Living with and caring for your dog shouldn't be stressful for either of you! We approach your day-to-day habits and teach foundational skills for mindful behaviour & true connection and communication with your dog using reward & relaxation-based techniques to resolving unhealthy and/or maladaptive dog/human dynamics. We can help you to get out of the rat race of a full-time job as your dog's obed
ience instructor/the doggy police and teach you how to actually partner with your dog for real transformation in the way you live and connect with your dog.
- Are you on the treadmill of trying to ensure that your dog is either too busy or too exhausted to bother you with their normal behaviours? Endless exercise, heavy amounts of (possibly unbalanced) play with other dogs, endless fetching, obedience and cues, and/or constant enrichment needs keep piling up in an attempt to manage your dog?
- Not sure HOW to help your puppy or dog actually become a well-behaved canine citizen that can make mindful choices on their own?
- Overwhelmed by all of the VERY conflicting information & many opinions from your well-meaning friends, family and internet "experts" that just haven't solved the problems?
- Afraid to take the risks of a typical warehouse-style, free-for-all play environment where poor associations & habits may be learned along with highly unbalanced perceptions of other dogs (eg that they're constant playthings), where your dog is just one in sea of dozens of dogs, typically being corrected or put in timeout over and over again without further guidance (only adding to their frustration) if they're having challenges
