Mellow Dogs
Share
I offer private, in home sessions in the Portland, Salem, Bend, and Eugene areas, as well as the rest of the Willamette Valley and along the Oregon coast.
Virtual sessions available everywhere. Being a Mellow Dog doesn’t mean your dog won’t be energetic. The purpose of my assistance is to help reduce unnecessary stress in our companion animals so that they can be their best selves. Learning to notice when our dogs are stressed and respond accordingly helps them to deal with that stress appropriately, and hopefully avoid behaviors that are considered

A dog’s purpose… Humans have bred dogs for various traits. These traits are embedded in their genes, and part of the antecedents that contribute to how a dog acts. This Jack Russell was bred to hunt rats and squirrels. When the stable owner where I keep my horses told me she needed a terrier because the barn is overrun, well… two birds with one stone!

Letting go of an agenda can be exactly what our dogs need.
Mellow Dogs: There's a good dog in every dog. Even when someone is using L.I.M.A. methods and avoiding aversives, it can still be aversive to a dog when we have an agenda in determining how the dog is supposed to behave.

This is Mia. She was saved a half an hour before euthanasia by people who didn’t understand her fear. Eight months after taking her in as a foster, understanding and helping her work through her fear, she is a happy and contented dog. She likes hanging with the dog gang. Hopefully we can find her a forever home.
"Dominance theory has shut off scientific research and has crept into medicine to the point where we think we can do things to animals whereby we are asking them to ‘submit’....dominance theory is insidious and has crept into everything we do with dogs and it’s wrong. It has gotten in the way of modern science and I’ve just about had it. Every single thing we do with dogs hurts them because we don’t see them as individuals or cognitive partners." Dr. Karen Overall, 2016.
