Our Process

    Step 1: Learning your dog

    To make lasting change, we first need to take a deep dive into your dog’s learning history, environment, genetics, and individual needs. In addition, we will focus on how your dog communicates with you.

    Step 2: Risk factors

    Taking your dog’s specific needs and sensitivities into account, we will identify pain points and potential areas where conflict may arise, such as resource guarding toys and bones when kids are nearby.

    Step 3: Management

    When it comes to navigating life with kids and dogs, management is your best friend and the quickest way to bring peace back into your home. We will create a customized management plan for your specific home to ensure safety and comfort for all.

    Step 4: Behavior change

    The final step is seeking opportunities to teach new skills (such as going to a mat when it’s diaper changing time), and changing emotional responses (for example, if your dog is sensitive to baby cries). This will be the bulk of our work and create long-lasting results for your family.
