Canine Core Method: A Polyvagal Informed Training System

Our approach to dog training is based in polyvagal-informed practices for the dog-human team. We have created very specific somatic exercises that help to move sympathetic energy, calm and soothe the canine nervous system, and create an incredible bond between dog and human. 

If you are ready to learn how to coach humans towards harmony in their canine relationships with a special emphasis on: emotional alignment, biological fulfillment, and nervous system regulation, this certificate program is for you. 

This program consists of 45 hours of in-person, hands-on training with client dogs. We do recommend at least two hours per week, and require that your in-person learning hours be completed within 12 months of your first session. Additional learning resources will be provided: a private library of instructional videos, as well as a syllabus of outside reading materials. To achieve the certificate you will need to pass a written exam which can be taken online, and also present one case study on a client dog (who does not live in your household).
