Did you know that puppyhood only lasts for the first six months? After that, your pup is considered an adolescent. 

Maybe you’ve worked really hard with your puppy and they’re the perfect adolescent dog… but probably not. That’s not on you, adolescents come with their own set of challenges. Whether you’ve had your pup since they were 10 weeks old, or you’ve just adopted a 5 year old dog, there is always room for improvement.

Life skills 101 is exactly what this is for. 

During this program, we can work on any of the life skills you deem necessary for a happy life with your dog. You create the goals, I will help you implement them.

Common goals are:

  • recall
  • boundary training (there’s nothing scarier than a dog bolting out an open door… I’ve been there!)
  • how to do proper greetings with people, children, and with other dogs
  • working on “place”
  • loose leash walking
  • confidence building
  • basic canine body language – do you know what your dog is trying to tell you? I can help you learn
  • enrichment – what it is, why it’s important, and how can we facilitate it
  • anything else that you can think of!
As a Certified Family Dog Mediator, I have gained exceptional knowledge about the different categories of breeds, what their innate needs and behaviours are, and how to ensure they are living fulfilled lives (free of destroying your human things!) You can explore the Family Dog Mediation Education Center website to learn more about what applied ethology is, and how being a Family Dog Mediator can help you and your dog.

Important:

Please remember that I am a trainer and I am your coach. I have the education, knowledge, and experience to give you the tools that you need to help create a special relationship and a connected bond with your dog, which, in turn, will be the foundation for all things training. Your dog’s results are directly correlated to the the amount of time, effort, and practice that you put into working with them on their training plan. This is what will determine how successful you and your dog are in everything the two of you learn together.
You see, I can show you what to do, how to do it, and explain why we do it, but you have to continue to do it… don’t worry, I am here and happy to support you through it all!
