Discover Your Dog's Unique Training Plan

Published about 4 hours ago • 1 min read

If you've been following me for some time, you know that I emphatically believe that how we train our dogs is NOT a one-size-fits-all. Trainers on TikTok or wherever you see them might love to tell you that you just need one method - to fix one thing - and your dog will totally transform.

The real problem is that most training strategies, general advice and ChatGPT all treat every dog the same.

​

They assume every dog has the same baseline, when the truth is every dog has their own unique personality and story. MOST training modalities simply do not account for this.

Everything changes when you learn to understand what YOUR unique dog needs!

What you actually need is ... to understand what YOU and YOUR dog need. Then we gamify those skills.

We have FUN teaching your dog what they need to know, filling the gaps where they need help.

No two dogs will need the same thing - this is why you have been struggling.

​

Your dog is UNIQUE. You are unique. And so is your training plan.

​

So. If you're wondering what your unique dog needs... and more importantly, HOW to give them what they need in a way that's effective, humane, and fits into your life...

I've got you. That's what Dream Dog is for. Book a free call so we can chat.​

Cheers,

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...
