Empowered Puppy
Welcome to theEmpower Your Puppy Podcast hosted by Jeanette Forrey of 4E Kennels! Join Jeanette as she educates owners on how to continue empowering their puppies to ensure they become balanced and fulfilled dogs. Honoring puppies in their placement and respecting the client’s needs makes for a magical match and keeps dogs in their home for the entirety of their life. Unfortunately, humans don't always communicate with dogs correctly which causes a very unhappy relationship and dogs that are very misunderstood. Jeanette is also on a mission to train breeders and educate the public on how and where to buy so that puppy mills and backyard breeders are defunded. Our dogs deserve more.
