🙋 Ready for a reset?

Published about 11 hours ago • 1 min read

The number of people I have had crying during a lesson is a lot higher than you might think. Puppies are HARD! Dogs with behaviour challenges are HARD! It's ok to feel burned out and exhausted.

What if, instead of asking you to do more, I told you that you would get further with your pooch if you actually did less?

What if you had a plan customized to YOUR life that had you training more efficiently, so you didn't have to work so hard?

Puppies and adolescents need age-appropriate training to help them set good habits while their brains are still developing. Dogs with behaviour challenges need help ASAP because the longer they rehearse behaviours, the more ingrained those neuro pathways become.

This is what Dream Dog is all about, and why we moved it from 8 weeks to 6 months - together we build an efficient and effective plan customized to your life and your schedule.

If not now, when?

Me at 16 with my first car and my pet rabbit Snoflake Did you know that I didn't grow up with dogs? I grew up with cats, then rabbits, and horses I borrowed on weekends. I actually ran my own rabbit rescue as a teen where I clicker trained them, leash trained them, and found them homes. My nickname was Christopher Robbin! I didn't get my first dog until I was 17. Kona was an abused little peskimo who through a series of strange events, ended up as my first dog. (Thanks Julie!) Kona was...
