Cousin Anne helps create happy and healthy dog human relationships.
Dogs are pack animals. Typically, the human gets a dog and brings it into the human world, on human terms. Iit can be confusing for a dog to understand what we humans want them to do for us, their pack leader. Therefore, it is up to us to protect and direct our dogs in a way that will provide mental well-being and health.
In order to accomplish this, Cousin Anne:
* Focuses on the body language of the dog
* Seeks an understanding of the dog's mind
* Observes the energy of the dog with and without their human
* Exercises with the dog before training
* Provides the tools and guidance for both human and dog to practice together
