14. Bootcamp and Shadow - discussed with Veronica

It was the relationship with my dog really changed.

And it's especially noted now that I'm home with all three of them.

He's very, very clingy.

But not in a nervous, clingy, anxious way.

We're a team now.

We hang out together.

And he does tell the girls that it's his space.

And I do have to be like, no, it's everyone's space, Dutch.

Before, though, he was kind of last man on the totem pole, so to speak, wasn't he?

Yes.

And his status has been elevated a little bit now and he's holding on to it?

Yes.

He's more secure.

He belongs here now.

There was an awkward moment when I got home and he and the head bitch decided they were going to spar.

Oh, no.

But I knew exactly what to do.

Good.

Good.

Awesome.

Well done.

Is it stuff from Shadow Week that you will take and use into your business?

Well, today was my first day back.

I don't want to say I went in with the headspace that I'm not going to take any shit from my dog clients but that might have been where I was but they were so good Monique like they tried nothing we had the nicest walks I've ever had with these dogs and they're all very different in their their behaviors but yeah I I don't know if it's a confidence or they felt it in me I don't know but they were so good

Do you remember in schools when we used to have substitute teachers come?
