Counselling for Dog People

Problems with Your Dog?

Sometimes sharing our lives with dogs doesn’t turn out to be as easy as we thought it would be. Maybe you are experiencing challenging behaviours that you don’t know how to deal with. Perhaps you’ve worked with dog trainers and other dog professionals, but are still having difficulties.

Our Dogs Feel Us

Our dogs feel what we feel even when we can’t. This is an important aspect of living with dogs and the impact is generally not fully appreciated. As humans we can ignore, or be totally unaware of how we feel, but our dogs can’t NOT feel us.

I work with you on the difficulties you are having in your relationship with your dog. Being able to talk about the difficult things, in a safe non-judgemental environment, can lead you to a better understanding of what might be going on. It can help you get a different perspective. It can also help you in other areas of your life.

Experiment

If you want to investigate more about how your dog is picking up on your emotions you can try experimenting at home. It is a fascinating subject even if you’re not having difficulties.
