The Science of Dog Training

Get behavior back on track through modern dog training

Welcome to the next generation of dog training! If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, whether pulling on the leash, jumping on guests, barking excessively, not listening or biting and chewing – we can help.

As a Licensed Family Dog Mediator, we can help you understand your dog’s unique requirements, characteristics and what is causing the behavior issues.

The Yin Yang Dog’s ultimate goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, resulting in a more fulfilling relationship for both of you.

Choose from flexible training options with online and hybrid packages as well as individual consultations. 

“With moving, a new baby, and so many guests in the house, Sammy was dealing with a lot of change. Not only did he get kicked out of daycare (for overstimulation) and started soiling the house (after being housebroken), he was exhibiting anxious behavior in general.

Alexandra was compassionate and understanding with my fur-baby, and able to help us start our journey toward a mentally healthy dog. She was responsive, flexible, and clear in both her expectations and understanding our day-to-day schedules. If you put in the work, this really does work.”

Comprehensive 6-Week Training Packages

Training packages for those who want to get to the heart of their dog’s behavior issues, and make lasting changes.

We will assess your dog, their daily routines, and needs before creating a tailored plan. Packages include daily training practices for you, including taking videos to share so we can track progress and maximize results over 6 weeks. 

Our packages address a range of challenges, including, but not limited to: leash walking, greeting guests and other dogs, digging, recall, chasing, living with other pets, anxiety, and reactivity. We also help you understand your dog more fully, including breed-suitable enrichment games and environmental management.

What makes The Yin Yang Dog different?

As a Family Dog Mediator, my training is based on the L.E.G.S. behavior model. By using this model, you’ll gain valuable insights into your dog’s breed, needs, and temperament, enabling you to understand the root cause of behavior challenges and make more informed decisions about training and care.
