What's an In-Home Lesson?
In-home lessons are always private and taught in the comfort of your home. Lessons provide first time or experienced owners with individualized coaching and education on living with their cat or dog holistically. Owners receive hands-on experience in navigating their pets behavior every step of the way. You will have an in-depth understanding of your pets psychology, reasoning behind their actions and what diet is appropriate for longevity. Lessons for cat owners are done strictly indoors and for dog owners, your lessons may progress to outdoor spaces when needed.
Rather than focusing solely on correcting behavior, these sessions help create a foundation of trust, clarity, mutual understanding and healthy communication. At the end of every lesson, homework is assigned to help pet owners stay on track. Owners can reach out at any time for additional support or if you have questions about behavior, diet etc.

Is This Right For My Pet and I?
Every cat and dog owner requires a form of communication in order to set expectations of what behavior is appropriate for the current situation and environment to provide clarity within the relationship. Without clear communication, frustration and confusion may create a dynamic that isn't healthy or productive long-term. Many behavioral challenges are not simply training issues. They are communication issues. They are relationship issues.
If you're looking for a dedicated and intuitive animal coach that provides honest and straight-forward guidance, I am here for that. In-home lessons help you develop a unique and simple language that creates clarity and curiosity. The intention of forming a foundational communication system is to form a relationship with your pet that is based on mutual trust and respect. From this foundation, you can open many opportunities to expand your pets world and create countless positive experiences with your pet throughout their lifetime.
This is helpful for you if:
• Your dog struggles with anxiety, aggression, reactivity, fear or confidence issues.
• You're experiencing communication challenges with your animal.
• You want to better understand your pet's behavior.
• You're bringing home a new animal.
• You want to create a stronger bond with your animal.
• You are interested in a holistic approach to behavior and wellness.
• You have tried other trainers with little to no progress towards goals.
• You want practical guidance that supports both the animal and the human.
What Will I Learn?
During our time together, you will learn how to better understand your animal's behavior, communication style, both physical and emotional needs and unique personality. We explore energy, body language, environmental influences, relationship dynamics and the psychology behind behavior. I teach and coach based on the unique needs of your pet and your lifestyle. Distinguishing your pets personality from their behavior will help you understand the reasoning behind your pets reactions and what to do about it. Every pet owner will be taught how to communicate with your cat or dog using the silent language of the body and energy.
What does this mean? It is the initiation of a conversation that all animals naturally practice. Pet owners themselves will have a better understanding on how to be mindful of their own body language and energy as this has a direct influence on your pets behavior. It is my goal to help you achieve a relationship that is rewarding and in alignment with your goals. This total transformation in the relationship with your pet is the start to a lifetime of meaningful memories.
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Zen and her natural, compassionate approach to dog training. Since working with her, we have seen such a positive change in our dogs’ behavior and in our relationship with them.
When my daughter’s dog, Winnie, moved home, she struggled to fit into our already established pack. There were conflicts and fights, and we weren’t sure how to help them adjust. Zen taught us how to guide Winnie, help her understand the pack, and build healthy relationships with the other dogs.
With Zen’s guidance, the fighting has stopped, the dogs are getting along beautifully, and they now live together in harmony. What I appreciate most about Zen is that she teaches you to understand your dogs and communicate with them, rather than simply correcting their behavior.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Zen has taught us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to better understand their dogs and create a happier, more peaceful home!"
