Cat’s Compass

As the name suggests, Cat’s Compass is a little bit different—okay, a *lot* different (lol!). This program is for those who want more from their training, who crave a deeper connection and understanding of their dog, and who want to approach training in a more intuitive, relationship-centered way.

In this unique, personalized program, I will guide you and your dog on a one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the human-canine bond.

Throughout the program, you will explore your dog and your relationship through eight distinct lenses, each opening new doors and windows to deeper insights. Each of these lenses offers countless opportunities for growth and exploration. The program follows cycles of observation, reflection, and adaptive action, each deepening your understanding of who your dog truly is and helping you co-create a home, relationship, and family with your dog that goes far beyond anything you ever thought possible.

You will learn about:

• micro-communication,
• intuitive (as in instinctive, not metaphysical) interspecies communication
• instinctive patterns
• self-expression
• barriers to growth
• relationship dynamics
• proxemics (the language of personal space)
• sensory and sensory development
• social and group patterns
• movement patterns
• “secret handshakes”, dialects and slang in dog-human-relationships (thank you, Brian Fleming!)
• cooperation, competition, and conflict
• how your dog learns
• emergent interventions
• and SO much more!

What types of behaviors might change as a result? While I can’t guarantee specific training or behavior change outcomes, I would expect issues like leash pulling, listening, manners, and even reactivity to start “vanishing”—without directly addressing these behaviors.
