I Said I’d Never Do This: Why I Opened the Doodle Pro® Honor Society

For years, I swore I would never do this.The Doodle Pro® Honor Society was intentionally closed. You could only join if you were an alumni of one of my courses like Zoomies to Zen™ or Relaxation Protocol for Distractable Doodles™. I loved that model. It felt protected. Intentional. Deeply personal.And then something happened.While speaking at Podfest in Orlando, I found myself waving down Dr. Adam Christman, Chief Veterinary Officer of DVM360, bestselling author, and one of the most trusted veterinary voices online. What started as a funny, human moment over Doodles and Dachshunds turned into a yes that changed everything.He agreed to come teach my community.And suddenly, I couldn’t ignore the truth anymore.I’ve been gatekeeping access to world-class experts from people who love their Doodles just as much as my alumni do. Podcast listeners. Email subscribers. Longtime followers. Thoughtful, science-minded Doodle parents who want to do right by their dogs.So in this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind a decision I never thought I’d make.In this episode, I cover:Why I originally kept the Honor Society alumni-onlyThe Podfest moment that shifted everything for meHow hosting experts like Jean Donaldson and Dr. Adam Christman changed my perspectiveWhat actually happens inside the Doodle Pro® Honor Society month by monthWhy this is not a quick-fix training programWho this membership is truly for (and who it’s not)How ongoing expert access and community support changes the Doodle parenting experienceWhy I’m opening enrollment to everyone for the first time everWhat the Doodle Pro® Honor Society includes:Monthly live Q&A sessions with me for Doodle-specific training, grooming, behavior, and health questionsLive expert guest sessions with top trainers, veterinarians, authors, and behavior professionalsA growing, searchable library of 20+ hours of Doodle-specific resourcesA private community of Doodle parents who genuinely understand the chaos and the sweetnessA year-long, seasonal curriculum that layers calm, enrichment, confidence, and real-life skillsThis is ongoing support. Not pressure. Not perfection. A place to keep learning, asking questions, and feeling supported as your Doodle grows and changes.Important notes:This membership is not designed for aggression cases or severe separation anxiety that require one-on-one clinical intervention. It is also not a fit for force-based training methods.It is for Doodle parents who value science-based, positive reinforcement approaches and want real guidance that actually matches how Doodles are wired.Enrollment details:The Doodle Pro® Honor Society is open right now through February 12. After that, enrollment closes and will not reopen for several months.👉 Learn more and join here: https://thedoodlepro.com/honorsocietyIf you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, DM me on Instagram @thedoodlepro.
