✨Join us this Saturday at 3:30 PM ET for our 90 minute live webinar on self-regulation (and co-regulation)!

Teaching our dogs to cope with stress, to feel their feelings in a regulated way, to empower them to deal with stressful situations more and more independently (though interdependence is and always will be vital) is one of the key focuses of behavior therapy.

In this webinar, we’ll do a deep dive into the focus of self-regulation - for our dogs and for us - including actionable strategies to use on your own behavior journey.

Participants will also gain access to the other two webinars in our Behavior Bites Webinar Trio - our webinar on Holistic Stress Reduction is already recorded and uploaded, and our third and final webinar on Building Resilience to stress is upcoming!

Recordings are available for all participants, so if you can’t join us live, no worries!

Register now, and we’ll see you there!

(And as always, financial accessibility options are available! Thank you for asking for what you need!)

About Your Trainer

Gabrielle has a passion for helping dogs and their humans live their best lives together. Her work with dogs began with foster and rescue work. She enjoyed working with the houseless population and their canine companions in Hawaii, and participating in outreach work in local RVA neighborhoods.

For several years, Gabrielle managed a team of professional dog handlers, and worked with dogs of varying breeds, temperaments, and behavioral issues. She naturally moved into the realm of training, gaining more hands-on experience through years of interning, and then moved to training full-time.

Best Life Dog Services was created with the goal of teaching humans and dogs to communicate with one another, to form cooperative relationships, and to help dogs and humans both have their needs met within their individual dynamics.

Gabrielle holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, which has been invaluable in understanding how to modify behavior in an effective and humane manner.
