It’s doggie weekend

Well, it's doggie day every day in my world 😛 

If you're the same, you'll love the upcoming event to help dog lovers like you and me better understand their loyal sidekick.

It’s hosted by the fabulous Ness Jones, an Australia-based separation anxiety expert. You might remember her from Panic to Peace earlier this year, or her live masterclass for Soul Touched by Dogs in April.

When you're on a mission to become the person your dog deserves (and thinks you are ..), chances are you have a million questions ..

- around health and wellbeing .. I personally am always on the lookout for new and holistic approaches to help my dogs stay healthy and vibrant, and

- behavior and training .. what's the best and kindest thing to do when your dog

..... pulls on the lead,

..... can't stay alone at home,

..... is anxious and fearful,

..... is dealing with trauma

….. doesn’t like other dogs or people

If you're like me, you're always seeking new insights that make life with your dogs even better.

Ness invited 25 experts to cover a range of topics to support you and your dog:

Join us for Decoding Your Canine June 2024 Summit: Discover the secrets to having the pawfect dog, the Masterclass Series covering training, health and well-being, which starts on June 17 Australian time.

I'll be talking about how to Trust Your Magnificent Mind to Be the "Expert" Your Rescue Dog Needs.

Come and join us, it's free and it will be fun!

If you missed the session with Dr. Jeff Feinman you can still catch the recording of

"The Connection Between Spirit and Symptoms - A Holistic Vet Explains"

for another couple of days

Dr. Jeff Feinman, a veterinarian since 1985 and founder of Holistic Actions!, is spearheading the movement to bring Compassionate Communication through a positive and practical veterinary spirituality to pet care. 

So if you’re interested in how to help your dog(s) heal beyond symptoms, bring your questions and join us!

If there is a topic or expert you’d love me to invite, please let me know.

This week’s Pawsome Human: Dr. Daniel Springer-Spaniel (aka Ruth McDonagh) 'They're All Barking' - Combining Canine Therapy and Writing to Help You Understand Your Dog

It doesn’t happen every day that I get to talk to a dog who’s written a book 🤣

Well, kind of .. 😛

In this episode, I speak with Ruth McDonagh, a Whole Energy Body Balance practitioner who provides specialized dog massage focused on connective tissue and neuro fascia.

Based in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, UK, Ruth shares her journey from a writer and journalist to a canine massage therapist.

She discusses the benefits of her practice for dogs with physical and emotional issues and emphasizes the importance of respecting dogs as canines.

And … she introduces her book, 'They're All Barking,' which combines humor and serious messages to help dog owners better understand and care for their pets.

The PAC (Phenix Advocacy Center) Summer Auction

Coming up in June. Plenty of great items (more being added all the time) are being donated to be auctioned to support dog professionals with a kindness-first approach.

I’ll donate a 90-minute Business Strategy session for dog professionals, and a Soul Touched by Dogs t-shirt.

Is your dog struggling in the car?

Stay tuned ..

Annie Phenix (you might remember her from Panic to Peace earlier this year) is working on the finishing touches of her new course where she shared how she managed to help her dogs overcome their car phobia for good, and how you can help your dogs too.

More details soon.

Are you a canine professional?

A trainer, coach, behaviorist, nutritionist, holistic vet, or other canine expert with a holistic, kindness-first approach?

Would you like to be a guest on the podcast? Do you know someone you think would make a great guest? Is your business ready for an upgrade to lift the limits on how much you can earn, without working even more, or hiring a big team?

Check out the Shop

Get a mug with a picture of YOUR dog 🐾🐾 

How about a mug with a picture of YOUR dog, for your morning coffee or as a gift, using the proceeds to sponsor dogs in need and help the people who help dogs?

If you’d like one, hit reply and let me know.

Send me a good-quality photo of your dog and I’ll create the design and send you a link where you can purchase it.

They get made to order so it takes 10-12 days to arrive. €15 + shipping.

(Shipping depends on where you are of course but will be somewhere around €5-12. I’ll check for you before I go and create the design, so there won’t be any surprises)

Get your Soul Touched by Dogs t-shirt

The moment I had the idea for the mugs, I knew I also wanted t-shirts 😝 and I’m super happy with mine 🐾🐾😊😊

If you want, you can get yours here https://mavericks.tpopsite.com/product/t-shirt-woman-soul-touched-by-dogs-dark-blue (they come in a few different colours)

If it doesn’t come in your size, let me know. I do work with another supplier so we can find an option that works for you.

Just like with the mugs, the proceeds will be donated to help dogs in need.

And as always ..

If you know another Soul Touched by Dogs, please send them to https://soultouchedbydogs.com 🙏🙏🐾🐾

Until next week,
