I started Lupa K9 because of my love and fascination with the canine-human relationship. I wanted to offer a unique hands-on training experience to allow owners with dogs that struggle with behavioral issues such as aggression, anxiety, and fear based behaviors to be a part of the training process and see amazing results. Dogs and humans have different communication styles and my goals as a trainer are to help owners learn how to decipher what their dog is communicating to them and how they can communicate in a way that he understands. I’m sure you have heard that the key to any successful relationship is communication. This is sound advice that applies to all types of relationships, including the human- canine relationship. I care deeply about every family I work with because I know first hand how stressful life can be when you have a dog that exhibits unpleasant behaviors. Clear communication and strong leadership are paramount for a sustainable and healthy relationship with your dog.
Just like us, every dog is unique with different needs and motivations; therefore, each dog thrives best with a training method specifically tailored to those needs. My methods utilize a holistic approach that targets your dog’s motivations through a consistent balance of rewards and corrections. This balanced approach creates clear consistent communication, structure, and leadership between you and your dog and allows you to paint a clear picture of what behaviors are appropriate and what behaviors are not.
