A perfectly attainable goal
in an in-your-home session with Ottawa’s Dog Whisperer.
What better way to provide your puppy with the life skills it needs
to grow into a healthy, happy dog...
A puppy needs life skills of which a few simple commands like sit, down, stay are only a small part…do you know that it takes all of a few minutes to teach a puppy to sit when one uses the language of a dog?
Why would you take a multi-week course with a trainer
who takes a full hour of your valuable time to teach you how to get your dog to sit?
And another hour a week later to teach your dog to lie down and yet a third hour - three weeks from your first session, to teach your dog to stay?
What if you could learn 100’s of times more in one day,
in the space of 4 to 5 hours?
in the space of 4 to 5 hours?
What if, in the space of only one day, you could learn all you need to know...hear it, see it, understand it, and do it...
To ensure that your puppy becomes a happy, healthy well adjusted canine.
Imagine never having to worry about your puppy developing behavioral problems in the future....and what if, in addition to all of that you could learn about whole health nutrition for your puppy - good behaviour and good health and wrapped up in one!
Well with me you can achieve all of this in an in-your-home
Full Boot Camp Session.

1.0 Why Me...A comprehensive
approach
approach
1.1 Because I Do...
Go to your home to do a session I address everything that affects yours and your dog’s ability to successfully cope with daily life together...
- Communication,
- Human and canine psychology;
- Behavior;
- Diet;
- Nutrition.
When a dog has the opportunity to be mentored and directed using methods that respect the great intelligence of a dog, age is not a predictor of the dog’s ability to understand and alter his/her behavior, nor is blindness or deafness.
- I work with puppies that are as young as eight to ten weeks of age and;
- These youngsters are able – in a single session, to both understand and learn so much more than sit and lie down, and;
- On the other end of the scale I work with dogs that are ten, thirteen or more years of age.
- I work with blind dogs and deaf dogs.
My methods consistently produce excellent results because:
- I use communication techniques that dogs naturally employ - universal forms of communication that are applicable to dogs of all ages, breeds, sighted and non-sighted, hearing and hearing impaired;
- I teach in a manner that is designed to see, analyze and address each client, their current problems and the required solution as a unique case;
- I teach in a manner that is designed to enable retention of information and techniques for the long-term;
- I have a keen ability to understand and read both people and dogs;
- Dogs are amazing, sensitive and insightful communicators - heightened sensitivity is an important asset that I rely on to bridge gaps in understanding between a clients and their canines;
- Heightened sensitivity is a huge asset and provides me with a real advantage when working with dogs and their people...it is also an asset that many dogs posses
Diet, Nutrition and Health-Care
- I also cover diet, nutrition and health-care in a session as all are contributing factors affecting:
- Behaviour;
- Overall well being, and;
- Longevity.
I do not charge an additional fee for multiple dogs – the fee is the same whether I work with one dog or more…as I live with my own pack of 10 dogs (8 rescues) working with multiple dogs is second nature to me. If you are curious you can check out a road walkor trail walk with my dogs.
1.2 Because I Don’t...
- I dont rely on treats in my work with dogs;
- I will, however teach you how to give your dog treats and food in a manner that truly enables and supports mutual love and respect between human and dog;
- The reason I dont use treats is because dogs are incredibly intelligent, they need and love to work and they know when a human is proud of them;
- For these reasons alone a dog does not require treats in order to be normal and do normal;
- What they do require is opportunity in the form of honest and clear communication from a place of understanding and respect;
- I dont rely on dominance and force in my work with dogs;
- The Alpha concept is a very misunderstood term in the world of dog training and domesticated dogs.
1.3 Because dogs...
Offer us so much more than we humans sometimes understand. Dogs offer us the opportunity to engage ourselves, learn and grow past our own bad habits...
As Edward Hogland once said..."In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesnt merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."
1.4 Because attaining and maintaining a
good relationship with your dog...
good relationship with your dog...
- Is not about intrusive physical force - unless you are a dictator and a despot, in which case force is the standard means by which to enthral and control others;
- It is about learning to lead by true example - and that is what I teach you, and;
- While I communicate to and direct your dog, he/she learns social and life skills...and in the case of a dog that has developed bad habits - he/she learns a better and safer way of living life;
- As I also address diet, nutrition, health which has a direct relationship to achieving optimal: brain function, serotonin levels, immune system health which all have a direct impact on behavior, short and long term health and longevity.
1.5 Because my methods work...
I achieve success for clients that have previously been to two, three or more trainers or behavourists who unfortunately where unable to address and turn-around unwanted behaviour, or made the behaviour worse!
