16. Go Easy on Yourself. You're Doing the Best You Can

16. Go Easy on Yourself. You're Doing the Best You Can

We all want to give our Dachshunds the best life that we can. However, even I, who left my government job in 2012 to dedicate myself to my Dachshunds and helping others, can't always give 100%. The fact is, life is crazy, unpredictable, and emotionally draining at times. At the same time my senior Dachshund was experiencing a health issue, two of my most important family members were in health crisis too. Sometimes, we simply can't do the "best", and instead, have to do the best that we can for our dogs. I recorded this to remind myself but also in hopes of helping others not feel so guilty when they are forced to shift priorities. We are all doing the best that we can. Be kind to yourself.

If you need help with your Dachshund's behavior or training, sign up for a consult or training plan with me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
