Thank you for wanting to do better for your dog
…Lets clear the air a bit
Wanting to truly understand your dog requires humility
Not everyone is ready to hear the why behind their dog’s behavior, especially when it means rethinking their own.
It’s often more comforting to project human emotions onto dogs than it is to learn how a completely different species thinks and communicates.
But dogs are not humans.
They don’t think like us. They don’t operate like us.
If you're ready to take ownership of the relationship and acknowledge where things have gone off course, you're in the right place.
This is not a quick fix.,
If you're here because your dog pulls on the leash or doesn’t listen on command, and you're hoping for a one-time solution, this isn’t the right place.
This is not a magic trick.
Training doesn't happen to your dog. It happens through you. The work begins with the human, not the leash.
This is where owners come to learn.
You’ll be taught how to adjust your approach, shift your energy, and apply your learnings consistently, every single day, in order to build the relationship your dog needs.
There is no one-size-fits-all training method.
I assesses the dog in front of me, considering their breed, upbringing, confidence, learned behaviors, and drive, all of which will be discussed during your consultation.
If you struggle to set boundaries, dog related or not, this is going to be more challenging for you.
But it will also be necessary. Boundaries aren’t just a training tool, they’re a lifeline for dogs. Without them, dogs live in confusion, anxiety, and chaos. And no dog deserves that. If you are willing to start making changes for YOU, and your dog, this will be one of the most rewarding experiences both personally and in regards to the relationship with your dog.
This process requires you to SHOW UP.
For your dog, and for yourself.
If you’re willing to be honest, consistent, accountable, and coachable, you’re already halfway there.
Dogs are not ornaments.
They are intelligent, emotional, instinctual beings; not accessories to our lifestyle or placeholders for unmet emotional needs.
Most people get a dog to feel loved.
It’s an uncomfortable truth, but many seek out dogs to fill a void that humans haven't.
While the love dogs give is unconditional, our responsibility to them must go far beyond emotional comfort.
This isn’t about what you need.
It’s about what your dog needs; structure, clarity, leadership, and respect for who they are as an animal, not a human.
That starts with putting your own feelings aside and learning how to truly meet your dog where they are.
