Self-care and quiet time are a key to working with your dogs. We talk about the importance of taking the time to rejuvenate with quiet time for both you and your dogs. Present Life Awaits You!
We all want to make it to the checkered flag, which would be our green ribbon, aka, the Q ribbon or qualifying ribbon, but go into that ring focused on the podium finish, with a blue, red, yellow, or even a white ribbon, and you may not get the green.

We had similar plans for 2020, but the topsy turvy trail took hold.
