Dog Training for the Smart, Sensitive, Slightly Overwhelmed Dog Mom

Because you don’t need more random advice—you need a personalized plan, a coach, and a way to actually enjoy life with your dog.

Feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behaviour—or unsure how to raise your new puppy "right"? Let’s clear something up: this isn’t a you problem.

You’ve read the books, saved the posts, watched the YouTube breakdowns. You’ve tried to be consistent, patient, positive. But when your dog is zooming through the house like a chaos gremlin or pulling you across the sidewalk like you're in a sled race… it’s hard not to wonder: Why isn’t this working?

Here’s the thing: most dog owners are expected to figure it out with minimal guidance and loads of conflicting advice—and that’s just not enough.

When every post makes you question if you’re doing it wrong, it’s worth asking:

  • Are we expecting dogs to simply fit in—without first understanding what they need?

  • Are we actually being taught how to train and communicate with them?

  • And are we allowed to say, “This is hard,” without being judged for it?

​You love your dog. You’re trying your best.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Together, we’ll build something that fits.

You're in the Right Place If...

✅ Your new pup is cute but driving you nuts with nipping, potty accidents, or hyper energy—and you’re ready to cut through the noise of conflicting advice.

✅ Your Teenage dog’s leash pulling or anxiety makes every walk feel like a quest you didn’t sign up for—and you want clear, realistic solutions.

✅ You’re a busy professional who needs training that adapts to your unique schedule and your dog’s quirks—not the other way around.

✅ You want to finally build a chill, connected relationship with your dog—one that fits your lifestyle and your brain.

"She has helped my pup and I communicate & understand each other better to eliminate minor conflict between the two of us. She is always available to troubleshoot and make adjustments to our training plan, which is so helpful as I learn more about my dog. So grateful for her help and would 10/10 recommend her to any other puppy owners I know!"
