🚨 New Offer! Foundations to Thrive

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

New class!

Engagement, Resilience, Emotional Regulation

Training can be so hard in the winter — classes wrap up, training barns are cold and damp, and … driving at night with the rain, snow, and ice can just plain suck.

So this year, instead of taking a December–January break for classes, I’m offering something new!

Foundations to Thrive is a 6-week online class (spread over 8 weeks) focused on the skills so many dogs are missing — playful engagement, confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation.

​
And you can do it all from home, without braving the weather (or the world, for those reactive dogs).

We’ll cover:

  • Incorporating PLAY into your training sessions
  • Games for building Resiliency
  • How to build Confidence using loopy training
  • Teaching Emotional regulation skills that transfer to the real world

There’s a short mid-class break at the end of Dec, and you’ll still have full access to the lessons and community if you want to keep playing through the holidays.

This class will be a lot of fun!

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...
