Holistic dog training is an approach to dog training that takes into account the entire well-being of the dog, encompassing their physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. It goes beyond simple obedience training and aims to create a balanced and harmonious relationship between the dog and their owner.
Holistic dog training focuses on understanding the dog as an individual and tailoring the training methods to suit their unique personality, temperament, and learning style. It emphasizes positive reinforcement techniques, using rewards and praise to encourage desired behaviors rather than relying on punishment or harsh corrections.

But Dana, I just want my dog to “sit, come, stay” —without all the wellness talk?
Don’t you offer plain old obedience training?
Short answer: Not anymore. But I know you love your dog enough to not just train the basics but to heal your dog. From the inside out.
Come, sit, stay results are possible but it is only a one-sided approach to a relationship with your dog. My approach is holistic for the long-term benefit of both the dog and the owner that results in a dog that can come, sit, stay, and more.
I firmly believe that in order to achieve a happy healthy thriving dog and a joyful quality of life for the dog parent as well, nutrition and wellness are the foundation. Not only for just an “obedient” dog but one that is “well-oiled, well-fed and well-behaved” which sets them up for longevity and to resist disease.
All the drama can all be a thing of the past.
We will look closely at the human-to-canine partnership, breed instincts, known issues from your dog’s history, and how everything is intertwined to help the dog that stands before us today… and you.
