In this last episode of our second season, we explore the remarkable journey of Beth MacLeod, a devoted dog lover and professional trainer living just outside Boston, United States.

With a lifelong passion for dogs, Beth shares how a single book transformed her approach to dog training in the late '90s, leading to a career dedicated to enhancing the bond between dogs and their people.

"What I thought a dog was, became something totally different." Since then, Beth MacLeod has been devoted to changing people's perspectives. She serves as the Director of Training and Behavior at a local humane society and runs a business focused on helping dogs and their owners overcome behavioral challenges.

Having lived with dogs almost all her life, she currently shares a home with three beloved dogs: two Goldens and a senior Pekingese, who all play a central role in her dreams and daily life.

This episode delves into the philosophy that dogs are more than pets; they are friends and family members who fill our lives with joy. Our guest emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting dogs for who they are, fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect, and how OneMind Dogs has helped her on this journey.

Listen to the episode and get inspired by stories of personal growth, the transformative power of positive reinforcement, and great stories from her experiences as a behaviorist and work at the local humane society.

In this heartwarming episode, we journey into the life of Georgia Denham, a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother living on the scenic Gold Coast in Southeast Queensland, Australia.

Georgia's story is a celebration of lifelong passions, representing her deep-rooted love for her Border Collies and the art of dance. Having grown up surrounded by family dogs, it was the past 25 years that truly deepened her commitment to her dogs, embarking on a rewarding path of discovery and mutual growth with them.

Georgia, a self-described perfectionist, approaches life with full dedication, whether it's nurturing her dogs or indulging in her passions. When she started learning OneMind Dogs' way of training, she instantly loved the feeling of connection. She dedicated herself to learning independently online and training each technique in her small garden with only one jump. Georgia proves that you’re never too old to learn something new!

She mentioned that one of her biggest learnings has been: “Until you know as a handler what to do, don’t go and take your dog to train”.

Beyond the world of dog agility and training, Georgia holds a special place in her heart for dance. Her dance journey began at the tender age of five with ballet, which laid the foundation for her lifelong love affair with dance. Georgia's motto, "Never stop Dancing," summarizes her philosophy of life, embodying the joy and fulfillment she finds in both her artistic and canine endeavors.

Throughout the episode, Georgia shares her inspiring story of how she fell in love with dog agility and how understanding the dog’s perspective has positively impacted her life. Jump into the episode and hear the highlights of her life and what Georgia has learned from her dogs!
