SOMATIC HEALING | NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION | HUMAN-DOG BOND
Dog & Puppy Behavior Training Programs
If you're avoiding walks because your dog pulls and barks, you're not alone. 78% of dog owners report feeling embarrassed by their dog's behavior in public, and many have stopped enjoying activities they used to love. The guilt and frustration you feel watching your stressed dog struggle is real - and it's not your fault.
Are you feeling isolated by your dog’s behavior?
Imagine taking peaceful walks with your dog, having guests over without stress, and watching your dog choose to relax instead of constantly seeking your attention. That's what clients discovered when they addressed their dog's emotional state instead of just trying to manage behaviors.
But maybe your frustration comes from within, because no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to feel successful at being the person your dog thinks you are. If you’ve been stuck in overdrive, constantly worried that you’re not doing enough for your dog, or you’ve become paralysed because of feeling completely overwhelmed, you can create a new sense of balance where you feel in control of your life and have the ability to make the change you’ve been seeking.
Our programs consist of options for dogs, teams, and individuals.
Human and canine trauma-informed professionals using an integration of Nervous System Awareness, Somatics, Poly-Vagal Theory, Neurobiology, IFS, and EMDR modalities.
Meet Dog Behaviorist and Somatic Practitioner Rebecca Gamez
Hi, I’m Rebecca! Whether working with little puppies or dogs of any age, creating a safe environment is our foundation. This includes your sense of safety, too! You might wonder why that’s important, especially if you’re dealing with behaviors that don’t appear to have anything to do with fear. The answer is that unless we have a solid sense of safety, our nervous system will make it impossible for the brain to attain the change we’re seeking. Especially if you or your dog has experienced trauma in your life (and honestly, to some degree, we all have), you need a felt sense of safety before you will benefit from any other work. We’ll go beyond basic dog training to discover the unique benefits of somatics, nervous system regulation, therapeutic touch, and more, for both you and your dog!
What are your goals with your dog?
Why did you get a dog? People often get dogs for companionship, emotional support, and the health benefits of increased physical activity and stress reduction. Beyond these common reasons, dogs provide a sense of purpose, security, and unconditional love that enriches many aspects of a person's life, from mental well-being to social connections. Our purpose is to assist you in reaching these goals and in helping you and your dog enjoy life together.
