Are you frustrated with your dog inside? I once had a client whose dog jumped up to the TOP of the refridgerator to steal bread! Dogs make messes, chew furniture, bite, howl, and can make your life a nightmare. It doesn't have to be that way, and you don't need to yell or punish your dog to make it better.

There’s a common misunderstanding that dogs just know how to do what we want, and when they don’t they’re bad dogs. But they’re doing their best, just being dogs! It's a translation and motivation problem.

When you learn why dogs do what they do, and what your dog needs from you, it makes it so much easier to get on the same page and enjoy time together.

What you will learn

Your dog can't wait for you to get going!

1. Untangle the way you think about dogs, seeing behavior as a way for a dog to meet their needs.
2. Strategies for housetraining, destruction, and other common problems that work for you AND your dog.
3. Bring peace to your home, for more snuggles and good times.
