We love our dogs and we want the best for them, so expanding our knowledge about what drives them, how to keep them healthy and how to provide them with the best life ever, is always at the forefront of our relationship with them.

That's why I created the Decoding Your Canine Summit Series. The next summit starts next week and you will learn so much about your dog including training & behavior, health and well being.

I've brought together 25+ dog professionals to talk on topics ranging from reactivity, enrichment, loose lead walking, recall and separation anxiety, of course! There's also talks on health including massage, vaccines and so much more.
