Let's Make Your Dog A Go Anywhere Dog™!

Classes are great for some people and some dogs. But, for most it's not optimal! Dog Training Class has one big downfall that keeps many from gaining the success they sought. The biggest distraction from learning that exists for dogs.  Other Dogs!  Most offer no recess time to relieve some of that excitability of being among friends.  Leaving you fighting for focus from your furry friend.  Learning is best achieved when it's fun for both participants, you & dog.  At home you can watch the videos as often as you need and you have your pups undivided attention, making learning a snap.

You will be provided links each week for accessing your Live Office Hours call, where you'll see Jody live.  You'll be able to *raise your hand* at the click of a button.  Once Jody announces your name, you'll be live with Jody to ask your question and talk through the solution.  Live Office Hours are offered at both 11a & 7p Central Standard time.   If you cannot make a call, you may submit your question via email.  Jody will answer your question and a recording to the live call will be available.

Once you sign up for the program, you'll have immediate access to all the videos.  Every two weeks a new group kicks off with your private Facebook community.  Your Dog Life Coach will guide you through the program and be available to answer questions Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  We'll be sharing pictures, video and whatever you want regarding your pups early days with you.  We'll have weekly challenges and sharing of triumphs.  It's a community of new dog parents all going through many of the same joys and challenges.  Your Dog Life Coach will be there for you each step of the way.

Dogs do what works!  DogSense teaches you Reward Based methods, giving and removing rewards to strengthen or reduce behavior.  Our emphasis is on positive reinforcement for getting the behaviors you want, along with teaching you to effectively communicate and modify the behaviors that simply must go.  But, we're not just about training!  We're all about dogs and that includes understanding your new furry family member.  You'll learn step by step how to teach the most useful life behaviors for at home and out enjoying life with your dog.  We believe even more importantly you'll learn to understand and build communication between you and your pup.

This depends entirely on you.  What's your best learning style?  On your own, going at your own pace?  Are you self motivated?  If yes, the DogSense Online do-it-yourself program may be just right for you.  Are you someone who likes to ask questions and get a little extra help?  You'll do great in the DogSense Online + Live Office Hours program.  Are you someone that would like those early days with your pup to be the best experience it can be and help for staying motivated to build your best life with your pup?  DogSense Online + Dog Life Coach will give you the complete package, along with creating memories during those early days you'll treasure for life.

I am on a mission to decode how the dogs we love see the world, how they learn and what really gets them motivated so that we can transform the way we train them. And I won’t rest until we have a world of happy, sociable, confident dogs whose people enjoy every moment of the time they spend with them.

My journey to DogSense started with looking for answers for my own dog, Buddha and brought me into conversation with thousands of bemused, confused and frustrated dog parents who wanted to do right by their dogs, but equally wanted their dogs to do the right things and had failed to find consistent workable answers.

Now, along with Team DogSense, we’re bringing together more than 10 years’ experience in the pet industry with a strong background in the technology development industry to launch a whole new approach to dog training.  Since 2007 I have been counseling and training both dogs and people, guiding them in achieving better lives together.

My business background in technology convinced me of the force of simple, smart communication to transform the way we do things. My experience with dogs and their guardians, pet professionals and rescues convinced me of the need to look at training with fresh eyes – the dog’s. The DogSense approach is based on how our dogs view the world, what influences their behavior and how to motivate them so training becomes a pleasure, not a power struggle.

I’ve enjoyed my work as training and behavior consultant for Safe Hands Rescue and resident dog expert for PetChatz. I founded a state of the art dog daycare, serving over 2,000 dogs and their guardians and continue to consult with dog daycares nationwide on how to enrich environments for the dogs in their care and use effective rewards and motivators to improve behavior. I’m also a very proud graduate of the Academy for Dog Trainers, one of the world’s best dog behavior and training programs taught by Jean Donaldson.

DogSense Online dog training videos cover everything you need for starting out with your new puppy.  From setting your puppy up to succeed, puppy socialization and learning all you need to know about puppy behavior and training.  Raising your puppy to be a social dog is best achieved when you understand your puppy and know how to guide him through our big modern world.  Through our Dogsense Online + Dog Life Coach program, we'll personally guide you through those early days to help get your puppy started out right and living the life of his or her dreams too.
