Spicy Dog Mama
Real talk about rescues, puppies and reactivity. 29-year-old dog mama (and toddler-mama) on a journey with my girl, Rey. A 6yr old bully breed with attitude. In 2018 I rescued a dog named Reese who changed everything I thought I knew about dogs and training. In 2019 I brought home my puppy (Rey), and shortly thereafter my now-ex moved in with his hyperactive Golden, Riley. The past five years I have grown so much as a dog mom. I trained these three VERY different dogs and learned so much about dog behaviour, reactivity, and training in general. Navigating drastic life changes, loss of pets, moving, and reactivity. I have a passion for training though I'm NO expert and continuously learning from my mistakes and from others. But I'm out here doing what is best for the dog in front of me, trying different methods to give her the most fulfilling life. I am meeting such incredible people who are helping me on this journey, and brushing off the shame and negativity that comes from others in the dog community. I'm hoping that sharing my experiences (and others') provides some hope and joy to those that listen, and maybe we can all learn some things along the way!

25 Maybe... You Shouldn't Get a Dog?
Asking the big questions this week on the Spicy Dog Mama Podcast. Should you really get a dog?
A friend of mine has the dilemma of her husband really wanting a dog, and she's stuck between wanting him to have that and knowing she will have to do most of the work as a stay at home month with 3 kids.
When she told me she didn't know if she even wanted one, it made me want to scream "don't do it!" As a dog lover, I will always think of what is best for the dog and they deserve to be loved and wanted, not tolerated.
Now hear me out, if they got a dog, she would love it so much. She would be an amazing dog owner. But it would be so much on her already quite full plate. It made me want to discuss the ins and outs of dog ownership and whether or not it's the right decision for everyone out there. There are so many considerations when you think about getting a dog from breeds to finances.
So on this episode, I'm playing devil's advocate and telling you why you should NOT get a dog.
