Training Philosophy

Rhys with Ricki

June truly believes that training leads to happier, healthier relationships between dogs and owners – and really has a lot to do with keeping pets and their owners together. Sadly, dogs and owners that never learn how to relate to each other often result in an owner placing their dog for adoption. June works hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.

As well, she believes her many years in her field have given her the ability to “speak dog” and understand a dog’s behaviors in ways that its owner may not.

“People always try to place human emotions on dogs – it’s totally natural to do that. But the reality is that dogs don’t have the same emotions as humans and thinking this way causes owners to misinterpret what’s happening with their dog. I help owners understand what a dog is really thinking or why it is exhibiting a behavior so that the owner can correctly interpret it and manage it,” says June.

June wants all owners to experience the fulfilling, happy relationships with their dogs that she has with hers. And training is the foundation for creating this.
