The founder of the CDD method, which is a holistic way to teach dogs naturally, instead of relying on training with commands.
Reactivity isn’t failure—it’s communication. Your dog isn’t “getting it wrong” when they react; they’re telling you how they feel. The goal isn’t to suppress reactions but to build emotional regulation, resilience & recovery. Listen, guide, & support. 🐾 #DogBehaviour #CDD #thecddmethod

Dogs don’t ‘test boundaries’—they communicate needs. Reactivity isn’t defiance, it’s emotion. Behaviour is never ‘just bad’—it’s a response to something. When we stop seeing dogs as problems to fix and start seeing them as minds to understand, everything changes. #CDDMethod #ListenToYourDog

What if we spoke with dogs instead of at them? What if we taught them through trust instead of training? The CDD method isn’t about control—it’s connection. No commands, no bribery, no force—just real dialogue. Because dogs deserve to be understood. #RethinkDogParenting #CDDMethod #ListenToYourDog
