About the workshop:
Stage-by-stage strategies for raising your dog the way nature intended
A walkthrough of what’s happening in your dog’s head at every step from infancy to young adulthood, and how to work with nature’s plan instead of fighting against it.
We’ll show you what you can learn from wolves and free-roaming street dogs to make your life easier and your training smoother.
No matter what life stage your dog is at, there’s something for everyone here:
Puppy and teenage dog parents
After this workshop, you should feel… steadier.
Ready to hold on and enjoy the ride, instead of getting emotionally thrashed about like a rag doll with every high and low on your pup’s developmental rollercoaster.
You’ll understand the why behind all of Sparky’s unsettling behavior changes. You might even see silver linings in the changes that frustrate you the most.
- Get a clear sense of what to focus on now, and what can wait until later.
- Stop unnecessary stress and drama (like trying to train specific skills in a phase where it won’t stick)
- Avoid common traps that can lead to aggression later
- Survive the rebellious teenage phase
- Learn how to handle reactivity in a teenage dog (our answer might surprise you)
- Build trust by meeting your puppy where they’re at
- Enjoy your dog more by setting realistic expectations for each phase
Adult dog parents
A lot of adult dog behavior makes more sense when you understand what should have happened in puppyhood.
- See how puppyhood shaped the dog you live with today
- Uncover insights that explain lingering challenges or quirks
- Build a stronger bond with your dog, built on understanding and realistic expectations
This workshop is designed to help you cut through the information overload, and prioritise the seemingly never-ending list of stuff we need to do to raise our puppies and teenage dogs.
So much of the current dog training and raising advice takes the nature, intuition, and soul out of dog ownership. We want to help you put it back.
We designed this workshop to help you tap into what nature is teaching your puppy throughout their life, rather than battling nature at every step – ‘cause she’s kind of a force to be reckoned with, and if we insist on taking her on, we often lose pretty bad.
For all my 90’s video game kids, think of this workshop like getting the cheat codes to your puppy’s brain.
