Mindful Dog Teaching

Development in progress

Note: When animals misbehave, and especially when they behave aggressively, there is always a root cause. While this cause is often behavioral, a significant number of cases of aggression and inappropriate behavior are caused by physical problems such as thyroid dysfunction, skeletal misalignments, ear infections, tooth and gum disease, and vision problems. Especially if your animal's behavior changes suddenly, see your veterinarian first for a thorough checkup! 

The information in these workshops complements veterinary care; it is not a substitute for it.
