Relationship-based Dog Training & Behavior Support

I teach holistic, relationship-based training and behavior methods that meet the needs of both you and your dog. I work to assess the source of a behavior.  From there, I help you communicate clearly and appropriately with your dog, in ways that deepen mutual trust.

My approach encompasses mind-body-spirit, and healthy, effective communication. I look at your dog's personality, emotions, psychology, health, environment, and relationships. These factors contribute important information that help to achieve highly-effective results.

Relationship is never a one-way street. In order for you and your dog to live a happy, balanced life, there are things you need from your dog and there are things your dog needs from you in addition to food, water, shelter, and affection. I show you how you can enjoy more harmony in your life through healthy communicaiton and boundaries grounded in love, trust, and mutual respect.

By understanding how your dog interprets your cues and their environment, you can avoid the common mistake of unknowingly rewarding behaviors you do not want. By communicating with your dog in ways that they comprehend, training flows more easily and you further deepen the bond between you and your dog.
