Bringing Calm to Your Home, Anywhere
At Canine Zen, I specialize in virtual dog training that is effective for all types of dog behavior modification, including separation anxiety, reactivity, aggression, and more. My online dog training services are designed to help you better understand your dog. Together, I work through common behavioral challenges in a way that fits your lifestyle.
Why Virtual Dog Training Works:
Flexibility, Accessibility, and Control
Virtual dog training offers you the flexibility to train your dog from the comfort of your own home. You receive personalized dog training that specifically addresses your dog’s unique behavioral needs. Whether your dog struggles with separation anxiety, stranger danger, or dog reactivity (barking, lunging, growling), I can help you create lasting solutions that work.
Convenient & Personalized
With virtual dog training, you get tailored sessions that fit your schedule. I’ll guide you through the process when I meet weekly online and tackle new skills and review progress. I use an app for in-depth video feedback. Customized, step-by-step exercises are provided daily to ensure that you and your dog progress at your dog’s pace and help you keep track of your dog’s progress with ease. Finally, you can get extra help by visiting my regular online office hours.
Environment Control
for Reactive Dogs
One of the key benefits of online dog training is the ability to control your environment. This is especially important when working with dogs that exhibit reactivity, including barking, lunging, or growling. I can create a calm, controlled setting to help you reduce these unwanted reactions. I build your dog’s confidence and prepare them for real-world situations.
Comprehensive Support
You’ll have access to handouts, progress tracking, and personalized resources, all designed to help you achieve your training goals. I dedicate 2-3 hours per week to your situation, ensuring that you receive the support you need between training sessions to help you grow in partnership with your dog. While your dog learns new behaviors, you will learn how to understand and support them in challenging situations. I guide you in nurturing and maintaining your bond with your dog so you can build the lifelong relationship you seek.
The Canine Zen Approach to Dog Behavior Modification
Canine Zen’s approach to dog behavior modification is rooted in empathy, compassion, and mindfulness. I understand that each dog is an individual and their behavior stems from underlying emotions like fear, anxiety, or stress. That’s why I emphasize a gentle, non-judgmental approach to help dogs overcome challenges like separation anxiety, aggression, and reactivity in a compassionate, patient way.
​
Through consistent and mindful training, I help your dog build trust and gain confidence. This results in calmer and more appropriate behaviors. No one is perfect! Embracing imperfection and practice in training allows us to focus on progress. By ensuring that you and your dog move forward at a pace that feels right for your family, you can reach your goals!
