Lessons From My Dog Gunner

Lessons From My Dog Gunner® explores leadership from an unexpected perspective—the other end of the leash.

Through stories, observations, and real-world leadership lessons inspired by Gunner, Maria Pietroforte shares practical insights on trust, communication, judgment, performance, resilience, purpose, and the power of presence.

These aren’t dog-training lessons. They’re leadership lessons about how we show up, build trust, read the environment, make better decisions, develop others, and become people others can count on.

Follow the trail through:
• Leadership lessons and stories
• Trail Journal podcast episodes
• Practical tools for leaders and teams
• Lessons in trust, accountability, communication, resilience, and performance

Sometimes the best leadership lessons come from the most unexpected teachers.
