Tell me if this sounds like you:
-
You want your dog to feel less anxious around people so that you can enjoy having company over again
-
You want to have people over without feeling embarrassed that your dog will jump on people, or be unable to calm dow
-
You wish you could take your dog more places, but they are so friendly it's impossible to walk them because they drag you everywhere
-
You want to enjoy walks with your dog, but it's impossible because they bark and lunge at other people or dogs which gives you anxiety and scares you
-
You've tried countless training methods and nothing seems to work, leaving you feeling frustrated and like you've wasted your time
​​
If this resonates with you then you're not alone
Good news!
I help my clients with those same problems every single day.
​
​
...And if you're like any of them, you've probably made
some of the same mistakes.​
Focusing on
"The Problem"
instead of the skills
Focus on developing your dog's skills, not just addressing behavior problems. Teaching skills helps manage emotional issues that lead to bad behavior, resulting in overall improvement, less anxiety, a more peaceful life, and a stronger bond with your dog.
Mistakes like...
Training in the Wrong Environment
Setting your dog up for success is crucial yet challenging. How do you know when to introduce a challenge and if your dog is ready? In the My Dream Dog Course, we answer these questions and provide a system for introducing challenges and triggers.
Cherry Picking
Training Methods
If you often find yourself addressing one training issue only to have another arise, it may be due to cherry-picking methods and relying on tips and tricks. The My Dream Dog Course emphasizes a proven system that tackles behavior at its root. This comprehensive, individualized training system helps you and your dog solve training problems at the root to create lasting change.
Imagine If...
-
You could take your dog to an outdoor restaurant, knowing they’d stay calm and relaxed by your side.
-
You felt proud when your dog walked politely on the leash during a stroll through a crowded park, and proud of yourself for knowing what to do no matter what!
-
You finally had control over your dog, trusting them to behave well at family gatherings, making it possible to visit friends and relatives more often.
-
You could look forward to bringing your dog along for a day at the beach or to your kids’ sports games; activities that once seemed too stressful.
-
You felt comfortable and confident hosting a barbecue, knowing your dog would greet guests calmly and not jump on anyone.
-
You felt assured that your dog would come when called, even in distracting environments like a park or on a hike
-
You knew exactly how to help your dog stay calm during a busy event or when the doorbell rang.

you and your dog need

Hey I'm Val!
"I'm a professional dog trainer who helps committed dog owners overcome training challenges so they can enjoy a joyful, carefree life with their dream dog!
My journey began as a veterinary assistant with plans for vet school, but a chance encounter with a cattle dog on a Colorado highway led me into dog training. This dog became my dog Lewen! Who I also think of as my guardian angel. However, our journey together has not always been easy! His past human aggression and reactivity issues really sparked my passion for understanding canine behavior, and I've been immersed in it ever since.
Alongside dog training, I'm a devoted mom to two horses, with a 25-year love for all things equestrian. My animals aren't just pets—they're my greatest teachers. Through them, I've learned that animal training is a profound journey of personal growth, showing me that transforming our habits can transform everything about our lives.
I've guided countless dogs and their owners to more peaceful, joyful lives together. I see myself as a 'human trainer,' helping people make necessary habit changes to achieve success with their furry companions.
In essence, my work is about more than training dogs; it's about fostering transformative connections and empowering both humans and animals to thrive together."
Why I created this ...
"...I wanted to share what I have learned with more people so that they could experience more freedom, joy, and peace with their otherwise reactive, overexcited, uncontrollable, or aggressive dogs; like I was able to with my own dog. Through the My Dream Dog course I am able to share more information with more people. I truly believe that the dogs in our lives are really here to teach us something. To make us more aware of how we operate in the world and all the ways that we can change and grow with them on our journey together. Training is a very sacred and transformative experience to me. It's the process of building a deep heartfelt connection with another living creature and it's something anyone with a dog should be able to experience!..."

Have any questions?
Can I really learn to train my dog online?
Yes! My online courses feature me talking to the camera directly, or show me working with various different dogs so that you can get all the theory you need for why we are doing something, and observe "the how" through video. I actually find this more effective since it requires people try the work more themselves and gives you more time to allow information to sink in and experiment with the process. You can also watch videos as many times as needed, which you would be unable to do at an in-person session. You can also move at your own pace which makes online courses a great way to teach and learn dog training since it really should be done at your dog's pace.
How long will it take me to see results?
This is very dependant on how consistent you are in your training and your skill level. Since you are most likely just starting out it will take you time to learn skills correctly, and then you will have to teach those skills to your dog. There are two learners involved in the process of dog training so daily dedication and consistency are VERY important. Your results also depend on where your dog is starting from, your dog's genetics, and the extent of their behavioral issues and your goals with your dog.
Is this course good for puppies?
Yes! This course is a great start for a puppy, or an older dog who has done previous training. This course is great for any dog regardless of their age, breed, or disposition. This course will not detail puppy specific issues like house training, but will incorporate all the skills necessary to teach your puppy to be a model citizen. You can also ask more specific puppy questions in the facebook or during a Q&A.
Do I need anything for this course?
Lots of small, soft, treats with healthy ingredients. I recommend specific 6ft and 15ft flat leashes (not round rope types), and otherwise you should be good!
What is your refund policy?
14-day Money-back Guarantee If the My Dream Dog Course does not create positive changes in your dog within 14 days of course release, simply email me with your issue, and a video of you completing the exercises outlined in the Exercises Module, and I will issue you a full refund.
Is there a place I can ask questions and get help?
Yes! There is a facebook community group where you can share videos and questions to get feedback on your training journey! You can also meet other people in the group going through the course with you so you are all on the same page. There will also be monthly Q&A's that I will run to answer questions LIVE. Having this added support and ability to get feedback and answer questions is a huge determinant of success and will definitely help support you on your training journey with your dog!
How long will I have access to this course?
You get lifetime access!
Will this course always be this price?
No. This is the first time I am releasing this course so it is being sold at a highly discounted rate. As the course runs and I can improve it based on student feedback it will continue to improve and therefore be sold at a higher price in the future. However, if you sign up now you get lifetime access which means you will share in the improved benefits as the course grows and improves over the years!
