 Sold Out at Sea: How Doodle Parents Helped Launch a #1 Bestseller

Podcast Transcript Summary:
Corinne shares the incredible story of how Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint became a #1 Amazon bestseller—and the surreal moment she ran out of copies at a cruise ship book signing. She also announces the return of the free Doodle Parent Challenge™, starting September 5.

Hey Doodle lovers—it’s Corinne here, and I’ve missed you.

It’s been a little quieter than usual on The Doodle Pro® Podcast over the past couple of months. If you've been wondering where I’ve been or why your feed has felt a bit too silent, I promise—I didn’t disappear.

I’ve just been living a dream. And today, I finally get to share it with you.

📘 A Book Written for Doodle Parents—By a Doodle Parent

Back in May, I launched my first book: Your Doodle’s Daily Schedule Blueprint. It’s a science-backed guide based on over 50,000 hours of real-life experience with Doodles—boarding them, training them, and living with them just like you do.

The response? Honestly, it blew me away.

The book became a #1 New Release in over five Amazon categories and hit the Top 5 Bestseller list in five more. We charted in Dog Training, Pet Care, Animal Behavior, Puppy Training, and more.

I had to check the screen twice to believe it.

🛳️ Then I Took the Books to Sea…

A few weeks later, I boarded a cruise with my boys. I brought a small stack of books, thinking I might sign a copy or two or maybe gift one if I met a fellow dog lover.

What actually happened?

I ran out of copies.

People lined up to ask questions. We talked Doodles, we laughed, and one by one, the books were gone.

It was surreal.

But the best part wasn’t selling out. It was that my sons were standing right there—watching it all happen. As a single mom, I’ll never forget that moment. They got to witness what happens when you stick with something, even when it’s hard. They got to see how much this book, and this community, truly means to people.

We even took some goofy cruise backdrop photos during the signing—want to see them? I shared them over on Instagram and Facebook @thedoodlepro.

🐾 This Book Isn’t Just Mine—It’s Ours

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to the 100+ members of the Doodle Insider Team—the Doodle parents, breeders, groomers, and trainers who took time to read advance copies, give feedback, and spread the word.

You believed in this book before Amazon ever ranked it.

Because of you, Doodle families around the world now have a gentle, effective roadmap to raise calmer, happier dogs—without pain, fear, or force.

🎉 So… What’s Next?

Now that I’ve taken a breath—and wiped a few happy tears off my glasses—I’m ready to tell you what’s coming next.

🗣️ I’ve got a whole stack of never-before-aired interviews with top breeders, trainers, and behaviorists—sharing real talk and actionable tools.

🐶 And most importantly… the Doodle Parent Challenge™ is BACK!

Starting September 5th, I’ll be guiding you live for 10 days inside the challenge group.
