Although the word we use is “training”, I believe what we’re actually doing is learning how to co-exist with our animals in a way that feels peaceful and good for everyone involved. My approach to training is energy based, where I focus on teaching you to use your body language, eye contact, and calm focused energy to speak to your dog in a language they can understand. I’ve been trained in and have done work with many different techniques, and I believe in taking a balanced approach to each session to discover what will work best for you. I think it’s great if your dog can sit for a treat, but does he respect you? Does she honor your space, and allow you to make requests of her? Dogs are always looking for the calm leadership energy in the home, and if they don’t believe that to be you, they’ll begin taking on a role they may or may not be wanting. This can lead to dogs creating jobs like barking at every person who walks by, pushing past you through doorways and up the stairs, crowding your space on the couch, begging for food, jumping, whining, and biting.

During an in-home training session, I’ll spend time observing and learning about the interactions between your dog and you. Based on my observations, I’ll show you examples of how you can easily modify certain behaviors to help create a clear picture for your dog that equals you as the leader. Training programs can be overwhelming, and we all have busy lives, so my goal is to make small adjustments that are doable to start shifting the conversation between you and your furry companion. A peaceful home is possible, and you are the one that can make it happen.
