Welcome to Debbie’s 4 Dogs LLC: Where Ethics is Paramount
At Debbie’s 4 Dogs LLC, I offer nothing but the best relationship-centered dog behavior consultant services. Sometimes we spend too much time trying to “fix” a dog when we should look at the reasons why a dog is feeling uncomfortable and go from there. I have completed my coursework in Applied Animal Behavior. I ...
When it comes to connecting and building trust with your fearful and reactive dog, new puppy, older dog or rescue who needs time to decompress, Debbie's 4 Dogs is not founded on the belief of a "one size fits all" approach.
My positive and caring coaching philosophy instills that every one-of-a-kind dog ...
Kindness always for the win! is my motto as I help you and your 4 legged loved one together on this journey of life.
As someone who once counseled humans, (In a past life) I can tell you that no human or dog should ever be subjected to aversive methods. Pain, fear, and intimidation only hurt a relationship. ...
Be a Voice for Kindness
Dogs deserve guidance that is rooted in trust – not pain, fear, and intimidation
The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior advocates for humane, reward-based training methods. Sadly, not everyone is aware, and many dogs are still being trained with painful and outdated methods.
Please, please, please be cautious of anyone who tells you that training requires pain, fear, intimidation, or physical discomfort.
Shock collars, prong collars, harsh leash corrections, and even flat collars pulled hard, or "gentle leaders" (which are anything but gentle) can cause pain, fear, and stress. These methods can damage the trust we work so hard to build.
And when someone says, "I only use the beep now," remember – the beep represents the possibility of pain. A dog's body still releases cortisol and experiences fear and stress, even if the jolt isn't delivered. It's no better.
Compassion creates confidence
They deserve patience.
They deserve compassion.
They deserve to feel safe with the people they love most.
They deserve training methods that build their confidence.
They deserve a life free from fear and intimidation.
If someone tells you that hurting or frightening your dog is necessary, find someone else. Find a professional who has a heart made out of paws and will truly understand the long-term effects these methods can have on your dog.
