How Transcendent Trainers came to be...

Over the years of being a dog sport enthusiast and a dog show exhibitor I began to notice what people choose to wear at those events and the message they try to convey. Over those same years I've seen that there aren't a lot of wearable positive things for us dog people that strengthen us as trainer & handlers. There are a ton of shirts and stuff out there that poke fun at us and our shortcomings... things that don't build us up. I know we've all seen shirts that say "Dog Wants New Handler." or "Great Dog, Shame About the Handler." In fact, I have some of those sorts of shirts myself. If we wear those negative, self defeating messages...what does that say about what we really feel about ourselves?? Why do we project our negative self image to others around us and out to the universe? Recently, I have been doing quite a bit of work on my own self-awareness and I've learned where we are in our own head-space massively impacts training and working our dogs.
