If This Feels Familiar, You're Not Alone
You love your dog, but lately… something’s just not working.
You’ve tried to stay patient. You’ve followed advice. But nothing seems to stick—and you’re starting to wonder if it’s you.
Have you been here?
🐾 Your dog only listens when nothing else is going on—forget it if there are people, squirrels, or distractions around.
🐾 You’re constantly managing jumping, barking, pulling, or ignoring—and it’s starting to wear you down.
🐾 You’ve tried treats, classes, or even trainers… but the results didn’t last, or didn’t feel right.
🐾 You just want to enjoy your dog and trust that they’ll listen—without having to raise your voice or rearrange your life
Good News! You’re NOT the problem.
You just haven’t been shown how to work with your dog—instead of against their natural instincts.
Imagine a Dog Who Listens Because They WANT To
Not Because They're Scared NOT To
It’s not a dream—it’s the result of real understanding.
When you learn how to meet your dog where they are, they naturally want to follow your lead.
That’s what I teach here at How 2 Speak Dog.

The Not So Gentle Giant
Before: A large dog who would jump on his owners when they came home—so strong it hurt.
After: With one simple change at the gate and consistent follow-through, he learned to stay calm and wait to be greeted. Within weeks, the jumping stopped completely.

From Fear to Family
Before: A dog so fearful of strangers, his family was sure they could never travel again. No one could watch him.
After: Using a calm, no-pressure intro, he approached Amy willingly within 30 minutes—and became a regular daycare and boarding client for life.
★★★★★
“His mom was floored. She kept saying, ‘How did you do that?’ I just listened to what he needed.”

The Dog Who Changed Everything
I had already been training dogs for nearly 20 years when my own Jack Russell Terrier, Cricket, challenged everything I thought I knew… She was reactive, loud, and impossible around other dogs. And all the scolding and correcting I tried? It made things worse.
It wasn’t until someone helped me see that she was scared, not stubborn, that I stopped trying to control her—and started comforting her. The change was instant.
That moment changed her life… and mine. It’s why I do what I do today.

How We’re Different (And Why It Matters)
Not all dog training is created equal.
Here’s how How 2 Speak Dog compares to the traditional approach—so you can make the choice that’s right for your family and your dog.
Still Wondering if This is Right for You?
What makes your training different from what we’ve already tried?
Most training focuses on controlling your dog’s behavior.
I focus on helping you understand what’s driving it—so you can teach your dog to listen in a way that actually sticks.
No intimidation. No one-size-fits-all obedience. Just clear, kind communication that works fast.
My dog is stubborn/hyper/anxious—will this even work for them?
Yes—because I don’t try to fit your dog into a box.
We build a plan that fits them and you. Even if other trainers haven’t helped, you’ll see why this approach is different—right from the start.
I’m not sure I have time for training right now. What if I get busy?
I get it! That’s why I focus on small, high-impact changes that fit into your real life—not extra work you’ll never stick with.
Most clients tell me they start seeing changes with just a few minutes a day of the time they arleady spend with their dog.
Do you use any punishment or aversive tools?
Never. I use only positive, relationship-centered strategies backed by science and built on trust.
No e-collars, no yelling, no fear—ever.
We’ve already spent money on other trainers. What if this doesn’t work either?
You’re not alone—many of my clients come to me after working with multiple trainers.
But when you finally stop focusing on obedience and start focusing on understanding, everything changes.
That’s why my clients often say they see more progress in one session with me than in weeks elsewhere.
Can the whole family be involved?
Absolutely—and I encourage it. Everyone in the household should feel confident and connected, not confused or left out.
I make it easy to get everyone on the same page, so you’re not undoing each other’s progress.
