Villa sees something on the horizon. It’s big. Impactful. Exciting.

Tomorrow, I open the doors to my mentorship membership.
Not a course.
Not an overstuffed portal of pre-recorded videos you’ll never watch.

Real-time support for dog trainers.
Mentorship should be accessible.

It’s almost time.

Lately I’ve been craving connection—the real kind, with other humans (trainers, weirdos, kindred spirits).
I miss the magic of workshops and conferences… the laughs, the deep convos, the shared nerd joy.
So I’m cooking up something cozy, soulful, and a little old-school.

More soon.

Reliability = surprise. Engagement = hope, history, big picture.

Training lives in the little moments.

On a walk, I hid a toy in my jacket. Called Ferro’s casual cue—he turned, surprise tug game! Later, I snuck it away. Then did it again.

That’s how you win a dog over. Be fun! Surprise ‘em!

Nothing beats the English countryside in the spring time!

If you’re burnt out, feeling overwhelmed, disorganized, aimless, or isolated… it doesn’t have to be that way. I know how it is and I’ve got you covered. Mentorship is what I plan to dedicate the rest of my career to — being in service of other dog pros and the deeply curious enthusiasts.

Thank you I mean, I guess I should’ve figured that because I see links everywhere it would not work for me for some reason.

It’s time for me to blend my to passions. I’ve started a blog! I guess we can’t share links on this platform but it’s at Kelly Dunbar Dog Training, if you’d like to check it out. x

Thank you! 😊

Pro tip to up your dog training game and improve your relationship with your dog — stop thinking in terms of rate of reinforcement and start focusing on rate of feedback. Otherwise known as communication. Emote! Expression and tone are your best tools. Relationship will get you EVERYWHERE.

Stormy Saturday! Rain does not deter us.

Getting Hundi here was the biggest pain in the ass of the entire venture! But.. now I know how to do it, so let me know when you’re ready! x

Thank you! We’re having a blast.

The Spanish adventure continues! Do you have any questions about making such a big transatlantic move with 6 dogs? Just the thought of doing so nearly held me back, I’m so glad I took the leap !

Thanks, Kris! 🥰

Thanks! 😊

Easier to get over to see all my favorite UK dog people!

Thanks! 😘

Thank you! I hope to see you and your amazing dude in the not too distant future.

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you! Smooches right back to our beautiful and sweet girl. 😘💗

Better late than never! The big reveal. 👀

Soon!

I’m behind! I know. Soon.

Very cool!

Yesterday we finally got WiFi at the new HQ. I also took my first meeting of 2025 and had one-to-one sessions with a few rockstars from my mentorship program. It’s starting to feel like home! I’m going to spill the beans on where right here on Bluesky later today!

Great to see you! 😘

He’s so happy! In his element as a property guardian.

Villanelle!

It’s a big step. We can all do better if we’re mindful. Instead of accepting what they serve up.

There are other ways to collectively let them feel our disapproval too, such as hiding ads, not clicking ever on ads or buttons or links and just dramatically limiting our time on social media .

Mission accomplished. Much to tell. But first taking the slightest of pause just to let everybody settle in.
