78: From Chaos to Calm: What We Actually Do Inside Zoomies to Zen™
I missed you last week — but for the best reason! I was busy loving on more than 150 Doodle parents inside my Doodle Parent Challenge: Motivation Edition. We spent the week talking about how to break the “Trust Fund Puppy” cycle and what really motivates our Doodles to listen. And wow… the breakthroughs were incredible! In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my signature program, Zoomies to Zen™ — the only Doodle-specific training course designed to transform chaos into calm without fear, frustration, or force. You’ll hear exactly what we do inside the six-week experience — from teaching Doodles to stop jumping and calm down on cue, to building focus, impulse control, and connection that lasts a lifetime. I’m also sharing real success stories from Doodle parents like Rebecca, Nancy, and Anna who turned their wild, overstimulated doodles into calm, confident companions. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve tried everything and nothing works for my Doodle,” this episode is for you. ✨ Doors to Zoomies to Zen™ close at midnight EST on October 16th, and won’t open again for another 6 months! Join me now at thedoodlepro.com/zoomiestozen — I’d love to personally guide you and your Doodle from zoomies… to zen. 🐾
