In this episode, I’m talking to Mikkel Becker who is a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant.

As a kid she dreamed of becoming an animal trainer and a TV reporter. She ended up doing just that now and creates tons of great videos and articles about dog training. You’re about to hear her advice on getting comfortable in front of the camera, dealing with criticism and how to be authentic on video.

I love this conversation so much because it’s really equal parts business and dogs!

For the second half of this interview, Mikkel shares some timely advice on working through separation anxiety with your dog – a challenge many people are facing due to Covid.
