I started training my two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Nairobi and Sheila, in the sport of dog agility and soon found that I was learning as much, if not more, than my dogs. I began a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery that would impact every area of my life.

The sport of dog agility is the perfect backdrop for personal transformation. Both dogs and their handlers face “obstacles.” There’s competition, teamwork and communication involved. There are achievable goals and constant failures. It’s a race against time. To do it well, you have to be flexible and assertive. In short, it’s just like life.

Becoming the “alpha dog” in my life meant assuming a leadership position, accepting the consequences of my actions and facing life’s obstacles with courage and creativity. And I learned it all from my dogs.

My dogs are my Secret my Four Agreements my Eat Pray Love and my Power of Now.
