A quick look into my force-free training philosophy and how I can help you and your dog build a stronger, more understanding partnership. These are some of my core principles and success stories.
My Training Philosophy: Partnership Over Performance
My training is built on a foundation of empathy, choice, and science. I teach you to understand your dog's "why" instead of just correcting their "what," creating a relationship where your dog feels safe, heard, and understood.
Online Workshops & Masterclasses
Join my live, interactive online sessions from anywhere in the world. I offer everything from deep-dive Masterclasses and practical Train Alongs to casual AMAs, all focused on force-free, effective training solutions for real-life problems.
Solving Common Challenges: Leash Pulling, Barking & Jumping
These are some of the most frequent issues pet parents face. I provide practical, force-free solutions to transform stressful situations like leash pulling, excessive barking, and jumping on guests into calm, manageable moments.
Understanding & Managing Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is a true panic disorder, not bad behavior. My approach is rooted in empathy and science, helping you create a support system and a gradual desensitization plan to teach your dog that being alone is safe.
Cooperative Care: Stress-Free Grooming & Vet Visits
Grooming, nail trims, and vet visits don't have to be a struggle. I teach cooperative care techniques that empower your dog to participate willingly in their own handling, turning stressful events into positive, trust-building experiences.
Indoor Enrichment: Games for a Happy Dog
A bored dog is often a destructive dog. Here are some of my favorite DIY games, food puzzles, and enrichment activities to provide mental stimulation, reduce stress, and meet your dog's natural instincts to forage, chew, and play.
Decoding Dog Behavior: Understanding Pain, Fear & Stress
Behavior is communication, and often it's a sign of an underlying issue like pain, fear, or stress. This section helps you learn to read your dog's subtle body language and understand the difference between a dog who *won't* and a dog who *can't*.
Resource Guarding: A Compassionate Approach
Resource guarding is a natural survival behavior, not a sign of dominance. My approach focuses on management and changing your dog's emotional response through positive association, teaching them that an approaching person is a good thing, not a threat.
Reacting vs. Responding: A Proactive Approach
Do you feel like you're always reacting to your dog's behavior in frustration? This series shows you how to shift your mindset from a reactive one to a proactive one, allowing you to plan ahead and set your dog up for success.
For the Love of Small Dogs
Small dogs are not just tiny versions of big dogs; they have their own unique needs and perspectives. I advocate for giving them the same level of respect, training, and enrichment as any other dog, ensuring their voices are heard.
