The Beginning of a New Journey with Your Dog
Canine Behavior is Complex -
Canine Learning Shouldn’t Be
Your dog has emotions, thoughts, a personality, nervous system, hormones, memories, learning, and genetics. Traumatic events can also impact your dog’s behavior. All these things and more make your dog who your dog is as an individual. As such, your dog is wired a certain way and has needs unique to him/her.
As complex as human behavior is, canine is even more so being a different species. I take a wholistic approach when I consider behavior struggles and what can be done to resolve them.
There is much to learn about dogs. I will share some of that with you in order to empower you and give you the confidence you need to help that dog in front of you. Your dog is a unique individual. It’s normal for a dog to struggle in a world built by another species: human. They don’t understand so much of it, yet we put these crazy expectations on them and treat them as though they should. Together we will unravel those tangled emotions. Together, we will develop the best plan that will help your dog and you to experience relief and progress.
Are you ready to begin a new journey with your dog?
What if I told you that your dog’s not broken and they don’t need to be “fixed”?
Dogs do so much to try to understand our world and I often find human’s don’t try to understand them as much. Your dog needs you to understand them. Your dog needs you to be able to support and guide them. Is your dog meant to be your companion and friend? If they are struggling with life (just like we can do), that’s when they need our help; not punishment, not cruelty, not abandonment.
You will not hear me use words like “obey” or “commands”. You will hear me use words such as: “partnership, trust, communication, relationship, choice, agency, learning, and FUN”.
