Our mission is simple; education, ethics, empowerment, and energy. We educate every person who crosses our paths. It is crucial that the humans responsible for a dog have an understanding of behavioral science and how dog’s truly learn. If we do not start with the science of the way dogs learn, everything that flows from a person’s misunderstanding of their dog’s psychology can skew expectations, and frustrations and impact your training goals. Educating the person allows for us to teach your dog more effectively. Education is ethical! Ethics is in every behavioral plan, from LIMA principles, to the most current scientific research, to your dog being a sentient being with feelings, emotions, and behaviors that serve a function, give information and are communicative in nature. We are always kind, humane and ethical in our work. Empowerment is about the relationship we create in our work together.  We are a team. I will be your coach, your mentor, your teacher, your support system. Your confidence, skill set, conviction in our work and passion to meet your behavioral goals develop from this energy. You will also have a new sense of self-development and connection with your dog.  With this newfound knowledge base, you become a driving force and the relationship between you and your dog reaches a new level you didn’t even know was possible.

​

Connecting human behavior with dog behavior is one of the best ways to achieve relationship based learning. It is great to focus on your dog but you have to focus on you too! Self-reflection and being mindful of ways your behavior impacts your dog’s behavior can make or break results. We are here for the growth on both ends of the leash.
