« Training a dog, for me, is akin to learning to waltz, and then using those skills to dance together throughout our lives. »

A holistic natural approach to communicating with dogs … finding that magical bond.

 

One of the main questions I am often asked is “What method do you use when you train dogs?”. Although it is a good question, I do not believe in having a specific “method” in training a dog. Every dog is an individual and every dog requires a different solution to learning. Each dog I meet I approach on an individual basis.

 

I have so many different “methods’ and backgrounds to choose from, and because no dog is like another, I set out to accomplish specific goals and approach the task of communicating these goals to the dog in a natural holistic manner. My goal is that the dog understands how to communicate with us, and to be able to establish a strong bond with her “pack” (her owner and family) in a way that reduces stress and eliminates conflict.

 

« Dog training is just the ability to communicate with your dog. My  passion for connecting with dogs by using a natural, holistic approach in a non-stressful conflict-free environment allows your dog to leave here with a new spring to their paws! »

Approaching dog training as learning a new mutual language, establishing a strong bond and relationship in a holistic way, means that we also have to look into exercise, health and nutrition to get the whole picture. Just going to school to learn a language will only help you to understand and communicate with your family, but you all still have to eat healthy, enjoy play and relaxation, and have a stress-free routine to thrive.

 

Through this journey, I will help guide you to learn the art of mastering leadership in such a way that your dog will respect and trust you, and look to you for all the answers. You will learn to live with your dog in peace and harmony with nature. There is an importance of emotional balance for both you and your dog, of physical strength, vitality, health, good nutrition and living without conflict.
