About Me.

And how I can help you.

When I am asked what I do for a living my answer is that I am in the “happiness business”. And I am!

If you are living with a difficult dog, it affects how you live your life. And it’s stressful. The purpose of my business it to get humans and dogs on the same page so you can enjoy life together.

It’s all about the “tool-box”. The foundation of my training method is to teach your dog a series of useful behaviors that you will use over his/her lifetime. The tool-box gets stronger and stronger each time you click and reward a behavior. It’s like a bank account. Each click is a deposit.

Why is this tool-box” so important? The tool-box is critical because how can we change unwanted behaviors if we don’t have anything to replace them with?  That is the purpose of the tool-box.

Armed with your tool-box, you now have a way to switch your dog from a reactive place in the brain (Hind Brain) to a focused place in the brain (Front Brain). The two parts of the brain cannot be used at the same time. This is the nuts and bolts of behavior modification. It’s a beautiful thing!
