🐕 Becoming Your Dog’s Safe Space


Hi There,

I had to take Riker to the vet today. He is terrified of the handling, poking, and prodding that typically happens there. I advocate for him. I help him feel safe.

And the same goes for leash reactive dogs. We can teach them that we are the safe place. We have their backs.

One of the most powerful things you can be for your dog is their safe space.

This means:

  • They can always count on you to never hurt or scare them.
  • Even when the world feels overwhelming or scary, you remain calm and predictable.
  • They know that when things get stressful, they can lean on you for guidance and reassurance.

Being your dog’s safe space doesn’t mean you remove all challenges. It means you guide, support, and protect them while helping them grow confident in the world.

This foundation is at the heart of my 8-Week Leash Reactivity Deep Dive. Together, we teach your dog the skills they need to stay confident, while giving you the tools to be their calm, dependable partner every step of the way.

✨ Enrollment is open now—but only until the end of the week!

Give yourself and your dog the skills to succeed.

Talk soon,

Christina

Before COVID, none of us ever dreamed of teaching dog training on-line. "Sure, on-line is fine for games and cute courses, but real b-mod needs eyes and hands on!" Turns out, we were wrong - hands down, no contest, my best results are from my on-line students. But why? That doesn't make sense.... Until you think about it this way. yes, maybe I can provide better "this is what your dog needs" in the moment, while I hold the leash. But in private lessons, you get this HUGE amount of info in an...

Dream Dog is open for enrollment now UNTIL MIDNIGHT JANUARY 23RD! Have you ever heard of limiting beliefs? That quiet (or not-so-quiet) voice in your head that says: “You can’t do this.” “Your dog is too difficult.” “Don’t even dream about the life you want with your dog.” It sounds like: “I'm not good enough.” “I’ll never make the time—this will be just another thing I sign up for and abandon.” “I'm bad with tech.” “Other people are just naturally better at this.” “I’ve already messed my dog...
