A Canine Whisperer Need help with a behavior problem NOW? |
On-site consultations |

A dog whisperer understands dogs, and trains people to be better dog owners. It goes by many names - dog reader, dog facilitator, dog communicator, dog whisperer - not to be confused with a pet psychic or even dog trainer, though it CAN encompass some training. Training is more effective with understanding. When you understand your dog, training goes faster and and problems are easier to correct. There is nothing psychic about it.
Many problems people have with dogs is due to a lack of understanding of dog behavior. We are primates and don't always understand the way canines think. A dog is a pack animal that has different priorities, feelings and needs than humans. I teach pack dynamics, dominance, and leadership so you can better understand your dog's behavior. I solve problems and find common sense solutions, using understanding, knowledge and positive reinforcement. The reason behind some behaviors are not clear until you understand them.
Learn to recognize dog behavior, and what it means. Learn how we humanize dogs and how this impacts their relationship with us. Don't give up, get information and have a better relationship with your dog(s).
From insecurity to aggression, you CAN improve how you communicate with your dog. Get help with dog problems. I am a professional member of the IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) and have done "dog whispering" for over 20 years.
Some of the areas I can help with:
. Dogs & Children
. Fights & Dominance issues
. Hyperactive dogs
. House manners
. Aggressive dogs
. Lonely, Bored & Neurotic dogs
. Fearful dogs
. Pack behavior, Multiple dogs
. Discover what your dog is trying to tell you with his behavior
For 20 years I have helped people keep problem dogs in their homes, including some very powerful breeds, by helping their owners understand normal dog behavior. There is almost always a workable solution.
Other problems we can tackle together include:
. Housebreaking
. Latchkey dog behavior
. Separation Anxiety
. Puppy Socialization
. Food, toy and dog aggression
. Grooming issues (cooperation)
. Anxiety (both the dog and the owners)
. Insecurity, nervousness and more.
Change is always possible, but it will take your cooperation and possibly some hard work to turn around a problem dog. There are no bad dogs or quick fixes. We train people to better understand and cope with their dogs. We don't board and train dogs, nor do we teach obedience - we teach owners common sense solutions and techniques to decrease problem behavior and make your dog a better pet.
On site home consultations are available in SE Michigan at an hour minimum and are $70/hr plus drive time. Get immediate assistance by phone. Most problems can be identified and a plan of action worked out in just a couple of hours. Phone & email consultations have a 10 minute minimum and are $60/hr. A credit card is required.
Example of a typical consultation visit: We discuss the behavors you are experiencing, what you have tried, and your past and present dog experience. We then meet the dog and try to recreate the problem to further understand the situation. Then we work up a plan to modify behaviors to get the results we are after - from the dog and the owner. If necessary, we will schedule follow up visits to make sure the plan is working and make any modifications necessary.
