The Connection
Hey there! Welcome to The Connection.
My name is Lauren and I have been training dogs for years. Through my training sessions I often form connections from my clients/dog to things in the world of faith and family.
If you are not a person of faith, no worries! I wasn't at one point either so I promise you'll feel welcomed here! You might actually find this faith filled podcast refreshing since a conversation about God isn't being preached from a pulpit or conversed about in a pues. Just a dog trainer with mic and a whole lot of stories and experiences of "Connecting" to God and why the heck it even matters.
Are you a person who has a thriving faith, buckle up as we have hard conversations with the goal of digging our faith roots even deeper so we will be able to withstand the hardest of storms in life.
Are you a parent of little ones? If so, get ready to be poured into with encouragement and practical advice. (Advice that I have picked up from people who are much smarter than I. Honestly, half of my brain cells are fried from the sleepless nights and toddler tantrums, but I have always been able to regurgitate great content to others when I hear it.)
Not a parent? Don't you worry! Although often time I will be giving examples from my perspective from a mom of small children, the overall principles apply to anyone in any area of leadership. This is a place where we talk about discipline, why it matters, and how to get it right.
Dog lover? Yes! Let's go!
As owner of Rock Kennel Training, and serving pet owners for almost 15 years, I am continuously humbled with the fact that I don't know it all, however... I have accumulated years and years of experiences, data, trends, and stories that I hope help set you free.
I will also be talking extensively about my passion for balanced dog training (and if you're a "force-free warrior", please know you are loved despite our vastly different views of how to help a dog become the best version of themselves. I hope you'll stick around to hear a logical conversation seasoned with grace and empathy opposed to the conversations that left you with battle wounds from heated and hurtful arguments.)
All in all, thank you for joining me! I look forward to chatting with you every other Friday for heart felt stories, compelling and motivating content, and hopefully a chuckle or two as my dramatic, theatrical, and inner cheerleader self starts to sneak out.

We Don't Know What They Need
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you leading in any capacity? Trying to help someone? Want to love well?
There is huge problem.
At the end of the day, we don't really know what they truly need from us because the heart is hidden. We can't see or detect the nitty gritty behind the scenes details driving their behavior.
So whether your a dog momma, parent, teacher, coach, or just someone who wants to help others, there is amazing news for you today. There IS a person who does know. Someone who can tell you exactly what's going on and how you should approach the behavior of that person or dog.
Of course the answer here isn't a new app or some unique google search, it's God!
But before you roll your eyes, here me out. It doesn't matter if you call yourself a Christian because no matter your beliefs, no matter your stage and experiences in life, God ALWAYS wants to have open communication with you. Always.
So I just want to encourage you, it's never too late, it's never to random of a topic. Just start talking to Him today.
He will tell you what's really going on, behind the scenes with the ones you love. Because after all, He is the only one who does.
