What Is Holistic Dog Training?
Behaviour doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Your dogs personality, needs and wants, past experiences and the associations that come with it, their current environment, triggers, relationships, lifestyle, health, nutrition and their perception of their reality are all contributors to the resulted symptoms that we call “Behavior problems”.
Holistic dog training and behavior modifications are used to address all the contributors to behavior problems and sort them out one by one.
We will cover:
– Understanding and dissolving the root causes of behavior problems.
– Breaking negative association and creating positive ones.
– Increasing their self-confidence, so there’s nothing to fear.
– Helping you understand your dogs personality type on a deeper level.
– Meeting their needs & wants; starting with the non-negotiables.
– Showing you how to effectively communicate with your dogs and respond to them, so they feel seen, heard and understood.
– Strengthening the bond between the two of you.
– Improving their relationship with other dogs and people & creating a solid social life.
– Implementing the best daily routine and lifestyle to increase their overall level of happiness & satisfaction.
– Food is medicine, so we will cover healthy nutrition to nourish their bodies and improve their health and their mode.

How Does It Work?
- Training Programs are designed to produce long lasting results:
So please choose the appropriate training program based on the guidelines above, the number of dogs you have, the number of behaviour issues, and how chronic they are.
- Training sessions are in-person, remotely, or a mix of both based on your location:
In-person sessions are only available in limited Vancouver central locations; Mainly Downtown, West-End, Kitsilano, Mt Pleasant.
If you live outside my service area but not too far (South/East Van, North/West Van, burnaby, etc), we can still meetup within my service area and do some follow-up sessions together 🙂
Otherwise our sessions will be remotely via zoom video calling.
There’s absolutely no difference between in-person and remote sessions since you are the one doing the work in all cases. ButI will be with you every step of the way.
- The initial consult session:
A 2 hour long session, and is mandatory for all programs. From there we will build the foundation and establish the training plan. Our initial consult session will cover:
Part 1: Learning everything about your pup, personality, preferences, history, health conditions; if any, and current behavior problems in details.
Part 2: Meet your dog(s) and see them in action; either in-person or remotely.
Part 3: A tour of your place in-person or remotely; everywhere accessible to your pups. And a personalized in-home enrichment and self-entertainment activities plan accordingly.
Part 4: Personality assessment, root cause of behavior issues, personalized training plan & homework.
Part 5: Q & A.
- Follow-up Sessions:
1-2 hour each, scheduled monthly to assess progress, address any issues, and to do LIVE dog training & practice.
Follow up sessions also include a personalized written follow up email for each session with the next steps.
Additional Follow-up sessions are $250/Session (Including 1 month of text support) booked to provide additional training and support; if/when needed.
- Text Support:
I will be with you every step of the way. We will stay in touch in between sessions to keep me posted with the current progress, videos, pics and updates, to answer your questions, and to address any new issues that come up.
- Payment:
Payment is accepted as e-transfer and is due in full to confirm booking once the invoice is received.
- Cancellation Policy:
Consultation fees are fully refundable if you provide 48 hours notice BEFORE the initial consult session.
Consultation fees are none refundable in the event of a NO SHOW or AFTER the initial consult.
- Guarantees:
I’m very committed to making progress, producing long lasting results, and making both your dogs and you very happy in the process. That’s why I do what I do. I want to see positive changes in your dogs life and yours.
As long as you actively participate in this process, execute the training plan, and make the recommended changes, results are guaranteed. I just can’t do it without you.
