The K9 Coach Is Not Just Training
8 years ago today, I woke up without a job at Microsoft. A place I thought I’d never leave. But corporate bs got in the way. So, did people acting with out integrity and ethics . It was a turning point in my life.
But I had known this was coming and scheduled leaving on my terms. For months I had been preparing The K9 Coach behind the scenes. I wanted to do something with purpose and meaning.
The K9 Coach started as dog training.
It became a lot of aggression and anxiety work with of course some happy go lucky pups nestled in. I grew to a business of about 12-15 dogs at any given time in board and train. I was (I still am) damn good at it. But without staff that had ambition and passion for the work, it was exhausting 24 hours a day. It was emotionally draining too. I cared. And not a day goes by I don’t think about some of my most challenge cases and favorite pups and wonder how they are. I still care.
Early in the board and train days, I had a couple of cases that changed everything. Wake up calls to modalities of wellness that gave me a path of techniques and options to run along side my training work. I saw amazing things and I became even more aware of my own natural abilities.
I wish I had known then what I know now, even with my own difficult dog. But he was a catalyst to this journey. Each dog along the way has been a teacher to me.
Today, these things are not parallels. It’s one alignment that brings nutrition, aromatherapy, energy and behavioral work together to help dogs and their people. They are not separate ideas.
The only variance is, those of you who do not have a dog with behavior issues can still greatly benefit by improving your dog’s nutrition, reducing chemical load, supporting the body before and after medical procedures, and embracing that your dog has emotional and wellness needs too.
Health, wellness, longevity, thriving lives... it is rooted in nutrition and wellness.
Training isn’t my passion no matter how good I am at it. Balanced, happy dogs and happy pet families is my passion. It’s my heart. It’s my core. It’s my spirit.
Since I started all this I have become certified in: 🐾 Canine Nutrition 🐾. Aromatherapy for Animals 🐾. Raindrop for Animals 🐾. Healing Touch For Animals 🐾. Reiki
It’s work I love doing, and I hope that every single one of you will open your heart to your dogs well being in a way you may never have considered before. Explore better food. Explore natural options for flea and tick, grooming products. Explore supporting emotions, anxiety, aggressive behavior, arousal, allergies, gut health, disease and aging differently than what you were taught. You have options and amazing things are possible.
Please don’t just accept you have tried everything. Please don’t accept that hard brown kibble chunks with sprayed on flavor is healthy for your dog. Or that your budget can’t afford anything better.
To prove it to you... right now, all wellness consultations are free. 1:1 opportunity to get help, answers to questions, ideas and options for your dogs health and behavior.
