Is this your dog?

  • Overreacts to everyday situations

  • Easily startled or always on high alert

  • Barks, lunges, growls or tries to avoid “scary” things

  • Not making progress with training

  • Something feels off, but you can't pinpoint what

Your dog isn’t just dramatic or stubborn; they’re struggling. I can help you make sense of your dog’s behaviour and show you how to navigate the world together.

Hi, I'm Kaeli.

I'm a certified force-free trainer and Dynamic Dog Practitioner.

I help pet parents support the unique needs of their sensitive dogs, even when everything feels overwhelming.

My journey began with my own dog with “big feelings”, Freya the sheltie, who used to bark and lunge at every bus, bike or plastic bag. As a sensitive dog in a busy city, she needed support, not more obedience training.

Now I’m here to help you let go of the outdated rules about what you "should" be doing, and implement practical strategies to make life safer and more predictable for you and your dog.

Our Approach

Accessible

We're here for sensitive humans too! All plans are individualized for each pet parent’s situation and capacity, and we’re happy to discuss additional accommodations related to neurodivergence, disability, or anything else that affects life with your dog.

Humane

You can call our style positive reinforcement, force-free, rewards-based or evidence-informed. We focus on building skills, better choices, and positive emotions, not “corrections”. We’re accredited by BC SPCA's AnimalKind program.

Enrichment-based

We look at the full picture of your dog’s world, because their environment, emotions and physical wellbeing shape how they behave. Training is most effective when we set dogs up for success throughout their entire day.

Collaborative

We work alongside the other professionals on your dog’s support team, like veterinarians, dog walkers, and other trainers. We share our observations about your dog’s behaviour and movement; we don’t make diagnoses or prescribe treatment.
