Alix & Buster

I'm a professional dog trainer and reactive dog owner. My mission is to help you live a better, more active life with your reactive dog. Aside from dogs, I'm obsessed with The Golden Girls, coffee, and getting out in nature.

Do you love reading and dogs? Well, let’s combine those things!

Next month I’m launching Books & Woofs - a virtual book club for dog owners and dog professionals who want to read books about dogs to expand their own knowledge and discuss the book with like-minded people.

What this will look like:
💬A dedicated Discord server so everyone can chat together
🫶🏻 Regular check-ins from me to help motivate you to read (because we can all use some motivation!)
📸 Live read-a-thons! I’ll go live here on IG and/or on TikTok so that we can read together and chat in real time! These will most likely be on the weekend, and possibly on weekday evenings.

I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile, but the time to actually kick it off is now!

If you’re interested and ready to join, go to the 1️⃣ link in my bio to select which book you want to read for September! The book with the most picks will win!

If you haven’t filled out my original survey before, please fill out the 2️⃣ link in my bio! These are more general questions that will give me more information for future months.

I hope to see you all there!

🎶Guess who’s back? Back again. The podcast is back. Tell a friend!

We are starting off 2023 strong by bringing the podcast back!

I never intended to take such a long break, but life happens 🫠🫣

I love to write (obviously), but I have a mega soft spot for my podcast. It’s so much fun to record (maybe because I’m actually naturally a very quiet person).

It only feels right to bring the podcast back with the trendy topic of 5 thoughts as pet owners that we are leaving behind in 2022.

2023 is the year to leave behind those negative thoughts so that you can do more with your dog, advocate for them, and just live better lives together.

▶️Link in bio to listen to the full episode!

What are you leaving behind in 2022?

✨2023✨

If you don’t walk with your dog in the woods on New Years Day, are you even celebrating New Years Day correctly?

The past 1.5 weeks have been nothing but stress and worry. It felt nice to walk in the woods on a freakishly warm day and at least momentarily have zero stress and anxiety.

Buster is doing much better, and I’ve done a lot of reflecting the past couple weeks and have some high hopes for 2023!

I do have a couple of Buster/dog specific goals in 2023!
✅Provide some form of enrichment daily, even if it’s a Kong or a 5 minute treat scatter in the grass.
✅Set up a fitness journal and quality of life tracker for Buster. He’ll be 11 in March 😭, and staying flexible and mobile is one of the most important things for aging dogs.
✅Start a dog book club! (This IS coming in 2023! You can head to the link in my bio to fill out my dog book club form if you want more info!)

Basically, I want to focus on his physical condition and keeping his mind sharp. As he gets older, these are the things that will keep him in tip top shape and keep him young and spunky.

Do you have any specific goals for your dog? Tell me!

Today is 10 weeks seizure free for Buster, and I finally feel like I am starting to float back down to earth.

Seizures and epilepsy in dogs is a whole other level of anxiety and madness that you don’t understand unless you live with it.

It’s truly a fearful life. You wake up terrified it might happen while you’re gone. You go to sleep terrified you’ll be woken up in the middle of the night to one. You can’t even so much as change your laundry detergent without the fear that a new one might cause your dog to have a seizure.

It freaking sucks. And in most cases, epilepsy and seizures are manageable. Your dog can live a long life with occasional seizures, but that fear and the “what if” will never go away. But obviously, the goal is always as few seizures as possible for as long as possible, and it can become an obsession to fixate on what to do to get to that point.

So today, I am very happy for my little dog and will scream from the damn rooftops about the power of holistic medicine.
