About

My name is Jt Clough and I train dogs, blog, run, go to the beach, go to the mountains, have finished 9 Ironmans, swim, bike, hang out with my dogs, train people to train dogs, and practice living a life that is not 9 to 5, is balanced, have the most awesome life partner ever, am contented and have the freedom to enjoy all that is around me and within me.

I have creatively worked for myself through coaching others most of my life.  Dogs are a reflection of who we are inside, emotionally and this insight gives me great benefit in what I write about, practice and teach.

Being an athlete all of my life and have been coached by some of the best mentors in my sport at the time.  It gave me the motivation to mentor others to achieve success and ultimately develop a lifestyle of health, fitness and balance.   Fitness and health have been a part of my life since, well pretty much forever.

My 2 dogs are active.  Most dogs want to be active.  My purpose in writing about dogs and their habits, behavior and training is to help people find an outlet for their dog to be the most loyal, fit, well behaved partner you’ll ever have…. and to find the fun within yourself while doing it.

Why Should You Want to Hear What I Have to Say?

I have been self employed my whole adult life… yep over 25 years now!!  I’ve done a few different things, all with what I consider to be great success.  From owning an advertising agency to dog training to my lifelong endeavor of fitness and health, the last few years all of these things have come together in comments from those I train with, coach, teach or mentor:  I’ve made a difference in their lives.

Now that is inspirational!
