and I want to help you create a fun and harmonious life with your dog. Our modern human world is increasingly difficult for our canine companions to understand and adapt. That is where I come in! Utilizing the family dog mediation L.E.G.S. model of examining each dog’s individual learning history, environment, genetics, and self, we will work together to understand where your dog is coming from and what we can do to create a harmonious life for the people and canines in your home. So what is enrichment and how does that fit into the picture? Enrichment comes from the idea that captive animals have innate behaviors they need to engage in to have a fulfilled life. It may not be how we automatically view our relationship with them, but our dogs are our captive animals. They have innate behaviors they are driven to engage in and when they are not given an outlet for those behaviors, they show up in ways that often seem inexplicable and destructive to their human companions. We will use learning theory, training techniques, and enrichment to begin to solve those tricky problems you are facing in your life with your dog.
