🔹 Who I Help
 I work with dogs experiencing:  
- resource guarding (food, toys, people, space and more)   Check out my book Resource Guarding - Understanding with Compassion (Amazon)
- multi-dog household tension or conflict
- reactivity (barking, lunging, over-arousal)  
- anxiety and difficulty settling, separation anxiety  
- young dogs (teen) and new rescues.

These are often complex behaviours that require more than basic training.

🔹 My Approach
 My work focuses on:  
- understanding behaviour, not just stopping it  
- changing emotional responses over time
- teaching dogs how to think and make better choices with new behaviours  
- helping you create structure and predictability in the home enrivonment

Using concept-based, game-based training, we build meaningful and lasting change.
