My Canine Team

Picture

We are different from other animals; it's undeniably true. But while acknowledging that, we must acknowledge another truth, the truth that we are also the same. Thatis what dogs and their emotions give us--a connection. A connection to life on earth, to all that binds and cradles us, lest we begin to feel too alone. Dogs are our bridge--our connection to who we really are,and most tellingly, who we want to be. When we call them home to us, it's as if we are calling
for home itself.

Behaviour Modification

We can help with behaviour modification for a variety of behaviours including:
  • reactivity and aggression from fear or frustration towards people, other dogs, or objects such as cars
  • resource guarding
  • separation anxiety
  • jumping up
  • pulling on leash
  • barking
  • not coming when called
Contact me to talk about the behavioural issues you are facing and we will come up with a plan to help you resolve them.
