We meet each dog (and human!) where they’re at, to provide personalized care and training, with empathy, compassion, and respect.

Our training focuses on coaching, teaching, and guiding our dogs in appropriate decision making through habit formation and enhanced emotional regulation. We use drives (pack, prey, defense) as well as both classical and operant conditioning techniques to shape behavior and cultivate a calm, healthy mindset through agreement and disagreement with dogs’ organic choices.

As Jen (owner and operator) is a behavior change nerd who spent many years in graduate school studying chronic disease self-management through lifestyle interventions using the lens of behavioral economics, our favorite parts about training are helping owners sustainably fit dog training into their daily routines, shaping mindset and behavior in the pursuit of holistic health and wellness, and increasing quality of life. Change is hard, but by habit stacking, creating new patterns and routines, breaking large goals into smaller ones, tracking progress, celebrating wins, and creating a customized action plan, we can see incremental success over time. We consider ourselves human centered, leading with empathy, kindness, and vulnerability.For more information, check us out on Instagram or Facebook at @maudeandthebulldogs –  or read more on our website!!
