As a Certified Dog Trainer, Behavior Consultant, Licensed Family Dog Mediator and Puppy Specialist, I want to help you … Understand who your dog is and why they act the way they do. Dog training has evolved beyond teaching obedience and cues. It has to include giving our dog agency to choose what happens to them so they can make choices that make sense to them. If they can do that our relationship grows and they begin to trust us. It is only by gaining their trust that we can have a good relationship and truly help them with their struggles which mostly stem from not knowing how to behave in our human centric world.
