What is a Family Dog Mediator?
Dog families...
WE HEAR YOU!
You need real help with your dog. You've come to the right place to find it. It’s not just you. You don't have a bad dog, & you're not a bad dog trainer. You just can't reach him because you haven't had the whole story.
There’s a growing, serious fundamental problem facing pet dogs & their people in the modern world – a complicated truth that no one really talks about. Many “behavior problems” are just symptoms of this greater issue. You must discover and address why behavior is happening before you can ask how to change it, because you can’t solve a problem that you don’t understand. You’re ready to go beyond dog training and find the whole truth. You’re ready to really meet your dog. We’re ready to help you come together around new interventions, understandings, & agreements in the relationship – for everyone’s sake. Welcome to Family Dog Mediation®.
Let's get started!
