#186 - Your "Good Enough" Enrichment Plan
If you’ve ever lay away at night running through the list of everything you didn’t do for your pet today… welcome to the club. In this episode, Emily and Tiffany discuss why “enough” feels impossible, what “basic” care actually means, and how to build a plan that works on any day, even your hardest. If you’re ready to build a sustainable life with your pet, and even teach your pet to meet their own needs, rather than needing to do it for them, give this one a listen. TLDL (too lo...

#185 - Troubleshooting: Perfectionism's Worst Nightmare
Last episode, Emily and Ellen talked about how perfectionism can keep you stuck waiting for the “right” time, circling the perfect plan. And when Plan A is the only plan you have, then every stumble feels like a catastrophe. In this episode, Allie and Emily talk about why troubleshooting is perfectionism’s worst nightmare. They explore why adjusting your plan isn’t failure, why finding what’s not working is exciting, and how embracing troubleshooting makes a big difference for pets and their ...

#184 - Perfectionism is Your Enemy
Perfectionism is a fickle little creature. It doesn’t always show up as striving for exact perfection. Sometimes, it’s the little bouts of waiting for the next “right” thing. Waiting for winter when the streets are calm to work on leash skills. Waiting until spring, when the weather is nicer because it’s too cold. Waiting to find the “right” treat for the training session. The next “right” thing is usually just a short wait away, so why not wait for that “best” time? I...

#182 - What If You Used the Enrichment Framework on Yourself? 4 Real Stories
Enrichment is just for pets. It’s for the humans too. It’s for pet parents trying to keep their cool while their dog parkours around the house or their cats who keep making biscuits on their chest at 3 in the morning. It’s for the pet professional who is building the multi-layer plan for a family going through one of the worst weeks of their lives, or welcoming home a new puppy who will send their routine into chaos. In this episode, our PETPro mentors, Allie, Emily, Tiffany, and Ellen ...

#181 - Sneak Peek! What's New in the Pet Harmony Enrichment Framework
It’s been seven years since Canine Enrichment for the Real World came out, and you know what, you learn a lot in 7 years. After teaching hundreds, if not thousands, of people how to use the Pet Harmony Enrichment Framework, Allie and Emily kept seeing the same breakdowns happen in the same places, and decided it was time to update the framework. Because when you know better, you do better. Behind the scenes, with our PETPro members, we’ve been trialing and evaluating the update, and now...

#180 - 5 Things That Burn Out Pet Professionals
You didn’t get into animal care work because you wanted an easy career. You got in because you care about animals and the people who love them, well past the point of convenience and ease. In this episode, Emily and Ellen name five patterns we see (and have personally lived) that wear pet professionals down: no client boundaries, no safe space for hard conversations, no clear direction, skipping real self-care, and not believing in yourself. We’re talking about what’s actually happening to go...

#179 - My Dog Is Burning Me Out
“I did not sign up for this.” It’s the one little sentence that flashes in your brain as you clean up another accident, watch your dog blow up over the sounds of a car door three blocks away, or spend yet another Friday night at home alone. It’s one little sentence that sends you, and pet parents all over the world, into the pit of guilt, despair, and shame. This week, Emily is joined by Valerie Bogie, Veterinary Social Worker, Pet Harmony team member, and overall empathetic...
