Teaching Humans to Speak Dog:

We believe education on why dogs do what they do & how they view the world in comparison to us as humans comes before any training program, group class or use of fancy collars. During your time here we will work towards understanding how to better communicate with your animal, create structure, & address their behavior while simultaneously addressing our own limiting behaviors as humans such as poor communication and boundary setting, self doubt, frustration, lack of self discipline & our own poor self care habits. I recognize that every situation is different, each program is customized to you and your animals goals. If working in a group setting classes are small & accommodating. Rather than offering obedience classes & competition sports, we focus on real world skills & specialize in helping people live low stress lives with their pets through offering accommodating classes for ALL types of people that recreate real life situations. We shape habits with treats, toys, cuddles, and praise but still use correction words such as “nope” & clear body language to communicate undesired actions and clarify expectations. Though I am not against them in all situations, my methods are not reliant on prong or electronic collars. 95% of my clients feel no need to use them after learning how to “speak dog” In short, I strongly believe that every animal has come into our lives to teach us valuable lessons.   By learning to observe the root of their actions and our own emotions, we can learn to communicate our wants and needs to them, creating an unimaginable bond and level of understanding that is beneficial to all involved
