🏠 “Wish I could just move in with you?”

Published 13 days ago • 1 min read

​

I've lost count of how many times a student has told me how much they wish I could just live at their house for a while.

In the moment, in the day to day interactions with your dog, that's actually where the magic happens - It isn't out on the street working on the reactivity. The foundation to succeed is done at home, 30 seconds at a time in amongst your regular daily activities.

“Don’t I need an in-person trainer? Aren’t online programs a waste of time?”

Here’s the truth: in-person training can be great. I love my in-person students, and for some people that is definitely the way to go. But it usually works like this—you get a big chunk of info during your lesson, a long list of homework, and then you’re left on your own until the next appointment.

Overwhelm, confusion, and anxiety set in and you get stuck.. The things we did together during our session just don't seem to work anymore.

​

My 8-Week Leash Reactivity Deep Dive works differently.
✔️ You get daily one-on-one feedback on your videos and questions.
✔️ Your plan is adjusted in real time, so you’re never left spinning your wheels.
✔️ The support is personalized to you and your dog—not a generic handout or one-size-fits-all advice.

Instead of trying to remember what you should do days or weeks later, you’ll know exactly what to do today, with the confidence that I’m right there guiding you.

✨ Enrollment is open now—but only until next week.

You don’t need more homework. You need more support—and that’s exactly what this program is built to give you.

Hi there, Can you see how much fun Riker and Jubilee are having in these videos? That’s what training should look like — joyful, connected, and fun for both you and your dog. Not all training is upbeat and energetic, but it should always feel safe, kind, and connected. A friend sent me a post from a well-known trainer who said their distracted dog needed its mouth held shut and to be flipped on its back. Suddenly the dog follows them everywhere - not surprisingly. Dogs are the most forgiving...
