confounding, & sleep deprived rest-of-the-year. So I would be remiss if I didn’t temporarily don my critter-coach cap out of sheer compassion for you: I just wrote the instruction manuals you’ll need for your new family member.
Most of you are cat trainers and don’t realize it.
Does Fluffy come running when you use a can opener?
Does Maxi use his litter box or his scratching post?
Congratulations – you’ve succeeded in teaching your cat a behavior!
Are you thinking about adopting a kitten?
Before you do, consider welcoming an older kitty into your home.
Your local shelter has lots of wonderful cats available for adoption, many of which are adult cats with much to offer you and your family.
Before you bring Kitty home, you need to do some “redecorating”.
Your cat will need a safe indoor haven (usually a room with a door that can be closed), complete with all the comforts & necessities of a cat’s home.

Congrats on your new feline family member!
