Allie, we’re all human, we all make mistakes, and fail just as much and if not more than we win. It’s what we do after that that matters. I think that you’re a great trainer that cares tremendously when it comes to dogs and their well-being. That you only want what is best for dogs and their owners. That shows in the conviction and passion in the videos that you submit every week. This FSDT community that Mike has created is a family. Are we always going to agree on things, no, but we always pick each other up and have each other’s backs. Professional trainers and great owners in this community do not have thin skin and can take constructive criticism. We are our toughest critic and remember to give yourself a break. We all experience burnout in this industry. Self-care is paramount in making sure we stay healthy so that we can run our business and still have a passion for what we do. At any rate that’s just my two cents. Keep being an awesome advocate and teacher for dogs and owners.
