Ep 221 // Honoring Our Dogs as Spiritual Guides with Eddie Peña of Critical Thinking Dog Services
In this episode, I welcome Eddie Peña from Critial Thinking Dog Services. Eddie was born in East LA, grew up in the city of Lincoln Heights, and I currently lives in Chino Hills, CA.
He’s been working with dogs all his life and has been professionally training dogs since 2015.
As a dog trainer, Eddie helps build communication, confidence, obedience, and clear boundaries to cultivate healthy relationships for dogs and their owners so they can live confidently together in any environment.
Eddie’s philosophy is creating balance and trust through relationship-based dog training. One of his famous catch phrases is “less correction and more direction”.
Eddie’s work is medicine for the community! He believes that we build long term guidance, leadership, communication skills, and confidence when we help children understand how to clearly communicate and build a relationship with dogs. For adults, Eddie provides clarity around their dog’s behaviors and traits that they may be misinterpreting or overthinking. Eddie helps his clients understand that dogs need us more than we need them before we start to form expectations from them. He is passionate about providing clarity for the whole community in how to guide our companions and believes that if we guide them now, they will guide us into our spiritual home later! Ometeotl!
