R.E.S.T.™
METHOD

A proprietary and holistic approach to dog training, based in dog psychology and pack leadership using balanced communication

​

When you:

​

• start prioritizing fulfillment of a dog's instinctive hierarchy of needs,

• consider early puppyhood development experiences

• learn how they naturally communicate with other dogs in a balanced pack to build relationships

• understand how dog's form associations with the world

• mirror natural pack behavior

​​

You can start to use every interaction with your dog(s) effectively to shift their perception of you from a littermate or friend to being viewed as their calm, confident pack leader or parent figure

Dogs that are fulfilled not just physically with exercise, and mentally with obedience, but also psychologically and socially in a balanced pack have manners, practice impulse control, and can be trusted to make good choices when given the opportunity to fail

Once you reset your foundation and relationship, and you know all your dog's holistic needs are met, you can set boundaries & build accountability to known behavior expectations sooner and progress faster towards your training goals than when using positive reinforcement or balanced training methods and obedience alone
