My dog isn't reactive, but....

Did you know that I don't just work with reactive or aggressive dogs? I love all of the big-feelings dogs!

If you want to learn how to work with your dog's emotions and arousal, helping them be the best they can be, Dream Dog is for you!

Dream Dog is great for helping your dog with:

Confidence

  • Worried about novelty, afraid to make mistakes => Feels optimistic, curious, and happy to try

Resiliency

  • One hard event can ruin the whole walk or even the day => Easily bounces back from setbacks

Self-Control

  • Reacts immediately without thinking => Pauses and thinks before acting

Problem-Solving Skills

  • Gets stuck, shuts down, stops responding or walks away => Figures things out independently

Frustration Tolerance

  • Easily becomes overwhelmed, or explosive => Handles challenges without stress or barking

Arousal Management

  • Struggles to be calm, to listen to cues or even eat =>Calms down when excited

​

If you're curious and have questions, book a free call so we can chat.​

Cheers,

~ Christina

This sweet little face belongs to Abbey. Abbey has been gone for a few years now, lost to one of those diseases that eventually claims the lives of old dogs. Abbey had a great family - two humans who loved her dearly and who gave her an amazing life. One of those humans became a trusted and treasured friend. Back when I was one of Abbey's trainers, I didn't know a lot about dogs like her - those who would bite to protect themselves when they felt threatened. Back then, it was the Cesar Milan...

I LOVE working with multiple dogs in a home - there are so many training opportunities for teaching self control, patience, and emotional regulation, right in your own home! I just met Gracie and Rory and we put a plan in place to build Rory’s self-control—so there’s more peace in the home and Gracie gets her own space, toys, chews, and one-on-one time with her people without needing to put the puppy away. My home is so quiet... For the first time in 20 years, I only have 2 dogs. I am used to...
