FAQ: IS MY DOG TOO OLD TO BEGIN TRAINING OR HAVE I LEFT IT TOO LATE?

No! It is never too late to start training. There is a benefit to starting work with a puppy so we can prevent future issues, but even a senior dog can learn (and will love it). We can train at any age or stage!

What is relationship based training?

It facilitates a partnership built on trust, understanding, communication, & fun (& love!). I teach you how to motivate your dog, nurture curiosity, celebrate successes, & inspire your dog so they in-turn inspire you!

All behaviour is communication & it can be detrimental to shut it down. Relationship based dog training helps you understand what your dog’s behaviour is telling you, why they are doing it, how you can communicate back to them more effectively & shape the behaviours you are looking for.

Our work together will build trust, mutual respect, & a deeper connection between you and your dog.
