Obedience Training

Our Approach

Kids K9 Coaching

Having seen first hand how dogs can transform lives, I'm passionate about offering that same experience to kids and their families. Think about it - Ivan Pavlov, the founder of a key therapy approach (CBT), based his discoveries on observing how dogs respond to training. There's a reason for that! Dogs are natural teachers, offering unconditional love and acceptance while responding beautifully to positive reinforcement. That's the core of K9 Coaching: a unique blend of dog training and therapeutic interventions tailored to your family's needs

Whether your child struggles with fear of dogs, longs for a stronger bond with their furry friend, or you simply see the potential for a more connected household, we can help. Together, we'll create a safe and positive environment where children can overcome anxieties, learn valuable communication skills, and build a lasting friendship with their canine companion. The result? Increased confidence, improved emotional well-being, and a deeper connection within the family unit – all thanks to the power of the human-animal bond.
