Relationship ARTT Consulting
(Acceptance, Reframing, Trust -> Transformation)
Learn the artt of listening…not dog whispering!
If we listen, our dogs tell us when something is too hard for them.
⠀
They tell us when they need something.
They tell us when they are scared and uncomfortable.
⠀All their behaviour is communication and all we need to do is listen.

ARTT & philosophy: To facilitate understanding and compassion by stepping into our dogs paws. To listen to and meet our dogs needs while our dogs learn about ours. To increase communication and connection through patience and acceptance, which opens the doors to building a trusting, mutually attentive and cooperative partnership.
What is Relationship ARTT?
ARTT (Acceptance, Reframing, Trust-> Transformation) are the steps you need to get from where you are today, to where you want to be with your dog. Relationship ARTT Consulting will guide you through these steps on your unique journey to a cooperative partnership lifestyle with your dog without needing to rely on treats or toys or training, so that you can love life even more with your dog starting today! Why wait?
What can Relationship ARTT consulting do for you?
The core focus is teaching people how to live their best life with their dogs starting today!
Using unique lifestyle and relationship consulting and a holistic heart centered coaching approach, that will teach you the art of dog listening so that you can communicate with your dog on a deeper level and enjoy a well behaved dog without obedience training.
All behaviour is communication and it starts with whispers. Through understanding your dogs whispers and their core needs, you will learn to create a strong partnership with your dog based on heart felt connection, communication and trust, so that you can stop training and start loving and living your best life together today.
No matter what your breed or behaviour struggle. Learning to understand your dog is at the core of the issue! Your dog doesn't need more training, better treats or toys to learn to be ‘better behaved’, they just need to be listened to and thats exactly what you will learn how to do.
A big misconception in the dog training world is that we must pay our dogs to work for us. This simply is not true!
“While there’s nothing wrong with giving your dog things like tasty treats and fun toys, they are not viable means to build a trusting partnership lifestyle with your dog” - Kathy Kawalec
Dogs are incredibly intelligent social beings that thrive on deep and meaningful relationships with humans that go far beyond being an employee, simply treating and praising your dog for good behaviour does not meet their core needs. They want to be truly valued for who they are and not what they do.
“While transactions have a place in dog training, your love for one another shouldn’t be solely based on transactions. A relational relationship with your dog is where your dog feels safe, calm, and happy in your presence because they trust you.” - Kathy Kawalec
You will learn to meet your dogs core needs and how to live a life together that is safe calm and happy!
And why is feeling safe calm and happy important in our relationships with our dogs?
“Social animals have evolved to form circles of safety where members of the tribe, herd, and family feel safe and like they belong. The natural response to feeling safe amongst our own is trust and cooperation.” - Simon Sinek
Another fundamentally flawed concept in the dog training world is the idea of Leadership. Its true do need leadership and boundaries but a good leader is not dominant, forceful or coercive. Relationship ARTT consulting teaches you to be the kind of leader your dog really needs!
“The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” Rick says, “is a quiet confidence, quiet self-assurance. You know what you want to do; you know what’s best for the pack. You’re very comfortable with that. You have a calming effect. Point is, alpha males are surprisingly nonaggressive, because they don’t need to be.” ― Carl Safina, Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel

What is Holistic?
|
A holistic approach means addressing the whole dog from the inside out. It takes into consideration the physical, mental and emotional health of the individual dog and treats the root causes of the issues instead of suppressing them.
This means addressing each and all factors in a dogs life that could be effecting their behaviour, analyzing diet, types of exercise, previous training and supporting their health naturally and minimizing toxin exposure. Most importantly we look at behaviour as a form of communication and listen to what a dog is telling us and take a flexible integrative approach where the goal is to create a safe calm and happy environment and lifestyle for both you and your dog. |
