Beyond Obedience: Building Real Connection by Understanding Your Dog’s Needs.

A science-based approach to creating a call, happy and well supported dog with personalized coaching from a Certified Family Dog Mediator.

What to Expect: An Updated Approach to Dog Training

Understanding:
We look at your dog’s L.E.G.S.® (Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self) to find the root cause of unwanted behaviours. Then we work on meeting those needs in appropriate ways so you’ll see less of them.

Connection:
Instead of learning how to control your dog, we will learn more about your dog and work toward a collaboration between you both, making daily life easier (and happier) for everyone.

Communication:
Learning how to read your dog’s body language is a high priority, as well as making sure they feel heard and understood. Then we can teach them how to navigate the human world confidently, with you by their side.

Meet Lori-Lee: Your Certified Family Dog Mediator

I believe that training isn’t about coercion or control. It’s about education, understanding, and connection.

I am dedicated to empowering both dogs and their guardians with compassionate guidance, educational resources, and hands-on proven skills to help you build your relationship & bond.

I strive to go beyond “Sit, Stay, and Heel” to help you truly understand your dogs needs, meet those needs, and build a strong relationship with them, ensuring you both live happily together.

Neither you or your dog are broken… you just need a better translator!

Your Happy Dog Coach provides the specialized, science-based, canine-focused guidance you won’t find in a typical obedience class.

Are YOU Ready to Build a Better Life with Your Dog?

Your dog can be your best friend.

Work with me to learn how connect with your dog and meet their needs based on science (rather than compliance and quick fixes).
Together, we can use proven, compassionate strategies to discover the root causes of your dogs behaviour, and start building a better relationship today.

Let’s move beyond obedience, together.

"10/10! You were professional but also showing your love of animals was great, together with your enthusiasm. Every question or problem we encountered, you had a solution for, even if we just dropped the problem on you while you were here. We enjoyed watching you work with our pup, she responded so well to your methods. Your excellent personality made it easy for her, and us, to learn in a very enjoyable way."
