About PivotalChange.ca
“Hi! Sparky here!” is the usual way I start all my videos. I like to visualize that we are sitting together having a coffee, preferably way out in the forest with our dogs. I enjoy people. Their quirks, fragility, and the passion for their dogs. In every case I work on I hear all about the issue, and without fail it follows by, “he really is a wonderful dog”.
Deeply respectful of evidence-based facts and modern human-dog psychology, my career has spanned thirty years in changing belief systems. When dogs and humans become partners in life, it adds a dimension of complexity simply because of a language barrier, and of course, different needs and desires. When I work with my own dog, it is with a sense of daily wonder that a sentient being is connected to me in ways both treasured and fragile. It requires focused effort to keep our relationship strong and healthy. I bring this same attitude when I work with you and your dog. It is important to protect, maintain and ultimately enrich your partnership with your dog, while establishing a healthy relationship.
All dogs are about peace, love and cooperation. It is in their DNA. When we see something go awry on any of those dimensions, well, there is an imbalance to be fixed. Investigating where the problem lies is a lot like peeling back an onion. We can’t just look at the outside, but need to examine the layers of the dog’s beliefs, personality and characteristics relevant to the behaviour. It is essential when making lasting change in your dog to shift its mindset and feelings. Developing new skills through training is not enough with serious behaviour issues. A plan is needed to not only develop new ways of thinking, feeling and acting, but also to sustain it for life. It takes time and there will be challenges, and I coach my clients every step of the way.
The one characteristic clients have noted about working with me, is really getting to know them. Many become friends of mine for years, keeping me updated on fun anecdotes as a testament to strength of their relationship and peaceful joy of having a friend that is a dog.
