Riz is ready to work on his virtual lessons with his makeshift kaptop!

Virtual training has been a huge shift - but one that I am really loving. While physically more distant, it allows me to meet clients where they are with their dogs - adjusting assignments to busier weeks, keeping in touch, and reviewing training sessions at home. Any good trainer is ensuring transition of skills, but training virtually means having the time to discuss individual challenges in depth and giving the human side of the leash the support you need to be your dog’s best advocate.

When there is so much more to behavior change than skill building, working virtually lets me see the whole picture for lasting sustainable change.

Starting October 6, introduce odor from the comfort of your couch!
Nosework is often hailed as the perfect sport for the reactive dog but that doesn’t mean the classroom is always the ideal space for them. Virtual courses let you focus on the fun - building behaviors step by step at your dog’s pace.

Whether you completed Introduction to Nosework with me and are ready to dive back in, or finished your introduction in another class that - for reasons of schedule or temperament - you are looking for an alternate way to continue, Odor Foundations is the next step in your Nosework journey… and it’s all online.

Training plans that center around *doing* life, not just performing it. All because of one pit bull and her GSD bestie.

September classes are open — here’s what’s coming.

The Compass is a new kind of foundations course. Rather than manners as we usually think of them, The Compass focuses on the skillbuilding that makes life with your dog actually work — regulation, communication, confidence, and yes, a few engagement skills too. This course is the foundation behind everything I do in my 1:1 coaching work, and it’s rarely offered to the public. Mondays at 6pm, starting September 7th. Free for active Wayfinder clients.

Intro to K9 Nosework — your dog learns to find a specific odor hidden in the environment. No prior training, no special breed, no experience needed. Just a dog following their nose and loving every minute of it. Mondays at 7pm, starting September 7th.

Scent Circle runs Tuesday evenings on an ongoing basis — for nosework students ready to continue their scent journey once their dog is on odor. Open to my students and those coming from other instructors.

Skill Tree is open enrollment anytime — a self-led community with regular activities, enrichment, and skills to keep your training relationship alive.

Have you met Like Magic’s Junior Trainer? Cassidy has been helping me with dogs and training herself since she was old enough to walk. Artemis is intended as her dog and she’s getting the chance now that we’re settled to really solidify that bond.
Cassidy is 10 years old today. It is ALSO national dog day, and I have some announcements for the coming month that I’m really excited about - but, that’s going to wait until after the birthday celebration concludes.

In the meantime, comment a wave 👋 to the birthday girl and let me know about any of your childhood pets!

Karma is very interested in the world outside. While there’s no plans to ever have her outdoors unattended, unsecured, or out of reach, management always can fail.
Refreshing Karma’s recall lets her enjoy some time outdoors while also keeping an ear out for when she might need to be called to me - because it’s time to go inside, because of a safety concern, or just because she’s venturing a little far away.

Prevention or restricting access to something your pet wants doesn’t reduce interest - it often increases it. Instead, teach them to interact appropriately with the freedom and behaviors they need to be fulfilled.
