Pet Insurance & Vets & More
-
We highly recommend pet insurance - purchase your plan earlier rather than later to avoid treatment exclusions due to pre-existing conditions. We use Healthy Paws and Lemonade. (Please use our referral links!)
For more information, please refer to this informal FAQ document (please note that I am not an expert, simply a high utilizer).
-
We love our vets at Northside Animal Hospital for routine care. All five bulldog knee surgeries and a feline emergency general surgery were completed at Madison Veterinary Specialists; we are so grateful to the MVS team for taking such phenomenal care of our pets! For physical therapy and integrative medicine, we highly recommend Dr. Lara at HEAL Integrative Veterinary Rehabilitation.

Most of our photos are from Dulcy Dog Photography. Melanie is an incredible artist and phenomenal human. We're so grateful to take photos with her annually!
Training Equipment
-
We use a variety of leashes! Some of our favorites are linked below.
-
Herm Sprenger is the ONLY brand of prong collar that we trust. Most dogs need a 2.25mm collar. Pair with a safety tie (connected from O ring on prong to flat buckle or ecollar). We have a limited quantity available for purchase!
-
We love the mini or micro educator ecollars from Ecollar Technologies (and sometimes, The Boss, for our larger canine companions!). The versatility, ergonomics, and precision (100 levels in increments of one) are hard to beat. We are happy to order for you (and save you $20!) - please email Jen to submit your request.
-
We prefer elevated place cots for clarity in boundaries, confidence building, and comfort. Our favorites are Coolaroo and Amazon brand. They come in a variety of sizes and colors!
-
We use wire crates and prefer the one door version. Our favorite brand is Frisco via Chewy. Most dogs need a 30, 36, or 42 inch crate.
We use Primo Pads for comfort, durability, and ease of cleaning. Be sure to measure your crate and follow all directions on their website for the best fit.
-
We rely on a variety of products for safe, effective, and stress free grooming. See below for links!
-
Bark collars can be game changers for the whiny or barking dog. Please ensure that this tool, like any other, is conditioned appropriately.
Ecollar Technologies Barkless Pro - order from us to save $20

Journey of Becoming Materials
I've been new a lot over the past decade - in balanced dog ownership, in business, in training, in the corporate world. It can be overwhelming, fun, frustrating, exhilarating, scary, and exciting, all at the same time!
In our Journey of Becoming mini ebook and Instagram Live Series, you'll find discussions, tools, and resources that I have found helpful. Cultivating vulnerability, rumbling with shame and feelings of inadequacy, finding my Something Larger, preventing burnout, and incorporating self care, have helped me to use transitions to grow, expand, and mature - and cope with the challenges of being new. I hope they do the same for you.
