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!

💩 Sh$t Happens - be kind to yourself

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
