Rei's journey to create Confidoggies
When I was little I loved dogs, yet got bitten and scratched all the time
I was the biggest animal lover!!! If there was a dog in the house I'd hang out with it rather than the humans. I would give them pats and cuddles and all my love but, I would get ignored, they'd walk away from me and sometimes even growl, scratch or bite me.
Sure they'd play with me, fetch was great, but when it came to love and friendship, they just didn't seem interested and when I tried harder, they got angry or left me. I was always feeling left out, I didn't really have any human friends, always felt connected to animals though, just couldn't figure out how to get them to be my best friends when I didn't have a ball or food in my hand.

Fast Forward to after I went to dog training school
When I grew up I went to dog training schools that showed me exactly the mistakes I was making with animals when I was a kid, and also the ways I could communicate with dogs to finally get them to like and listen to me. This was all mind blowing, everything I'd ever been taught was not right at all.
I started on my journey to learning how to become an awesome dog leader... I begun working with dogs and their humans, sharing my know how to fix the problems they were having. And teaching puppies and dogs all the different tricks I could think of. In my business as a dog trainer I got to learn from dogs themselves because at that point I could speak their language, I made so many furry friends, a lot of them liked me better than their humans, it was so cool.
I taught my son everything I knew and he would come with me to help out with some of the less dangerous dogs.
I was getting called so many times for dogs biting kids
In my business and helping families train their dogs, I was seeing kids making the same mistakes I did with dogs when I was a kid. But nobody was teaching dog communication to kids except "Ask before you pat" and "Put your hand out for them to sniff first" which can infact be sooo dangerous! I noticed they were even teaching this about therapy dogs in schools which blew my mind.
The common dog education was outdated, no-one knew the scientific ways to talk to dogs except for those who go to dog training schools and want to be dog trainers, but it is something that everyone should be learning, like right up there with stranger danger!
My son knew what to do to get a dog to like him, so he was helping out with all the nervous shy dogs. And everywhere we went, the pet store the hardware store, all the dogs would gravitate to T above the other people standing around it was super amazing.
***One day I might tell you all the stories about the dogs I've seen getting hit by cars and that even though they didn't know me, they came to me for safety and ran from everyone else around***
This is where Invisipupple started to come along with me and help
Invisipupple came with me to every dog that had kids, he and I worked together to help kids get to know their dogs, speak their language, and become best friends.
Wow the praise Pupple and i would get. I was told every time that this was a talent and i should be doing this for every kid everywhere. The huge changes i saw in the kids and their dogs relationships simply just from my teachings was astounding. The growing confidence and happiness in the kids themselves was mind blowingly beautiful. Parents were always asking me to move in because of the joy I brought out in their kids. It was such a rewarding feeling knowing that I was a part of such magical growth within families.

I noticed in the dog training industry, there is alot of blame and shame on the humans in their ways of educating dog families. Instead of just teaching, and barely any of them looked like they had fun doing it, it all just seemed lecturey and boring, which is not how kids (or anybody really) likes to learn.
I knew i had to get myself and Invispupple out there to the world of kids and families. To save lives, to prevent tragedies , but also to inspire kids to be brave and confident in themselves, to love and respect them selves as they do their animals.

Confidoggies Spawned
Set my mind to solving, to creating something that can help change the future world of dogs and human friendships. To inspire kids into strong adults.
With the help of Tyro and Invispupple and alot of support from our friends...
