Way of Life Dog Training

Way of Life™ Dog Training coaches clients in creating strong bonds with their dogs, aiming for a lifetime of fun and freedom. Working with relationship rather than surface behaviour, we coach people in designing ways of life that nurture sound, solid, and spirited dogs. Therefore, we help owners not only get off to a great start, but also address issues such as anxiety and reactivity, where present.
