Our Philosophy

At Soul Dog Training, we nourish every dog’s body, mind, and soul. By understanding their basic needs and meeting them, we can open a realm of possibility in their training. The most successful clients learn to recognize their dog’s behaviors as unmet needs.

How do we train?

We not only understand that every dog is different, but we embrace this diversity by keeping our minds open and our training tool box full. We use tools according to what works best for each dog, considering their temperaments, breeds, and individual wiring. We look at each dog holistically, addressing nutrition, home environment, past experiences, breed, etc. so that we can work with a full picture. As your trainer, I will work to get you and your dog back on the same team, being your coach and advocate every step of the way.

You may notice this graphic is similar to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs for humans! When you are fulfilled in every area, you are even more equipped to fulfill your dog in every area.
