Welcome to the world of Connective Training.

Starting from 2002 I have shifted the behavior of over 2500 dogs. My main focus when working with a dog is to asses their mental, emotional and physical wellness before we even begin our journey. All dogs are completely different and I have a myriad of training methods and philosophies to help you to understand what may be going on for them.


I will help you get to know your dog on his/her level and we will begin there. I have trained under many life masters in order to offer you this terrific insight on dogs and how to create a balanced relationship . I also work with a team of practitioners in order to get the best help available for any and all challenges. All training is done in the light of love, compassion and clarity.

Come visit me in my training facility located in the North Quadra St. area of Victoria and I can promise you that you will leave knowing your dog like you have never known before.

Blessings.
