This is a shout out to everyone who feels like they didn't do enough with their dogs this year.

Everyone who didn't reach their official or unofficial training goals.

Everyone who didn't go to a training class or practice as much as they wanted.

Everyone who didn't overcome or make progress on their dog's issues.

Everyone who didn't compete or trial or title.

There's so much pressure to prove yourself as a handler and prove your dog, especially right now when everyone's posting their accomplishments. But it's okay if the only thing you did this year was enjoy your dog.

That's the whole point of having a dog, and that's more than enough.

#dogblr #maverick #i know this sounds hypocritical because i did post my accomplishments #but let me remind you that mav spent two and a half years doing NOTHING #i felt so much pressure to title and prove him that i didnt enjoy any of it #it took so long for me to like mav because i felt we werent moving fast enough #and that sucks!#so if you didnt meet your goals this year #or if you feel you didnt make enough progress #hang in there and go tell your dog you love them #if you enjoyed your dog at any point this year? you did great #good work #and do it again next year
