What does it mean to raise a good dog?

Hi! I’m Kelsey, and I have worked in the canine wellness industry for over 15 years, providing a rare insight into living with dogs.  Paired with a Master's in Health & Wellness Coaching (integrative nutrition minor), I mentor people to raise good dogs.

Raising a good dog requires having a secure and fair relationship with your dog(s).  My method is rooted in Relationship Centered Training, pioneered by Suzanne Clothier. Working with me, you will learn to observe your dog so that you can best communicate with them.  Consider one of the top three issues people have with other people in relationships– communication.  The same is true with our animal companions, and what can feel complex at times is getting two different species on the same page.

I advocate for your dog by breaking down the canine perspective and teaching you the skills to achieve a calm and cooperative relationship with your dog.  This means you’ll learn about your influence on your dog’s daily life and where accountability promotes action for meeting the goals you see with your dog. Like any solid team, you get what you put into it. I promise that while it may be challenging at times, it can be so much fun!  

I bring a unique perspective on commercially available products, from food and supplements to chews and toys. You will also learn ways to make your dog’s life more fulfilling than just a walk or two every day. I have a keen interest in how your dog’s body works and moves, and can guide you to the right questions to ask your vet and bodywork professionals. Raising a good dog involves fostering a compassionate awareness of your dog’s well-being.
