Is Dog Zen right for my dog?

You truly do not have to learn to live with this! 9 out of 10 dogs can be retrained, and I have 40 years of clinical experience, and 1000’s of clients as proof that the Dog Zen training way works!

Here’s just some of the types of dogs my Dog Zen Training is perfect for…

The Dog Who Is Super Excited To See Everyone

Your excessively exuberant dog cheerfully strokes the ego of all who it meets with its enthusiastic greeting. Unfortunately, it often takes it too far - jumping, licking, playfully biting others (who may not be so enthusiastic in their response). You may feel you’re constantly trying to rein your dog’s spirit in, which becomes exhausting for you and tiring for those around you.

The Dog Who Loves The Sound Of Its Own Voice

In your dog’s world, there is a valid reason why it feels the need to bark, however in our human world, it is not typically welcomed by you, or those around you. You and your neighbours grimace when your dog goes off on another canine diatribe. Those sitting near you at a cafe trying to enjoy a quiet coffee, or walking past, mutter under their breath. You worry they're seeing you as an owner who cannot control your dog's behaviour. In reality, when you know how, you can!

The Dog Who Doesn’t Always Like Its Own Kind, Or Other Humans

This can be distressing for you, because you know how loveable your dog is with you, and those that it knows & trusts. Yet when you're out and about, your dog makes it very clear that it’s not feeling warm fuzzies towards others. This level of grumpiness or aggression (to other dogs and/or humans) at worst could see it receive a one way ticket to the vets (something no owner wants to be faced with!).

The Dog Who Can’t Live A Second Without You

The bond between human and dog is incredibly special. There is a mutual unconditional love between the two of you. A dog who is experiencing the horrors of separation distress is in fact suffering from too much love. This is equally painful for you. You find yourself changing your life around to manage your canine friend’s clingy needs. This problem will never resolve itself and will only bring you and your dog more pain and anxiety if not addressed.
