Help & Support You Need that You & Your Dog Can Trust
"We need to learn to understand the language of dogs so that we can understand what our dogs are telling us. That is the secret of having a good life together." Turid Rugaas
It's about more than just "training".
The bond between humans and dogs is truly extraordinary - woven through centuries of companionship, loyalty, and love. But let’s be honest: understanding each other isn’t always easy. Our modern homes, routines, and expectations can be confusing, even overwhelming, for our canine companions. For many dogs, simply being a “pet” in today’s busy, human-focused world can feel scary, frustrating, and isolating.
And it’s not just tough for them, we often struggle to decode our dogs’ behaviors and how to help them thrive. These misunderstandings can create a gap between us, making harmonious living a challenge and further increasing frustrations on both sides.
Here’s the good news: living your best life with your dog and helping them live theirs, is absolutely possible. But the secret isn’t more training or “obedience”. It’s about understanding the why behind your dog’s behaviors and discovering what they truly need to thrive.
Ready to bridge the gap and build a deeper, more joyful connection with your dog? You’re in the right place. Let’s start this journey together!
Family Dog Mediation®
As a licensed Family Dog Mediator®, my mission is to bridge the communication gap between people and their dogs. So many "problem behaviors" we see in our dogs are actually symptoms of bigger issues at hand. And the reality is, you can't even begin to address those "problem" behaviors effectively and compassionately until you know why they are occurring; that's where the widely celebrated and respected L.E.G.S.® Model comes in.
Together, we will discover who your dog is, what he needs, and what he's been trying to tell you. By blending science-based techniques with genuine compassion and understanding, we’ll help you and your dog close the communication gap—so you can enjoy a happier, more harmonious life together for years to come.
