HELP!
My dog is creating chaos in the house
Do you feel like you're correcting your dog more than anything else? Have you been saying "no" all day, but you don't see any improvement in their behavior?
Does your dog get so crazy when visitors come that you no longer invite anyone over? Does the dog jump on the counter to steal food? Does he knock over the children? Are there arguments in the family because you don't have the same goals regarding the dog's upbringing? Let's build a new, clear structure and communication together!
HELP!
My dog is hyperactive
What is typical of hyperactive dogs is that they cannot find peace, they pace around the house and/or barely sleep. ​
A hyperactive dog will often bark quickly, be wild, dig holes, rage when the doorbell rings, jump up... and so on. Hyperactive dogs are sometimes referred to as playful, but when we look closer, we actually see an overstimulated, stressed dog. That could be better!
HELP!
My dogs argue and fight
This is one of the most challenging problems to address. Not because it's impossible, but because it requires owners to make a significant adjustment to how they live with their dogs. I'm not saying this to scare you off; quite the opposite.
You don't have to keep this problem to yourself. I've helped many dog families live together peacefully again. It requires a lot of dedication from the owners, because without them, it wouldn't work, but success is possible! You can solve this problem, so why wait?
HELP!
My dog lunges at... while walking
Reactivity on a leash during a walk: the dog barks, jumps, pulls, whines, etc., when it sees dogs, cyclists, people, cars, or other things. Meanwhile, you scan the surroundings and become stressed about encountering these triggers. There's room for improvement!
Nobody likes to walk a dog that flies off like a madman at all sorts of things.
Reactivity doesn't resolve itself and causes enormous stress for both dog and owner. Let's get to work!
HELP!
My dog pulls and tugs on the leash
Sore shoulders, bruises, or even broken fingers from a dog dragging you down the street. You feel like you and the dog aren't connecting, and you're just being dragged along. You don't enjoy the walk; it's a chore you'd rather postpone or dread. That's not the point. A dog should enrich your life, not limit it.
Together we can make walks a pleasant, relaxing outing again, something both people and animals can enjoy and look forward to!
HELP!
I want to take my dog's obedience to the next level
You don't have to have behavioral problems to train your dog. Are you and your dog already a good team, but want to take that bond to the next level? I can help!
Advanced obedience can be challenging, but it can be incredibly fun and a great way to perfect communication and further enhance the relationship.
It can be done differently!
Too many people struggle with raising and living with their dog(s). A dog should enrich your life, and too often, that's not the case. Yet, you deserve it! You, your family, and your dog(s) deserve a full, happy life!
So where does it often go wrong? Well, it's usually about poor communication. People and animals misunderstand each other. I can help you clear up this communication and clarify everything. A good foundation in communication is where it all starts. Without a good, solid foundation, you can't build a house. And I want you to be able to create a beautiful villa!
Perhaps you already have experience with other dogs, and this one is completely different, or perhaps this is your first dog? Perhaps you sought help, but received little or no help at all? Perhaps your dog was very well-behaved as a puppy, but his behavior gradually changed? Perhaps you've done a lot of research online, but you're overwhelmed by the differing perspectives and opinions.
Whatever the case, you're stuck and you need help. If you change, your dog can change.
