The Well Oiled K9 Support Community

Let's Talk Dogs - A Community For Dog Moms

Weekly live group support, practical holistic guidance, member-only content, community conversations, and discounts that help you keep learning without turning every question into a full consultation.

Choose monthly membership for ongoing community support, or choose the yearly membership to receive the Remedies Class and Homemade Food Class at no additional cost while your annual membership is active.

You love your dog. You just need a better place to sort through the noise.

Food, allergies, gut issues, anxiety, senior dog changes, supplements, products, natural remedies, and “is this normal?” moments can get overwhelming fast.

Too many opinions

One person says chicken and rice. Another says Benadryl. Someone else says change the food. Then the internet gives you 37 tabs and no real plan.

Not every question needs a full consult

Sometimes you need quick direction, a better question, a product conversation, or help knowing which resource applies to your dog.

But some dogs need deeper support

Part of the value is learning the difference between a simple next step, a helpful guide, and a situation that deserves private support.

This is not just a library. It is a support rhythm.

Every member receives support, member-only content, community access, and discounts on guides and consulting services. Yearly members also receive the complete Remedies Class and Homemade Food Class at no additional cost. The point is not to collect more information. The point is to know what applies to your dog and where to start.

How the community works

The community is built around connection, reminders, live support, and practical direction — not random posts floating into the void.

Weekly Support

Tuesday Live Support Calls

Live Zoom calls are the heart of the community. These are group support calls where members can submit questions, listen in, learn from other dog parents, and get practical direction from Dana.

Some calls may have a theme. Some may be driven by member questions. Some may be a little bit of both.

Either way, the goal is the same: help you understand what to look at next.

Two Tuesday Lunch & Learn calls each month For members who prefer a daytime support option.
Two Tuesday evening support calls each month For members who need an after-work option.
Replay access If you cannot attend live, you can still watch the replay and follow the resource direction.
Question submission Submit focused questions ahead of the weekly call so the support is more organized and useful for everyone.

Choose the community space that works for you

Some people love Facebook. Some people do not. Members can use the space that feels easiest.

Private Facebook Group

For members who naturally check Facebook and want a familiar place for reminders, discussion, dog updates, product questions, and community conversation.

Substack Chat

For members who prefer a quieter, more organized space for community discussion and support threads.

Neither space is private 1:1 coaching. Please do not use private messages, direct email, or text for membership support. Questions should be posted in the community spaces or submitted for the weekly live calls so everyone can learn.

What you can bring to the community

This is where we talk through the “what else can I do?” moments that come up when you are trying to support your dog naturally.

Food & feeding

  • Fresh food and food transitions
  • Raw or gently cooked feeding
  • Kibble upgrades and toppers
  • Homemade food questions
  • Food labels and ingredient concerns

Common wellness questions

  • Allergies, itching, yeast, and skin support
  • Gut health, loose stool, and digestive support
  • Anxiety and nervous system support
  • Senior dog wellness and comfort
  • Seasonal support and recovery support

Natural support options

  • Supplements, herbs, and homeopathy
  • Essential oils and CBD questions
  • Product and label conversations
  • “My vet recommended this — what should I understand?”
  • “Which guide should I start with?”

For past clients

You may not need me every day. But you may still want a lower-cost way to stay connected, reminded, and proactive.

  • Monthly wellness reminders
  • Seasonal protocols
  • Product updates and discussions
  • Food and supplement conversations
  • Replay access
  • A place to ask smaller follow-up questions
  • A way to keep going without drifting back into old habits

For new members

If you are brand new to me, this is a lower-cost way to get to know my approach before booking private support.

  • Hear how I think through dog wellness
  • Ask focused questions
  • Learn from other dog parents
  • Understand what matters first
  • See when a guide may be enough
  • Learn when a deeper private review is the better fit

What every member receives

Monthly and yearly members receive the same core community support. The two full classes are added exclusively to the yearly membership.

Live group support

Weekly Zoom support with daytime and evening options throughout the month.

Community access

Access to the private Facebook group and/or Substack Chat, so you can use the community space that works best for you.

Replay access

Watch the support call replays when you cannot attend live.

Member-only content

Seasonal reminders, practical protocols, wellness topics, support resources, and the FAQ table: “What Can You Try Right Now — Until I Can Answer You?”

Member discounts

Discounts on wellness guides and consulting services when your dog needs more focused support.

Resource direction

Help finding the right guide, class, replay, or next step instead of getting lost in the library.

This community is for

  • Dog parents who want better answers than random Facebook advice
  • Past clients who want reminders and connection
  • New members who want to get to know Dana’s approach
  • Prevention-minded dog parents
  • People exploring fresh food and natural wellness
  • Dog parents who want a calmer place to ask questions

This community is not

  • Private case management
  • Emergency support
  • Custom diet formulation
  • Lab interpretation
  • Medication guidance
  • Unlimited 1:1 coaching
  • A replacement for veterinary care

My goal is teaching you to Think Differently.

My goal is to help you become a better observer, a better question-asker, and a more confident advocate for your dog. I want you to understand what may matter first, when something is simple, and when your dog deserves a deeper review.

A few questions before you join

Clear expectations make the community better for everyone.

What is the difference between monthly and yearly membership?
Both plans include live group support, community access, replays, member-only content, and discounts on guides and consulting services. The yearly membership also includes the complete Remedies Class and Homemade Food Class. Those two classes are not included with monthly membership.
Can I purchase either class without joining the membership?
Yes. You may purchase the Remedies Class or the Homemade Food Class as a stand-alone product without joining the membership.
Is this private coaching?
No. The community includes group support, education, resource direction, live calls, and discussion. It does not include private case management, custom protocols, custom diet formulation, lab interpretation, or unlimited one-on-one coaching.
Can I ask questions about my dog?
Of course, you can ask education questions, product, resources questions in the community spaces or submit questions for the live calls. Some questions can be answered directly with more info in the forum than I can provide publically. Some will be better suited for a guide or replay. Some may require private support.
What if I cannot attend the live calls?
Replays will be available so you can still learn from the weekly support calls when you cannot attend live.
Can I use Facebook instead of Substack Chat?
Yes. Members will have access to a private Facebook group for those who prefer Facebook, and Substack Chat for those who prefer that space.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, but the 7-day free trial is only available when you join through Substack.

Start Your 7-Day Free Trial
What if my dog has a complex health issue?
You are welcome in the community, but complex situations may need a private Wellness Roadmap or support package. If your dog needs deeper review, Dana will tell you clearly and kindly.

Bring the question. We’ll sort the next step.

Choose monthly membership for affordable ongoing support, or choose the yearly membership to save on the membership itself and receive both complete classes at no additional cost.
