The deciding factor: what’s the most important factor behind your success?

By sticking to my values, I feel as though a genuine message can be read or felt through the work that I produce. I have always sought out projects and people that will push my boundaries, and do so in a supporting way that allows me to grow. Read more>>
The most important factor for us is to always keep an open mind and to approach each dog and their owner with a completely open mindset. We strongly believe that every dog is different, and we therefore wish to offer a training approach that is uniquely customized to help the dog become a well-behaved, balanced pet. Our training approach is therefore never based on a technique or method, but rather combines the relevant parts of such methods to fit the individual dog, based on the temperament and disposition of the animal. We also place huge emphasis on teaching the owners. Any trainer can get quick results from the animal, because dogs eagerly learn and adjust. It’s by teaching the pet owner more effectively communicate with their dog, that lasting results are possible. Read more>>

When I say, I offer book coaching and editing with honesty and heart, I mean it, and I do my level best to show up and do that every single day with every single client. Read more>>
Very early on into my venture I made the decision to be as transparent with my instagram followers as possible. No matter the outcome of my days whether they were failures or successes I felt it was important to let everyone connect to the luanas story. Doing so I built a safe place for myself and others to share their own entrepreneurial experiences, laugh at my screw ups, ask questions, or simply congratulate me on a successful day. With all that my brand naturally meant more to my customers and supporters. People love a good story, especially one they were there for. Read more>>
