70: Why Doodles Deserve Better: The Book That Brings Calm to Chaos

If life with your Doodle feels more chaotic than calm… this book is for you.
After 50,000+ hours working exclusively with Doodles, I’ve gathered what truly helps—from overstimulated puppies to seniors stuck in unpredictable routines. And today, I’m proud to say: Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint™ is officially here.

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how this book was born (spoiler alert: it involves my Cavapoo Nestlé sleeping on my wrist, and a 15-year-old’s brutally honest motivation). Plus, you’ll hear early reviews from readers who’ve already started seeing real change in their Doodle’s day.

Hey there, and welcome back to The Doodle Pro® Podcast.
Today is a BIG day. My brand new book, Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint™, is officially LIVE—on Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

But more than just a launch... this is a moment I’ve been building toward for years.
 And if you’ve ever felt like your Doodle was just too much or like they’d never settle down, this one’s for you.

I wrote this book after spending over 50,000 hours working exclusively with Doodles and Poodle mixes—Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, Sheepadoodles, Cavapoos—you name it.

What I saw over and over again were loving, committed Doodle parents… completely overwhelmed.

They were told:
 “Just give them more exercise.”
 “Wait it out.”
 Or the worst one:
 “That’s just how Doodles are.”

But the truth is, Doodles don’t outgrow chaos.
And it’s not about fixing them—it’s about giving them the structure and understanding they thrive on.

This book is for every Doodle parent sitting in that in-between phase—when your pup isn’t a baby anymore, but still acts like a chaos tornado… and you’re wondering if calm will ever come.

It’s also for the Doodle parent planning to bring home their new puppy...
 for the ones navigating life with a senior dog...
 for those juggling hybrid work, grandkids visiting, adding a second dog, or just figuring out how to adjust their routines with grooming appointments, seasonal changes, or a surprise vet bill.

This isn’t a set of rigid rules. It’s a flexible, science-backed blueprint—designed to fit your life, and help your Doodle thrive within it.

Now, I’d been told for years—by clients, fellow trainers, even a few book agents and publishers—that I needed to put what I’ve learned into a book.

But life was… full.

I’m a single mom—juggling work, soccer practices, carpools, theater rehearsals, homework help…
 and occasionally swinging and missing at a tennis ball while trying to survive the neighborhood mom tennis team.

So the idea of writing a book always felt like something I’d get to… someday.

But then one day, my 15-year-old looked up from his phone and said:
 “Wait—you could be an author? Well, that would actually be impressive.”

And if I had even the slightest chance to impress a 15-year-old?
I had to take it.

This book came to life in the in-between moments—
 between thousands of overnight visits with my Shed Free Stay clients,
between the zoomies and the snuggles,
between wiping paws, folding towels, and zipping up crates.

It was written with my laptop balanced on my knees,
 Doodles draped across the sofa,
 and my own Cavapoo Nestlé resting his chin on my wrist while I typed.

This wasn’t created in a writing retreat.
 It was written in the middle of real life—with the dogs who inspired it, surrounding me every step of the way.

And I wasn’t alone.

Over a hundred Doodle parents, breeders, groomers, and fellow trainers joined my early reader team—reviewing chapters, offering feedback, and making this book what it needed to be.
 To all of you: thank you. This book carries your paw prints.

Here’s what some of those early readers shared:

Gail B. told me:

“I thought we had a schedule. Then I filled out the Blueprint—and now I finally feel like I understand what my Doodle needs each day. We’re both calmer now.”

Becky Sue M. said:

“My husband and I finally agree on what our Doodle needs—he read the book and went, ‘Ohhhh… now I get it.’”

And Carol W. shared:

“We just kept waiting for our Doodle to calm down—thinking it was a phase or something we had to survive. This book showed me that the calm doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from a plan. And now we have one.”

That’s what this is about—not perfection. Just a grounded, loving way to help your Doodle—and yourself—exhale.

Inside the book, you’ll find:

• Age-specific routines for puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors
• Sample schedules for work-from-home families, busy households, and apartments
• A breakdown of why more exercise isn’t always the answer
• Science-based strategies grounded in positive reinforcement
• And printable tools you can actually use—right away

This is the book you keep in your kitchen drawer or beside the crate—not on a shelf collecting dust.

You can order your copy now—paperback is the most popular option, and I wrote it to be one you can highlight, dog-ear, and keep right next to your leash or treat pouch.

Kindle and hardcover are available too—but paperback is the format I imagine sitting on your counter, helping you through the day.

And for today and tomorrow only (that’s Tuesday and Wednesday), I’m keeping the preorder bonuses open a little longer.

If you order now, you’ll still get:

• A private podcast that walks you through how to use the Blueprint
• Access to a live Q&A with me this Thursday (or the replay if you can’t make it)
• Printable schedule templates
• And a few launch-only surprises

Thank you for being here, for cheering this book into the world, and for loving your Doodle enough to learn with them.

This community is proof that training can be kind, calm is possible, and Doodles don’t have to be misunderstood.

They just need to be seen.

With love and a wag,
