This 3-day challenge guides you through your dog mom Hero’s Journey with the knowledge, tools, and answers you need to launch your new relationship with your dog.

You'll receive the knowledge you need to understand your dog and your relationship on a whole new level as we explore the “4 Pillars" and the “5 Stages” you’ll need for simple and sustainable success. -
THE TOOLS
We will also provide you with worksheets, cheat sheets, and other tools to help you take the first steps with clarity and ease and help you stay on course toward your heart-dreams with your dog. -
THE ANSWERS
Every day we will not only teach and coach you through the content of that day but also answer all your questions around nurturing cooperation and a partnership life with your dog.
You will experience behavior breakthroughs during this workshop ... AND you'll leave with your own customized roadmap for your transformational journey with your dog.
Day 1: “Finding The Wizard”
In this first live training, I’ll introduce you to what it means to be a dog mom on the Hero’s Journey…guiding you to understand the root causes of reactive behavior and what it takes to break free of that cycle. You’ll discover that today’s dog moms are building their relationships with their dogs differently – in a more loving, kind and consensual way that is simple, and that works in real life.
As Stephen Covey famously said, “Begin with the End in Mind.” And that’s exactly what we are going to do…
Get clear on what trust between a dog mom and her dog is REALLY, so that you can stop the trust leaks that lead to more and more reactive, anxious, difficult behavior.
By the time you finish this first workshop:
- You’ll have a clear vision that serves as your north star, so that you can follow the framework to begin with the end in mind.
- Understand social co-regulation and how to simply influence your dog to naturally behave cooperatively, without training.
- You'll know how to easily make informed decisions about what you and your dog need to thrive on a day to day basis.
- You’ll get clarity about what exactly causes your dog (and you) to get triggered or stressed, and our framework for freedom from the reactivity spiral.
Day 2: "The Journey to Oz"
The second workshop is all about connecting with your allies for your journey to partnership with your dog. You’ll discover how to navigate through the common relationship and miscommunication struggles that cause worry, stress and difficult behavior. We’re going to break down the three core needs that you and your dog must have met in order to truly thrive, and the actual plan that will make that happen.
You and your dog will enjoy your ‘first dance’ on the road to partnership, then you’ll discover how to tap into the ‘powers’ you and your dog already innately have to overcome your most pressing behavior challenge. And any other challenges too!
At this workshop:
- You’ll map out your ideal daily routine for you and your dog using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the Big 3 Needs for all social mammals, like you and your dog.
- Discover the #1 Mistake that teaches your dog NOT to come when you call, and what to do instead.
- Enjoy your first ‘Dance’ with your dog and learn the method that transforms you into a Love Magnet that is an irresistible force of nature that pulls your dog directly into your hands and heart every time you call.
- Identify one of your biggest behavior challenges and use the superpowers that you and your dog already possess to resolve it for good.
Day 3: “Getting Back Home”
Home is where the heart is, and for real: ‘there’s no place like home’. Day 3 is all about mapping your personalized journey to the beautiful Emerald City where you’ll find your own magic slippers and make your way home again, where all your heart-dreams can come true.
We’re going to bring it all together into your own customized RoadMap that guides you to “walk in partnership” with your dog through all five partnership stages using the Tree of Trust framework, and the RAPID Results formula.
At the end of this third workshop, you’ll walk away with:
- Understanding your current partnership gaps using our PQ Quiz assessment. We need to know where we are so that we can map a plan to get to our north star destination.
- The RAPID Results Formula framework that you’ll use to identify one struggle with your dog, and create a breakthrough outline with the formula.
- The 5 Stages of Partnership, and understanding of the common obstacles at each stage, and what to focus on so that you can level up quickly.
- Your custom Partnership Journey Roadmap that starts where you are now, and guides you through toward “Home”, where your heart always is, and where your dreams are realized.
A Personal Message from Kathy...
I've been building partnerships with my dogs for a lifetime. Puppies I've raised, adults I've rescued, dogs that no one wanted and dogs that were said to be 'untrainable' and hopeless.
Each and every dog was a blessing, and ALL of my dogs became amazing companions, world-class partners in dog sports like agility and herding, and the best teachers ever!
25+ years of working professionally with over 2800 dogs and their families in over 30 countries around the world has taught me sooooo much! I've put together the exact ingredients that create a trusting, loving, attentive and responsive relationship with a dog ... instead of one built on transactions, unable to stand up to ordinary challenges of modern life.
This free Journey to Partnership challenge workshop is your first step to a life of cooperation with your dog.
I am eager to be your guide and help you get started! My mission is to help a million dog moms and their dogs become brilliant partners, so I hope you take advantage of this free workshop - it's my gift to you!!
For the love of dogs,Kathy xo

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this 3-Day Challenge Workshop for?
Any dog mom who wants to learn how to create a joyful, trusting, loving partnership life with their dogs that results in better behavior, a better bond, and a brilliant relationship. Even if your dog is reactive, over-aroused, anxious, difficult ... and even if you have tried 'everything' and nothing has worked.
Who is this training not for?
Dog parents looking for a quick fix of their dog's behavior instead of nurturing lifelong natural cooperation; or those looking for a dog training or behavior modification technique that focuses on getting dogs to do what we want without high regard for the dog's deeper needs and preferences; or a dog mom who is not interested in exploring a personal development growth mindset while staying curious about how to be a brilliant partner for and with their dogs.
What if I enjoy training my dog ... will I have to stop my positive reinforcement training?
Absolutely not! In fact, you'll find that your level of success will dramatically increase when you build on this holistic partnership focused relationship foundation! The sport, performance, and working dog training that you love is the bonus fun stuff we get to truly enjoy when we have a brilliant partnership with our dogs!
What if I can't attend the Live classes?
While attending live is recommended, we know that's not always possible with our world-wide audience. We will have replays available for you to watch when it works for your schedule. The replays will be available to stream at your convenience until June 30th.
How does the challenge workshop work?
Each day, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, we will have a live training session at 2pm CDT (Chicago time). That will be immediately followed by a live Q+A and coaching session at 3pm CDT, all in the same class. Each day you are encouraged to complete the daily workbook assignment and ask any questions you have in the challenge popup Facebook group.
But seriously, why are you doing all of this for FREE?
This is the first time we are running this challenge workshop, and we are offering it for free. We're thinking about turning this into a paid challenge later.
Our main motivation to do this workshop is to better support our members in our Brilliant Dog Foundation Builders $7/mo membership, and in our $49/mo Brilliant Partners Academy coaching membership, and our Relationship Rehab Intensive ($777/yr) coaching program.
There's something so magical and special about a live experience like this that helps our members stay inspired and helps them to fill any gaps in their understanding. And it gives us an opportunity to continue to level up our teaching content as we spread the ripples of what is possible with a true and brilliant partnership to dog parents who may be struggling right now with their dog -- or who just love the idea of kind, compassionate, consensual, and loving cooperation with their dogs instead of relying on training, rewards, behavior modification or corrections.
We will also offer the opportunity to continue to work with us in one of our established programs (mentioned above) to the dog moms in this workshop challenge. Of course, there is absolutely no obligation or pressure of any kind, that would not be aligned with our core values. But, we would absolutely LOVE to support every dog mom who can use a kind and caring guide on this journey to brilliant partnership.
Kathy and the Dancing Hearts team are committed to the vision of a safe, calm and happy life for dogs and those who care for them as deeply as we do. The success of our members is our passion and our mission. xo
