It is not just who is the dog, it is also who is the handler.
How does this relationship work?
What makes both ends of the leash happy?
And what is in conflict? And why?
And that is what makes RAT: Relationship Assessment Tool so powerful. RAT lets you see in just minutes what the framework of the relationship is, and lets you as a trainer help them more easily. It is not about the skills the dog and the handler have, it is about the connection.
RAT: Relationship Assessment Tool Certification opens in February, and you can save $125 with Early Bird Dog pricing available through January 12th. You can register here: https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/rat-feb25
Want to learn more? We have two FREE RAT Q&As coming up - one Thursday, January 9th at 3pm, and another Friday, January 10th at 8pm. You can sign up for those here: https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/rat_q_&_a

How could that be affecting their behavior? Their training? Their life?

Do you need help to SEE THE DOG?
How about a framework to SEE THE RELATIONSHIP between handler and dog?
Two great courses are starting in February, designed to help you do just that - and you can enjoy Early Bird Dog Pricing now through January 12th!
Intro to CARAT: SAVE $50 and get it now for just $325!
CARAT takes a detailed view of the individual dog as a unique combination of many factors working together to influence, exacerbate, mitigate and enhance each other. In the profile created by the nuances and specifics of this complex interaction of multiple traits, an accurate picture is created of the individual, regardless of breed or age.
Register now: https://relationshipcenteredtraining.thinkific.com/courses/intro-carat-feb25
Relationship Assessment Tool (RAT) Certification: SAVE $170 and get it now for just $425!
Before focusing on training specific behaviors, you need to understand the dynamics of the relationship. RAT's simple but effective framework helps you create a customized approach that meets the needs of dog and handler to minimize or eliminate points of conflict, and to support and build the "fireflies" of mutual connection and joy.

Understanding the Physical Dog opens TOMORROW November 1st.
Do not miss this NEW course from Suzanne Clothier.
Behavior & performance are rooted in the dog's physical being. This course will teach you to understand what dogs can tell you about themselves through observation of their posture and movement.
Our dogs cannot speak to us with words to tell us they are sore, uncomfortable, out of balance, unsure or just feeling “off.” But their bodies can and do tell us immense amounts.
Using video, graphics, "Try It Yourself!" exercises and Q&A sessions, Suzanne will enrich your understanding of the physical dog. Your observation skills will be fine-tuned, giving you the ability to ask, "Can you?" when working with any dog, no matter what the training or performance goal may be.
Learn to better SEE THE DOG!
In NEW and more COMPLETE ways.

Adjusting to the loss on Oct 10 of our oldest dog Flicker, I am finding great solace in the trees. This maple danced for me yesterday. Enjoy the peace and beauty that is present here at the farm, even though there are also tears.
I will write more about this dog who has been my shadow for 14.5 years. But not yet.
