Thank you for dropping in. A little about myself. I've been training for almost 17 years. I am a minimalist. I have ONE program. The Canine Neutrality Program. Simple. No confusing add-ons, no sales pitches, no displaying popularity badges. I want the focus to be on getting you results so you can include your dog into your life with much more freedom. I focus on calming your dog, then building reliable obedience.
No bribery, no sales pitches. This program is for those serious about change. It's "for life" and I'll be here for you as long as you need. If you're looking to simplify your life more, you've come to the right place.
I added a tribute to my first husky, Sheena.
She taught me more than I could ever teach her.
She taught me to GIVE back instead of take.
Sometimes a dog comes along that you label your “Soul Dog”. One that enters your life and awakens you to a new understanding of true connection.
Sheena wore many hats, beginning with my companion. She soon became my partner, a true canine evaluator and truth teller; able to feel the dog from the inside out. She taught me to look beyond training textbooks. She was a master at helping anxious dogs and a master at working with reactive dogs.
We worked together helping dogs with simplicity, nature, and the thrill of the hunt.
Because of her, I saw dogs through her eyes. I began to see the dogs as the TEACHER.
I learned from them. She was my rock through many personal battles.
Until the last battle, the one she could not win.
I was then her rock, her caregiver, her advocate, and her soul, until her body was tired. On that day, I held her paw, thanked her for the lessons she taught me and her unconditional love. I whispered to her that she earned her stripes & wings and I’d be okay. She then closed her eyes for last time. Always in my heart, my sweet girl.
In Loving Memory,
