Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self– The L.E.G.S. Model

When we look at the dog in front of us, to truly understand and honor the companion we have chosen to bring into our lives, we need to look deeper and ask all the questions to find out who they really are. To do less would be a disservice to their loyalty and love.

What, how, and who are they Learning from? What influences and lessons is the Environment that they are living in teaching them? Genetics is the ancient hard coded DNA that makes our dogs who they are, inside and out. What do your dog’s specific Genetics bring to the table? And, Self, who are they really? What are their wants, needs, desires, and expectations? Yes, our dogs have those too, just like us.

Join me for a deep dive into seeing your dog for who they really are in a way you may never have considered before. Once we learn who our dogs are, deep down inside, we can be better prepared to guide them, giving them a safer, fuller and more enriched life.
