About the Inquisitive Canine
Dedicated to barking with the dogs, cheering for the humans, and having fun!
Since 2005, as a certified dog trainer, professional canine behavior consultant, and human-canine relationship coach, I have been devoted to offering humane, pawsitive, practical solutions that work for the challenges dogs and their humans face in everyday life. My approach is to treat each dog as an individual, and extend the same respect to the people who love them – whether we are teaming up locally in Santa Barbara or in a virtual setting.
Meaningful behavior change is all about you and your inquisitive canine. I see dog training as both an art and a science, and bring to you proven strategies and techniques that help educate, achieve goals, and strengthen the bond you share with your canine companion.
As the coaching mantra goes, “We coach the person, not the problem.” So, I partner with you to define your dog training needs and objectives and guide you in shaping your own behavior, while developing new habits to enhance your overall dog training success.
Are you ready to dive right in, connect, and move forward in your dog training journey? I invite you to evaluate your readiness to determine if now is the right time for you to commit to the process of moving forward. You may also contact me directly to schedule a complimentary intake call.
