Our Difference
We focus on the foundations of behavior—those elements that foster trust, bonding, and joy.

Holistic approach: We believe in a holistic approach that considers your entire dog, your lifestyle, and creating solutions that work for you. As a scientist, Caitlin Coberly values both our intuitions and emotions as crucial aspects of maintaining a great relationship with our dogs. While science is a powerful tool for understanding our world, it is just one of the many resources we use.
An “Emotional-Rational” Perspective: We believe dogs are inherently wired to love and want to be close to us. Like humans, they prefer a conflict-free existence. However, dogs also have needs, wants, and fears—similar to us. Sometimes, they struggle to communicate those needs clearly, or they may express them in ways that are inappropriate or even dangerous. Our goal is to change that!
We help you understand your dog and teach you how to communicate in ways that make sense to her. We also work on teaching your dog to communicate with you in a polite, pleasant, and easily understood manner. Our emphasis is on equipping you with skills that you can apply repeatedly in different situations, allowing your relationship to grow stronger day by day and year by year.
