Are you feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behavior?
Many behavior challenges are not rooted in disobedience, but in a dog who is feeling overwhelmed by the demands of living in a human world. Behaviors like pulling on the leash, barking, reactivity, destructive chewing, fence fighting, jumping, or getting into the trash are often a dog's way of coping when they don't feel guided, understood, or supported.
Our coaching focuses on strengthening the relationship between you and your dog through clear communication, calm leadership, and mutual trust. Rather than relying on constant commands or correcting unwanted behaviors after they occur, you'll learn how to communicate through your body language, timing, intention, and movement in ways your dog naturally understands.
As your dog begins to look to you for guidance instead of feeling responsible for making every decision, you'll often see unwanted behaviors begin to fade naturally. This approach helps relieve the pressure many dogs carry, allowing them to become calmer, more confident, and better equipped to navigate everyday life.
Throughout the program, you'll practice simple relationship-building exercises and real-world experiences that develop focus, cooperation, emotional resilience, and confidence. Instead of teaching obedience as a series of isolated commands, we help create a dog who genuinely wants to be with you, follows your lead willingly, and feels secure in your presence.
The result is more than better behavior—it's a relationship built on trust, respect, and understanding. When the relationship changes, behavior often changes with it, creating lasting results that extend far beyond training sessions.
Our Coaching Approach
We work with clients using a coaching model designed to support learning, integration, and flexibility. After each session, you’ll receive a detailed written follow-up via email outlining the exercises, techniques, and observations from your lesson. You’ll also receive personalized “homework” that you can practice at your own pace—whether that’s for a few days or several weeks before scheduling your next session.
There is no rigid timeline. You and your dog move forward together in a way that feels sustainable and supportive. Between sessions, ongoing support is available via text, email, or phone so we can troubleshoot, refine, and adjust as needed. Two exchanges per week are included in the package. More frequent exchanges may be purchased for an additional fee.
What Your Private Sessions Include
Every private training session includes far more than the time we spend together in your home. My goal is to provide comprehensive support so you always know exactly what to do between sessions.
Your investment includes:
• Time spent reviewing your intake forms and preparing specifically for your dog before we meet.
• A 90-120 minute in-home coaching session where we work together with your dog in real-life situations.
• Travel time to and from your home.
• Individualized coaching tailored to your dog's behavior, nervous system, and your family's goals.
• A detailed written training plan outlining everything we covered, along with step-by-step exercises and recommendations.
• Follow-up support after your session to answer questions and help you stay on track.
• Continued professional education and over two decades of experience studying behavior, nervous system regulation, nutrition, physiology, and holistic canine wellness so you receive guidance that goes beyond basic obedience training.
