Unconditional Love Animal Teaching

10/30/2023

This is a beautiful offering to help deepen your connection with your own animal, or the ones you work with.

This component is generally paid too little attention in dog training, yet integrating it into how you train & interact with you dog (and other animals), is so, so important for a harmonious life together.

This is a wonderful offering that will certainly make a difference in so many ways ✨

For my English speaking friends and clients. Finally the Online Course Learning to tune in to Animals is ready!

I'm happy to announce that we are starting in January.
For more info, please visit my website, using the link below in the comments.

It's going to be an amazing journey together!!

Love, Els

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve taught in the classroom… over a decade… but i felt right at home being with these kiddos yesterday, talking about some of my favorite things: dog behaviour, energy, crystals, mindfulness… what an absolute delight!

A huge thanks to Amber of for inviting me to share with these beautiful, shiny souls at this week’s camp 🙏

Her programs absolutely amaze me… I highly recommend checking out what she does at her amazing retreat Center, Rocky Ridge Retreat, in Dewinton. It’s a magical place ✨

We created 30 Fi 2 Crystal Collar pouches for this INCREDIBLE organization last month, and I am BLOWN AWAY at the work that Angela Stell and her team do for these dogs.

Simply amazing ~ THIS is an organization that your donations go a long way if you are looking for a special place to support 🌟💛🐾

How is your dog at the vet?

Lilah was a rockstar today getting her blood & urine drawn by needle.

We work with the staff to create good feelings when there, and I ‘chat’ with her (more energetically than anything) about her visit before we get there, and she does great!

As with anything in dog training, or I prefer to refer to it as ‘animal teaching’ as it’s a two-way street of teaching & learning from each other, we do practical things while also tuning in to the energetic considerations of any given situation, and work from there.

Life is so rich, especially with our furry loved ones, when we can get quiet and choose to see from several vantage points.

If you’re feeling like you could use some further guidance regarding your pup’s behaviours, check out our online one-on-one sessions and reviews (link in bio).

A very special thanks to holistic vet clinic for your excellent care and consideration for our dear Lilah! She looks forward to walking through your door, despite all the poking & prodding!!

This may just look like an average dog walk but let me tell you, this walk was like we cracked the code at long last!!

Skyler is a HUGE puller with an incredibly high prey drive and a lot of concern about what might be happening all around her in the big scary world!

After struggling on a walk a few days ago, I decided we had to change something pretty dramatically!

Yesterday I did only long line work with her and it was a fabulous start. She could move around and be drawn back to me like a dance.

After the groundwork we laid yesterday, I realized we needed a front clip harness (back clips can often encourage pulling ~ oppositional force).

So today we set our with the right tool & mindset, tuning carefully into this girl’s needs.

Our main goal became SLOWING DOWN. Not heeling or walking like an Angel… I simply wanted to offer her the opportunity to experience feeling calmer instead of high strung.

So while the Easywalk harness worked great, and the practices from our long-line work were helpful, we found that the third ingredient of this recipe for success was to slow down A LOT.

It reminded me of the time I stayed at a Buddhist ashram in Thailand when we would do walking meditations.

Honestly, it felt great for me too, and I highly recommend anyone to try this practice with your monkey-minded pup with your focus, patience & deep love for your animal companion!

Adventures & Ponderings with Miss Maddie…

Monitoring States of Mind and paying attention to what escalates your dog and then dialling the activity back will help you to connect better and achieve greater success moving forward.

Slow & Steady 🐢

Very wise words!

Tackle the smaller issues first before trying to ‘fix’ the most challenging ones 🙌
