ABOUt the beauty of dogs

What is The Beauty of Dogs? The Beauty of Dogs is the opportunity to build a unique, mutually beneficial relationship by sharing your life with a dog. This relationship can provide immeasurable value to your quality of life when we discover its benefits.

For many, dogs are our closest companions. They fill the role of our confidants, our comforters, our comic relief, our healers, our mirrors, our guardians, and yes, our family. And like all family members, we want shared love, trust, and respect.

They can teach us empathy, patience, and compassion.  The Beauty of Dogs is their ability to be tuned into us and, by reflection, allow us to understand more about ourselves and the world around us.

This is where the opportunity lies for us to access parts that have held us back or cut us off in life, while having support that may have been hard or impossible to find in the past. Your dog can be that support. But a healthy relationship is truly a partnership, a give and take. And unfortunately, at times, the beauty of dogs also becomes hidden.

It may be due to a lack of foundation training and socialization, miscommunication between humans and dogs, health issues, neglect of the relationship, or a myriad of other stressors.  When this occurs, unhealthy and unwanted behaviors can crop up.

Ideally, such behaviors can be averted with early intervention.

However, if you find the beauty of your dog has become hidden, there is hope.

Together, we can work to bring that beauty back to the surface and restore what was lost or create what did not previously exist.

Rather than putting a Band-Aid on behaviors, we seek to make long-term changes.

Using a network of professionals, we aim to give you the resources to help the whole dog. A trainer’s interest should always be in providing solutions to their clients’ problems, and we believe in transparency.

This is what relationships and teamwork are all about!
