Dog Training & Behavior Specialist

I specialize in canine behavior and provide expert coaching to pet parents dealing with stressful, challenging dog behaviors. As an experienced and dedicated canine behaviorist, I understand that every dog is unique and may exhibit behavioral issues that can be both frustrating and worrisome. Whether your furry friend is struggling with aggression, anxiety, fear or trauma, or other beahavioral problems, I am here to help. I will help you identify the root causes of these behaviors, providing effective strategies and customized training plans tailored to your dog's specific needs.

With my guidance and expertise, you can strengthen the bond with your beloved pet and create a harmonious, well-behaved companion for life.

Trust me to be your partner in unlocking your dog's full potential and fostering a happier, healthier relationship between you and your canine companion.

All Behavior programs include support & guidance on K9 Nutrition and Holistic Natural Wellness.

It’s all related & it all matters. Now and in the future.

 What if I told you that behavioral issues like fear, anxiety & aggression are rooted in emotion. Emotions can be stuck in memory and even the body. And can be influenced by nutrition, environmental factors, and energy work.

Behavior Modification Programs

Everything you need to know, I can teach you! And offer you 1:1 support, caring & knowledge far beyond the weekly lesson.

 
Dog Behavior Training North Myrtle Beach

Abuse, Anxiety, Aggression, Trauma, Fear, Injury, Grief, Loss, Kennel Stress?

Let’s heal your dog from the inside out. Every behavior is associated with emotion. Every emotion is associated with an organ and or system of the body.

 

As it turns out, studies in eastern medicine have shown this to be true and that with the right approach, these emotions can be resolved and good health and state of mind can be restored.

Tapping into your dog’s emotional needs, nutrition & presentation of their behavior will help us with a more complete resolution. I know it sounds foreign to you — but try it with me. You’ll see amazing results.

Because you really LOVE your dog.

Holistic dog training is an approach to dog training that takes into account the entire well-being of the dog, encompassing their physical, mental, emotional, and social needs. It goes beyond simple obedience training and aims to create a balanced and harmonious relationship between the dog and their owner.

Holistic dog training focuses on understanding the dog as an individual and tailoring the training methods to suit their unique personality, temperament, and learning style. It emphasizes positive reinforcement techniques, using rewards and praise to encourage desired behaviors rather than relying on punishment or harsh corrections.

 You don’t have to do this alone. 
I’m here to help you see options and develop a plan for your dog so that you can get back to enjoying your healthy thriving dog. I do things differently than most, and introduce approaches to energy, nutrition & wellness as they affect your dog’s behavior. When the issue is complete and you’re wondering if there is anything else to try beyond just more obedience training or rules — I assure you, there are options.

I welcome the option to collaborate with other trainers, veterinarians and pet professionals to resolve K9 Behavioral Issues.

 But Dana, I just want my dog to “sit, come, stay” —without all the wellness talk?
Don’t you offer plain old
obedience training

Short answer: Not anymore. But I know you love your dog enough to not just train the basics but to heal your dog. From the inside out.

Come, sit, stay results are possible but it is only a one-sided approach to a relationship with your dog. My approach is holistic for the long-term benefit of both the dog and the owner that results in a dog that can come, sit, stay, and more.

I firmly believe that in order to achieve a happy healthy thriving dog and a joyful quality of life for the dog parent as well, nutrition and wellness are the foundation. Not only for just an “obedient” dog but one that is “well-oiled, well-fed and well-behaved” which sets them up for longevity and to resist disease.

All the drama can all be a thing of the past.

We will look closely at the human-to-canine partnership, breed instincts, known issues from your dog’s history, and how everything is intertwined to help the dog that stands before us today… and you.
