🚨 New Offer! Foundations to Thrive

Published 4 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!

Committing to change can feel overwhelming, scary, and exhausting. But... don't you feel like that anyways? It’s hard not knowing what to do or how to actually help your dog. It’s exhausting trying to make sense of all the conflicting training advice and methods. And when your dog has big behaviors, even thinking about working on them can feel intimidating. It doesn't have to stay that way. Dream Dog is your answer. Consistent, thoughtful training—done at a pace that works for you and your...
