Feeling overwhelmed?

Does your dog do any of these?

Jumping up
Pulling on the lead
Barking excessively
Problems staying home alone
Chasing small animals
Stopping on walks
Lunging at other dogs
Struggles with visitors

Have you tried obedience, socialization, or dog training classes, but felt like you needed more, or they were too much for your dog?

Have you sought help online, from family and friends, or even dog professionals, but find yourself more confused and overwhelmed about how to overcome your dog's frustrating behaviors?

I hear you. I see you.
I was you.

Helping you restore harmony in your relationship with your dog.

We love our dogs, and want to do our best for our furry family members.

We humans also have our own needs that must be met in order to live our best lives with our dogs.

If you are living with an anxious, excited, or reactive dog, it may feel like you're the only one, but you aren't!

Modern life is busier than ever, and many dogs are struggling to cope in the human world.

Dogs who are anxious, excited, or reactive, are "having" a hard time. They are not trying to give us a hard time.

Once we understand the emotions behind their behaviors, it is much easier to help them navigate their environment, and thrive in our families.

I'm here to understand your needs, and help you and your dog learn the skills that will allow you to enjoy your unique lifestyle together.

Hi, I'm Kelley

Thanks for being here.

I want to help you enjoy your dog right now!

Neither of you need to be perfect to live your best life together.

Together, we will bring out the best in your relationship with your dog so that you can get on with the joy of that special bond.

I'm a Dog Trainer and Dog Behavior Specialist, Tellington TTouch Practitioner, and Family Dog Mediator, offering private 1:1 and group services, both in person and online. My specialties are anxious dog training, excited dog training, dog reactivity training, and dog walking training.

In person services are in Boone, NC from May through end of October, and the NC Crystal Coast November through end of April.

All of my services are available online as well, and I would love working with you no matter your location.

I am so excited to help you and your dog create the life you want together.

Natalie & Milo

Kelley’s enthusiasm convinced to me to try out her simple, effective recommendations with Milo and her input has helped to improve our relationship even before my new job has started. Kelley also provided training on how to make leash-walking more enjoyable for both dog and owner, and how to handle encounters with other dogs in a manner that is supportive to Milo, so that he is less inclined to be reactionary.

Before meeting Kelley, I couldn’t fathom leaving Milo at home during a work day but her expert recommendations and ongoing support have enabled me to do so with much less anxiety because I know Milo’s quality of life won’t be compromised.
