Are you struggling with a dog that has bad leash manners? Maybe a dog that barks at everything on walks? Maybe it’s a shy dog that warms up slowly or never warms up to people or dogs?  Wholistic Canine can help! 

We offer private dog training sessions in your home or an approved location so we can work on these behaviors in a safe and controlled location. As a locally woman-owned dog training company in Sacramento, we pride ourselves on being wholistic in our approach. That means we are going to look at your dog’s mental health, physical health and nutritional health all while working on the behavioral side. In many cases, we find a lack of communication, consistency and understanding of how your dog learns is the real problem.

By working with a professional dog trainer, you will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog and work together as a team. Contact us today to schedule a free phone consultation!

Dog training through Perception modification is something that Wholistic Canine specializes in. Perception modification is the process of changing an animal’s view of the world, and helps them feel more in charge of how the world engages with them. There are many different behavior modification/ perception modification techniques, and the one that is used will depend on the dog’s & owner’s individual needs.

For example, if a dog is afraid of people, a perception modification technique may be used. We would use classical conditioning to build a communication system with your dog. Once those words are understood, we practice with them around very basic commands before we use them on things that put your dog over its threshold. (Threshold is that invisible line that makes the chemical change in your dog’s body and causes him to take action, typically one we don’t like.)

My job will be to help you learn how, when, and where to train to accomplish your goals with minimal disruptive behaviors happening.

You will also find that I still offer balanced techniques with clients if that is their request. I have many clients that love to have reliable off-leash recall and would like to use a remote collar. That is something I offer to the clients that are interested and have put the leg work in to accomplish those goals without remote tools first!

Wholistic Canine has the experience and expertise to help your dog become obedient and well-behaved.
