This quote has always resonated with me. It reminds me that each of us has the power to make a difference… even me.

 

So I left my veterinary practice manager position on a mission to change the world for dogs. In my 30 years of working in animal hospitals, I witnessed increasing numbers of dogs struggling with fear, anxiety, and stress, many relying on medication just to cope with daily life. 

​​

Wanting to be part of the solution, I became a professional dog trainer, and founded Souly Dog in 2022. Not to conform to the model of conventional obedience training, but to advocate for a change in how we relate to our dogs. To prioritize connection over control, wellbeing over obedience, and healing over heeling.

​

My first step was to create a safe, restorative space for dogs to express instinctive behaviors and fulfill their physical, emotional, and social needs. A place where nervous systems relax, stress lowers, and many "problem" behaviors resolve, creating optimal conditions for humane, force-free training.​

​​

I invite you to join me on a journey toward behavioral transformation that can't be achieved through training alone. Away from the noise of the digital world, and surrounded by the quiet, healing power of nature.
