A Family Dog Mediator® who believes that kindness mattters

Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, I am the first Family Dog Mediator® in Ontario! One thing, that as a FDM® I'm very passionate about, is bridging the gap between what our dogs need and what we, as their caregivers, want. I focus on in-home training but also offer virtual sessions for those that prefer to not have in-home sessions or for those located globally.   

My goals are really quite simple:   

1. To help dogs and their caregivers to develop stronger bonds. 
2. To help people see the world from their dogs' point of view. 
3. To help dogs become confident, feel safe and understood. 

There are many other things that I'd like to do and other goals I'd like to reach but those I will accomplish with each individual dog and their individual caregivers based on their individual needs. There are many "basics" that can be learned and more "advanced" behaviours that might need to be addressed but underneath it all, the goal is to empower every dog and human to live together with understanding, kindness, compassion, empathy and love.  To read more about our different approaches, please check out Our Methodologies at the top of the page!
