Pets have feelings too

We believe that every dog a training experience that honors their individuality. Our gentle approach focuses on positive reinforcement, recognizing that our pets have their own thoughts, feelings, and anxieties.

 

We prioritize building trust and understanding, ensuring that each training session tailored to meet the unique needs of both the dog and their owner. With compassion and patience, we aim to create a loving environment where dogs can thrive and develop confidence.

KIRA SHRADER

HI THERE, MY NAME IS

I’m Kira, a lucky dog who found my forever home with Di in Las Vegas back in 2016. I was labeled aggressive by my previous owner and faced a grim fate, but Di saw something in me and chose to give me a second chance. It took time, patience, and lots of love for us to build trust, but now we share an unbreakable bond. Our journey has taught me that love and patience can transform even the most troubled hearts.

 

Over the years, Di has learned how to help me feel safe, and while I prefer my alone time when it comes to other animals, I cherish the companionship of my cat brother, Max.

  • Loves catching toys in mid-air!

  • Is Diana's best friend

  • Born a desert dog but is a snow dog at heart! 

  • Total foodie!

  • LOVES his reiki sessions

Animal Communication

This intuitive approach recognizes animals as sentient creatures with their own wisdom, emotions, and spiritual essence. By attuning to subtle energies and vibrations, practitioners serve as compassionate bridges, facilitating heart-to-heart exchanges that foster understanding, healing, and mutual growth. This sacred dialogue not only deepens our bonds with animal companions but also awakens our innate intuitive abilities, leading to greater empathy, awareness, and harmony in our relationships with all of nature.

Private Training

Basic manner dog training focuses on nurturing a harmonious bond between dogs and their humans by teaching essential behaviors that promote positive interactions. This holistic approach includes commands like "sit," "stay," and "come," alongside leash walking and socialization, fostering a sense of trust and understanding.  With these skills, owners can create a balanced environment where their dogs feel secure and confident, enhancing the overall well-being of both the pet and the owner as they navigate life together.

Reiki & Communication

Reiki is an energy healing practice that promotes relaxation throughout the body. Animals with anxiety, depression, health complications and more will greatly benefit from this practice.
