You have not seen anything like this before!

Are you tired of listening to professional dog trainers who blindly follow what other humans have told other humans about what other humans know about dogs?

Rather than studying a human’s beliefs about dogs and dog training and then trying to force it on our dogs, then blaming dogs and owners when “human stories” are defeated by “natures realities”…

What if we start studying the DOG and teaching OURSELVES?!

These workshops are interactive, hands-on and fun!

Ready for a little NURTURE BY NATURE?

Tickets sales are conveniently through the site. You can attend with or without your dogs.

FAQ:Should I bring my dog?

Answer: If it won’t be distracting for you, feel free to bring your dog. The main value of the workshops are the lessons people can extract from the experience. Optimal learning should be the goal for attendees.

MASTERING THE LEASH WALK – 3:30 PM, December 2nd, 2023

Location: YDBF Training Center – 225 Border Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405

Cost: $115

The message is sent and received the moment I show my dog that the leash gives me power when I pull. Come learn how to use the leash as a communication tool. You and your dog can erase bad habits together or you can raise your puppy to never know that the leash can restrain! You will enjoy the end where they walk with you without holding the leash. If you sell choke collars, prong collars, harnesses, no pull harnesses, no jump harnesses & gentle leaders, you may not like this workshop!

AGGRESSIVE DOG TRANSFORMATION – 3:30 PM, December 9th, 2023

Location: YDBF Training Center – 225 Border Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405

Cost: $135

Training aggressive dogs is hard, but not for the reasons one might think. Most dog training is oriented around teaching information. So what happens when our dog needs social and emotional support? What happens when this lack results in our dog acting out in a way that is dangerous? The answer is dog training breaks down and we are stuck with the same fear and confusion that our dog is experiencing.

Our solution is a dogcentric approach where we aim to understand what our dog is going through and then respond in a meaningful way.

Our guide is a two part recognition. My dog is socially brilliant & my dog thinks like a good person.

Our tool is natural born intuition.

With this foundation you will find it effective and fun to start to identify, what is my dog going through and how to I respond in a meaningful way. It is uplifting and inspiring to see how “dog listening” can lead to quick transformations for dogs and their families who have been struggling for years and have already tried “everything”.
