MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY
-
Force Free
I advocate for evidence-based training methods that avoid discomfort, fear, or intimidation. By focusing on positive reinforcement, we create an environment where dogs learn through rewards, not punishment, making training a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your dog.
-
Humane
Training will prioritize your dog’s well-being every step of the way. We avoid any tools or techniques that cause harm or distress. Instead, we focus on learning through positive motivators like food, praise, and play, ensuring each experience builds trust and strengthens the bond between you and your dog, all while going at your dog’s pace.
-
Inclusive
I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. I believe in treating all individuals—regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, background, or ability—with respect, kindness, and dignity. Discrimination has no place here. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where all people and dogs can thrive, learn, and grow together.
Muttlife Support Group
Community class for People with Dogs who react.
Reactivity to other animals and/or people is a common struggle. Whether your dog shows reactivity through over excitement, frantic friendliness, or aggressive posturing and distance increasing displays; these reactions can be equally frustrating and inappropriate.
I can coach you and your dog through these issues and teach your dog essential life skills to cope and thrive in their everyday world!
your dog is not giving
you a hard time,
they are having a hard time.
This is a great opportunity for folks who have already started addressing reactivity to get real world practice, safely. To join the support group, you would start with a Behaviour Consultation and a minimum of 2 private sessions or to build the skills and understanding to safely join the group.
