The one thing I want ALL dogs to know!


No matter age, size, how social a dog is, how anxious or how confident the dog is, whether they live alone or in a pack, are a brand new puppy, adolescent, or senior... there is one thing all dogs need to know.

We can go for walks with or past other dogs WITHOUT INTERACTING

We don't have to say hi, we don't have to sniff bums, and we don't have to play. Really! ;)

When our dogs learn that now every dog is a potential threat or playmate, we take a lot of the arousal/excitement out of greetings.

For dogs living in a multidog home, they learn that they can just let the other dog do their own thing, play with that toy, chew that bone. This is all easier for the dogs to learn if first we teach them how to go for no-contact walks.

Considering joining the next Deep Dive?

This is my super popular mentorship program in which I spend 8 weeks with a small group of people struggling with similar issues. This Deep Dive focuses on dogs who fight at home. Because this is a custom experience and I get to know each of you and your dogs intimately, space is limited to only 6 people.

BONUS!

Everyone who signs up before midnight May 26th (PST) gets my Stationing course FREE! This will jump start your journey to having a peaceful home.

Stop teaching sit.” And for some dogs—especially very timid, fearful ones—this can absolutely be an important part of the path forward. Giving them space and choice helps them feel safe. But here’s the hard truth: this approach doesn’t work for every dog. In fact, I’d wager it doesn’t work for most dogs. Where did...

🌟Sept 24 Free Training Hi Fellow Dog Lover, In a world built on quick fixes and shortcuts, the dog training world is no different. We see it everywhere—in how programs are advertised, the promises made, and the unrealistic timelines set: 🐕 “Fix your dog’s reactivity in 10 days!” 🐕 “One session and your leash pulling is gone!” 🐕 “This harness, collar, or gadget will give you control instantly.” It all sounds tempting, especially when you’re struggling. But these are just band-aids on something...

🌟Sept 24 Free Training I see your dog. I see the sweet, playful, loving side that others often miss. The part that gets overshadowed by fear, excitement, or those “big feelings” your pup has. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? When your dog is misunderstood—or when strangers, friends, and even other dog owners only see the reactive or shy side. They don't see how wonderful your dog is when it's just you. Your dog is communicating in ways that many people don’t recognize, and when we don't understand...
