WHAT IS HOLISTIC DOG TRAINING?
Holistic training means recognising that behaviour is only one part of the story. It considers the dog's emotional wellbeing, nervous system, physical health, genetics, environment and individual needs before deciding how to help. Rather than asking, "How do we stop this behaviour?"
we ask "Why is this behaviour happening."
BRINGING CHANGE
for dogs who need more than a quick fix
Founder Shanae has spent over seven years working across a wide range of training methods and disciplines. That journey led her to a more compassionate, science based approach rooted in holistic and LIMA principles.
Today, her focus is on helping dogs by looking at the whole picture, not simply addressing the behaviour in front of us. Not simply using compulsion as the answer.
WE WANT your dog TO truly thrive
The academy was created for dogs who need more than a quick fix. It's for dogs who deserve to feel safe, understood and supported so they can truly thrive.

"THE IN PERSON SHADOW DAYS ARE FANTASTIC"
I've just completed Shanae's private mentorship and I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. Shanae is so incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but also genuinely passionate and a truly lovely human.
The mentorship is comprehensive, covering behaviour, reactivity, health, breed needs, raising puppies, and the business side of things. The in person shadow days are fantastic - getting hands on with different breeds, personalities and stages in their training is so important and observing how Shanae teaches clients was amazing. The highlight for me was getting to observe Shanae handle her lovely dog Nyx during a chiropractor appointment. A very delicate, intense situation, getting to watch her apply her Canine Touch techniques with her own dog was nothing short of incredible.
If you're wanting to get into dog training or enhance your existing skills, I highly recommend you mentor with Shanae. No matter what your approach is, you will learn so much from her that you can add to your training toolbox, and you'll have an absolutely fantastic time doing so.
