Do you Know Your Dog’s Core Needs?

When we work with our dog’s natural instincts rather than against them the battle stops, real training begins, and “human’s best friend” is born!

Behavior change starts by meeting their canine needs!

With heavily instinct-driven brains, dogs aren’t ‘born to please’ as much as they are born opportunists. As such, they need our clear and calm guidance to understand what is expected of them in this very human world. Just about everything a dog does is “inappropriate” from a human’s point of view. Sniffing each others’ butts, wrestling, yelling at each other from across the street, tearing up our belongings, digging in the garden, and eating poop are all very natural doggy behaviors that unfortunately don’t often match up to our human expectations. In order to know how to lead our four legged friends, we must first crack the mystery behind why our dog behaves the way they do! This means decoding the ins and outs of typical breed characteristics, canine body language, core canine needs, species-specific behavior, and the dog’s individual personality and needs as well. Understanding what makes our dog tick gives us the key to what motivates them!
