My Philosophy is…
Mindfulness Training
Dogs Learn Best from a Leader They Respect (not fear)
Training will take place in your home.
The very place where the pack dynamics play themselves out.
Becoming a Mindful Canine Leader
Mindfulness is the art of living in the present moment with concentration, consideration and compassion.
The energy of mindful living is something concrete and can be cultivated but it requires practice. When we invest all of our being in the present moment, we can connect to all that is around us.
To become a mindful canine leader, requires that you understand the nature of a canis familiars. Dogs are socially oriented and thrive in a pack that has a clearly defined hierarchy.
In order to achieve a cohesive pack, effective canine communication is essential. A mindful canine leader will practice consistency, patience, playfulness and compassion. These are the tools of positive communication that I teach humans to become the mindful canine leader their dog will love and respect.
