Brilliant Partners are kind, loving, calm, clear, cooperative, attentive, and responsive — and when WE learn how to be Brilliant Partners, our dogs do too.
It’s a win-win-win!
Now, that doesn’t mean that we live in a fantasy world filled with only rainbows and unicorns.
A partnership lifestyle means that when life throws rocks (or boulders) at us, we are more confident in moving through the hard times.
And if our dog has a meltdown, it doesn’t mean that we are a failure as a dog mom, it simply means that our dog is having a hard time right now … and we know what to do next.
When your dog feels uncomfortable, vulnerable and unheard … their behavior escalates from a whisper to a scream…
Having a sensitive, anxious, hyper or reactive dog is tough.
When your dog is trying to tell you something that you don’t understand, it’s frustrating - for both of you.
Since dogs can’t talk it out, they ACT it out.
When your dog feels uncomfortable, vulnerable and unheard … their behavior escalates from a whisper to a scream.
• Your reactive dog completely loses it around other dogs or triggers.
• Your excitable dog pulls and barks when you try to go for a walk.
• Your distracted dog won’t come if you don’t have a cookie.
• Your fearful dog panics, hides or barks and can’t be calmed.
• Your independent dog just doesn’t seem to want to bond with you.
The longer that loop repeats, the shorter the dog’s trigger becomes…and their behavior keeps escalating as a result…as does our own overwhelm, worry and frustration.
After years of study and working with thousands of dogs and their families, we have cracked the code and are able to consistently and reliably break free of this overwhelming spiral.
It starts with us, the dog moms, leading the way to a life of feeling safe, calm and happy. Our dogs (and other family members) learn how to behave and how to calm down by following our steady lead.
We learn simple partnership strategies for staying grounded, clear, and kind. We use simple frameworks and implement simple daily practices that lead to better behavior, a better bond, and a brilliant life with our dogs.
This is what you’ll learn how to do in the Brilliant Partners Academy…
… so that you and your dogs can feel calm, happy and truly enjoy your life together.
That’s what I want for you!
