Training by Tara, LLC DBA K9workingmind

Are you fluent in dog?

My name is Tara Stermer. I have been in the canine behavior field for 37 years and absolutely believe every person that owns, or is owned :) , by a dog can benefit from understanding a dogs language. You can find me most days in Austin, Texas working to help people understand dogs, and the behaviors that cause frustration on both sides of the leash.
I hope this site helps more people enjoy and cherish the time they have with their dogs, by understanding why they may be acting or reacting as they do. Visit our website at www.k9workingmind.net or email us at k9workingmind@gmail.com for information or help.

Bridging the Communication Gap

Communication between an owner and their dog is the most important factor when working towards any goals with our dogs, but it is often the most over looked aspect of working with them. Wouldn't it be nicer if our dogs understood what we were asking and wanted to work for us? It is time to help decrease the frustration on both sides of the leash. If you are interested in more, check out our communication clinic!

This is all about K9 Workingmind's Resource Guarding program. If you suspect the dog you are working with may attack over an item (has Resource Aggression RGA), please be sure to follow the RGA program for safety. Any dog starting this program must have already been solidly practicing leadership skills and out of the three protective areas (bed, bathroom, dining area) for this to be effective.
