A dog is never being stubborn. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿพ

If a behavior falls apart, itโ€™s a signal โ€” their nervous system may be overloaded, they may feel unsafe, or their body might be hurting. What looks like โ€œrefusalโ€ is really communication.

Resilience isnโ€™t built by pushing through. Itโ€™s built by noticing when the system says โ€œI canโ€™t,โ€ and creating the safety, support, and recovery that make learning possible. ๐Ÿ’œ

When we shift the story from โ€œstubbornโ€ to โ€œstruggling,โ€ we stop blaming dogs and start meeting their needs โ€” and thatโ€™s where welfare and true progress live.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Next time your dog hesitates, ask: what support do they need right now?

Some clients come to me already knowing their dog has separation anxiety or isolation distress, because it's been diagnosed by a vet. But many others are confused and unsure - is your dog experiencing separation anxiety or just having normal "dog stuff" going on?

My self-paced course, Separation Anxiety Training Foundations is a cost-effective solution for those not ready to embark on a one on one training program or for those who need guidance on determining if their dog has separation anxiety of other issues. Read more about what this incredible course offers below.

Our Story

We as our dogโ€™s caregivers want to create an environment in which our dogs will be set up for success and where both parties are having fun doing so! This can be done by creating an easily understandable and predictable sequence of events. For example dogs need rules and clear boundaries to understand what is expected of them. A calm and fair handler will in turn nurture a calm and reliable dog. In my training I use a lure and reward method of training. The lure helps in the acquiring of skills and the reward (treat/toy/praise) helps reinforce the skill just learned. When the dog understands the command the reward allows him/her to know the action was correct. There will be corrections being done in the form of, the removal of the treat, praise, or toy. A leash correction may be done but only if the handler is certain that the dog knows the command but hasnโ€™t followed through.
