In 2003, I was a canine mom of two special needs shepherds. Feisty, my male bit out of fear, was dog aggressive, and very codependent. Kiah, my female, was very bossy and territorial. I referred to Feisty as my street-smart dog and Kiah as my book smart dog. She loved to train while he was more of a wild animal. Due to their differences in personalities, I had to learn how to care for each dog individually.

During my journey to simply care for my personal dogs, I fell in love with training animals, studying behavior, and understanding the motivations behind behavior. My passion for behavior and learning theory led me to create a business focused on teaching parents and professional handlers how to provide a healthy balance of mental, physical, and emotional stimulation for their dogs and clients. Whether you are a pet parent or a pet professional, it is your responsibility to provide this balance within your canine relationships.
