About Understand Your Canine

Most dog trainers learn how dogs work. I spent 15 years learning how humans work first — a career in psychology and behaviour before a single leash hit my hand.

That background isn't a footnote. It's the entire method. Because the dog at the end of the lead is responding to the human holding it — your stress, your timing, your patterns. Fix one without the other and you'll be back here in six months.

My approach uses two psychologies in parallel: the human mind and the dog's mind, working together. It's a collaborative model the dog training world hasn't caught up to yet. You're getting it first.

The Process

Four phases. No fluff.

01

Initial Consultation

90 minutes. We read the dog AND the human dynamic. No judgement, just diagnosis.

02

Written Report

A behavioural roadmap delivered to your inbox. Triggers, plan, homework.

03

Second Consultation

Boots on the ground. We implement, course-correct, and train the handler.

04

Continual Follow-ups

Real life isn't a 6-week course. Ongoing sessions to lock in the new normal.
