It all started when I had kids.

Raising children and dogs together is no joke.  But what was surprising (and helpful!) was just how much overlap there was in both the kids' and pups' needs: safety, boundaries, support, protection, and play.  I quickly realized that to create a harmonious life, my dogs needed more than just traditional training. 

SO much of life happens outside of 'sit and stay'.

And I wasn't alone.  My clients, amazing (and overwhelmed) parents, were struggling and craving a simple system to navigate family dog life.  

So, I created The Dial Method - to make something tricky feel simple.

While clearly, dogs aren't kids, they are our dependents and they need something different from us.  Now YOU can supercharge life with your dog, before doing even a drop of training. 

So much of our success lies in what WE do... not just what we ask of our dogs. 

We don't buy 'baby training' books when if we get pregnant - because we know that it's up to the grown ups to create the right environment for the baby to thrive.

And it's no different for our dogs. 

They land in an unfamiliar world, with zero idea how to navigate it.  So, they're relying on us to be a sturdy parenting figure, showing them how the world works - and teaching them the skills to get the best experience of it.  All in a clear, consistent, and kind way. 

Be the pet parent that your dog dreams of.

As an author, international speaker, producer of viral videos and leading industry educational programs (for dog pros and the public) I want to help YOU feel that peace, confidence, and clarity that you're doing an amazing job - and take the bond you have with your dog to the next level.
