We help people and dogs thrive together
San Francisco-based Dog Trainer & Photographer
We are on a mission to improve communication between humans & dogs
Dogs and people speak different languages. We use words, but dogs communicate non-verbally. They see the world at a higher frame-rate than we do. Every little twitch of an eyebrow or an ear can have meaning to our pups. We help you understand how dogs communicate, so you and your pup can be on the same page every time you interact. This helps unlock better behavior and a more fulfilling relationship.
How can we help?
Potty training
Leash pulling
Jumping & mouthing
Problem behaviors in the home
Off-leash recall
Socialization & play
Manners
Obedience
Shyness & bravery
Barking, lunging, reactivity
Our philosophy: P.E.T.
Partnership: we help you strengthen your bond with your dog, by creating open communication and clear understanding of each other’s needs
Empathy: we help you unlock the meaning in non-verbal communication, so you can hear what your dog is saying and respond to their needs
Trust: when you understand each other, behavior and relationships improve, and everyone’s more at-ease
