SEE THE DOG: NEW WAYS TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BEST FRIEND
One of the best things about dogs is how hard they try to communicate with us. They use their eyes, their bodies, even their voice, and of course, those amazing tails!
We can trust our dogs to tell us the truth about how they are feeling in any moment, and that is an incredible gift in any relationship. But did you ever wonder if maybe you’re not quite getting the message? Or if you’ve misunderstood your dog?
Or perhaps you just want to learn more, more, more! Suzanne’s holistic Relationship Centered Training approach encompasses the whole dog – physical, mental and emotional.
