Geralt and Boo the Shiba Inu’s are working on being left alone occasionally, and on how to communicate between themselves in a way they reduces tension and increases motivation to focus on their humans instead. Geralt will also be working on leash manners and generalized reactivity outside, once they’ve got the impulse control settled. Go team Shiba! 🐕🐕

Walter the pittie mix is remarkably well adjusted for an adolescent, and is learning the best thing his breed type can to be successful—impulse control! Pitties have astounding intensity speeds, so the most useful skill they can develop is the ability to stay at the speed limit when it comes to arousal in play and environment stimulations. He’s off to a great start and learning how to use his “on” and “off” switch regularly :) 🐕

Cultivating Skill, Trust, & Love

Our goal is to build organic training relationships between dogs and their owners. Understanding each other takes time, compassion, and skill. We proudly use modern, science-based, and humane methods that do not rely on force, rough handling, pain, or coercion. Our lead trainer, Melissa Hawkins CCS, is deeply committed to giving each client a comprehensive view into their individual dog’s needs and behavior, and making clear the steps towards behavior modification and training new skills. We firmly believe that each dog is unique, and that changing behavior is never a “try this one trick” solution. The mark of an exceptional dog trainer is a passion for continuing education, and chasing after the most current data in the field. We are a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) for access to webinars, research, and new discoveries. We understand that science changes, new data appears, and behavior isn’t static!

Cultivated Canines is also partnered with a network of certified dog professionals in the greater Seattle area, to assist our clients in finding a specialist when needed. We are passionate about finding the best information for each owner to cultivate an effective training relationship with their beloved dogs.
