 Hi! Because you are here I know you are curious about dog training - 

You are searching for answers and want to feel connected to your dog.


transcript below


That is my specialty - helping people to have the best relationship imaginable with their dog. I have been working with dogs, professionally, for over 30 years now - and I have learned a thing or two in that time. 

It is both exciting and gratifying for me to be able to share with you protocols that work, and that create a happy working partner, whether that means being the best house pet ever - or a great performance dog. I love it that I can bring my unique experiences and perceptions to you, so that you can benefit from them.

Welcome to our community, where you can find support and information so you and your dog can have the relationship you are dreaming of! It’s not easy! But it is all about training WITH your dog, not training AT your dog.

Please enjoy the free video and podcasts about our favorite topic! Dogs!

Welcome to Being Connected With Your Dog.
