Our training focuses on state of mind rather than obedience to coach, teach, and guide our dogs in appropriate decision making through enhanced emotional regulation. We use drives (pack, prey, defense) as well as both classical and operant conditioning techniques to shape behavior and cultivate a calm, healthy mindset through agreement and disagreement with dogs’ organic choices.

Our online training sessions and owner consultation calls are customized to YOUR goals and individualized for each dog’s needs. We treat each dog-owner dyad as the unique individuals they are, so no two training plans are the same. If you are struggling with reactivity, manners, being calm in the home, walking nicely on a leash, non-aggression-related problem behaviors, or simply want to live a more balanced life with your dog, we can help! Common skills that we teach include heel, place, pausing at thresholds, and crate manners. We use obedience as a tool to slow the body and mind to create a dog who makes intentional decisions rather than emotional reactions - our outcomes are state of mind based. We are open minded and non-judgmental in our training approach in order to meet the needs of both owner and canine in the pursuit of a more balanced life, together.
