I've been doing Building Balance as a 6 week class, 90 min sessions. Now I've had the challenge of pairing all that info down to a 1.5 hour webinar!

It's such good content, and was very hard to select the best bits and pieces from the 6 weeks. My students are loving the course!

I'm giving the webinar next week live through Raising Canine. It's $30 and live or recorded if you can't make the live. Wednesday Feb 8 at 12pm CST.

What's it all about?

Building Balance: Foundations for Relationship and Wellness

This webinar is all about learning about your dog and how to become the best human you can be for them! This is recommended for any human-dog team or anyone who coaches people and their companion animals. Not only is this critical for anyone wanting to build a strong relationship with their pet, this is my essential first-line for resolving any behavior issues.

Learning goals include: determining appropriate exercise and enrichment for your dog; how to use clear communication to improve your dog’s welfare and improve their behavior; understanding dog body language so you can build their confidence; what your body language says to your dog and how you can speed up training by modifying it.

Hope to see some of you there! :)

Do you love your dog but not their behaviour?

Introducing our new group coaching program for understanding and resolving problem behaviours.

Our Behaviour Breakthrough program includes 3 levels of online classes to give you the understanding and skills to work your dog through problematic behaviour.

Building Balance covers everything you need to know to understand your individual dog, why problem behaviours develop, how to meet your dog’s needs, how to communicate with them, and how to be a good pet parent.

Wild Child is all about training games to teach your crazy canine self control.

Big Feelings is focused on leash reactivity for dogs, the most common behaviour issue we see! After completing the online series you will be able to attend in-person leash reactivity training classes.

This program is filling fast and we have just a few spots left for the first round!

I'm launching something that I'm really excited about and I hope other people are excited about too!

I've been working on this course for what seems like forever (thanks ADHD) but it's finally planned and ready to start.

The first round starts in Jan!

Announcing my all online Behaviour Breakthrough course series. The full program contains three sets of all online live group classes.

6 week course Building Balance - Foundations for Wellness and Relationship (good for anyone or any dog!)
4 week course Wild Child - Arousal and Impulse Control (good for any dog but especially for high energy, impulsive, reactive or dogs with other problem behaviors)
3 week course Big Feelings - Leash Reactivity Foundations (specifically for leash reactive dogs)

Local people will be able to join in-person leash reactivity group classes after completing the series.

The course is designed for anyone who has a dog who doesn't fit into basic manners class. Since it's online you can join from anywhere. You can take the whole series (monthly payments and bonuses) or pay per class.

How to train your dog to look at the camera. I'm not kidding when I say this is one of this first things my dogs learn. It's quite easy!

1. Train a sit using a treat, put the treat on your dog's nose and guide their nose up and back - moving your hand slowly up and towards their tail. Pop the treat in their mouth when their bum goes down.

2. Once you can lure into a sit, practice having them hold the sit by getting them into the sit, then pulling the treat away from them for 1 second - if they hold the sit, return the treat to them..if they don't try again for a shorter amount of time. Build up the duration that they can hold the sit and watch the treat gradually.

3. Once you have enough duration, get them in the sit, pull the treat back and position the treat above the camera. Snap away! You can play around with teaching them to follow the treat with their eyes as you move your hand.

4. With repetition you will no longer need the treat in your hand, just use the same motion as a hand signal and reward when finished. Add a release cue like "all done" so they know when it's time to get out of the sit and come for their treat.

Dexter had a vet visit, so Quill got to go along for a "Happy visit". She practiced getting on and off the table and scale for treats and met all the staff.

Here they are showing off how good they are at being on the table 😂

Dexter is teaching Quill where Dr. April keeps her treats.
