Where Understanding Leads to Change
Whether you're navigating challenging behaviors, struggling to understand what your dog needs, or feeling uncertain or nervous about behavior that has become concerning or even scary, Mindful K9 Training provides individualized support grounded in a deeper understanding of behavior. We look beyond the behavior itself to consider what may be contributing to it and how your dog's experiences, environment, genetics, learning history, and emotional state may influence how they respond.
Together, we'll develop practical strategies that address the underlying needs of your dog while supporting a stronger, more trusting relationship between you. Through behavior support, enrichment, relationship building, and thoughtful guidance, the goal is to create meaningful change and help both you and your dog navigate everyday life with greater confidence and understanding.
Experience Grounded in Understanding
I worked in the corporate world for more than 28 years before I decided to start my own business and devote more time to helping dogs and owners in Livingston and Washtenaw Counties. My time in the corporate world along with a very busy family life has made me sensitive to the needs of people and families in busy households trying to make it work. Working with people and dogs in all stages of their life has helped me to understand and work within the specific needs of each client.
