Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint offers a practical approach to raising happier and more balanced Doodles through routines, mental enrichment, rest, and compassionate care tailored to each dog. What motivated you to write this book?

When I first started working with Doodles, I found a breed that was deeply misunderstood and families who felt judged every time they asked for help. Doodle parents kept telling me they had tried more exercise and even a board-and-train. I had walked that same path myself years ago, and the issues came right back home for me too. These families were doing the best with what they knew. I wrote this book to give them the missing piece, a simple daily rhythm that shows their Doodle what to do all day long.

Drawing on your more than 50,000 hours of experience with Doodles, what inspired you to make daily structure the foundation of your training philosophy?

Those 50,000+ hands-on hours came through my in-person Doodle care business, which became my lab. It’s where I tried and tested what works for these dogs. The pattern was hard to miss. When a Doodle’s day was predictable, behavior got easier almost across the board. Doodles are smart and very tuned in to their people. When they don’t know what comes next, they fill the gaps with their own ideas, like jumping or a lap around the couch. A steady routine answers that question for them. Training sessions matter, but the day itself is where most of the learning happens.

What misconceptions do Doodle owners most commonly have about mental stimulation and rest?

The biggest one is “a tired dog is a good dog,” so the answer must be more running. Lots of fetch and long runs can build a fitter athlete who needs even more next week. Sniffing and food puzzles tire the brain in a way that calms the body. The second misconception is about sleep. Many Doodles need far more rest than their families expect, and an overtired Doodle often looks like a hyper one, a lot like a toddler who skipped a nap. When a bright Doodle doesn’t get enough to do for their brain, they’ll find their own entertainment.

You organize the day around the Morning Flow, Midday Reset, and Evening Wind-Down. Which transition typically presents the greatest challenge for owners, and why?

The Evening Wind-Down, which most Doodle parents know as the witching hour. It’s the busiest hour in most homes. Everyone comes home, and dinner is underway, and the Doodle has been waiting all afternoon for the fun to start. Parents are tired right when their Doodle is the most wound up, and that’s when the zoomies show up. The fix is planning for that hour ahead of time, with a sniffy walk or an enrichment activity before the busy stretch and the same calm cue and cozy spot every night. When the evening looks the same every day, the Doodle learns that this is when we wind down.
