Around here, I’m all about being their Kahu – their guardian, not their boss. It’s not just about what goes into their bowl. It’s about how they feel, what gets them wagging, and how we can support their instincts. If your dawg is acting out or seems off, I’m gonna check what’s up with their mind and their gut, ‘coz everything’s linked. ### Tailored Nutrition Plans Every dog’s different, so I don’t do cookie-cutter stuff. I help you figure out custom dog meal plans, whether your pup is just starting out or your old timer needs extra care. Got a senior with creaky joints, or a dog with liver issues? We’ll tweak things so food actually supports them, not just fills their belly. ### Raw Feeding & Natural Choices If you’re curious about raw feeding guidance for dogs, I’ll walk you through the safe way to do it. PMR diets, raw bones, or even dehydrated chews – it’s not just about eating, it’s about giving dogs something to do that’s truly natural for them. Safety first, always. ### Wellness & Enrichment Wellness isn’t just food. Walks matter – long leash, plenty of sniff time, let your dawg just be a dawg. Chewing after a stressful day, brain games for the anxious ones – all this is part of the plan. I’ll help you work out what lights your dog up and how to put that into your daily routine. ## Highlights Browse through The Urban Dawg's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/theurbandawg/canine-nutrition-wellness-consulting/featured) - ![This is what true wellness looks like.

That’s Hawaiian for guardian, protector. My Brat Pack and me, we live with open fields, muddy tractor trails, and a whole lotta freedom. Alex and Darius, my boys, came from cages, now they run wild and happy. I work with the community too, helping street dogs get spayed and live better. Dawgs gotta be dawgs, that’s my vibe. ### My work - **What I Offer**: Canine behavior counselling, pet parent training, canine holistics, nutrition (yup, advanced raw-feeding), and homestay-style dog boarding. - **Natural Dog Training**: Dogs learn from dogs here. Training is organic, no fear, just calm pups showing the ropes. - **Puppy Socialization Program**: Pups meet gentle, wise dogs at my homestead. They learn the natural way, no forced stuff. - **Holistic Dog Care**: I look at the whole dog - mind, body, grub. Canine holistics and raw-feeding diets are my jam. - **#TUDpawcation Boarding**: No kennels, just open space. Dogs join the pack, hang out, run, play, chill.
