  • That's why your membership is your go-to resource for modern dog behavior solutions that put the dog's well-being first.
  • With two live group Q&A calls every month, members can ask about their own dogs and get instant feedback and tips.  
  • Practice a Rewards-Based Approach that's simple and flexible so the results you get are fast and safe for you and your dog. 
 

Eight Special Benefits of  Your Membership

  1. You love your dog to the moon and back! So you hate having friction in the relationship. To fix that, we focus on building the behavior we want so that we can replace the behavior we don't want. 
  2. Answer 5 simple questions so you can follow a framework for training your dog: 1. What do you want your dog to do? 2. What does your dog really want? 3. What useful things is the dog already doing? 4. What's missing? 5. How can we add what's missing and achieve results?
  3. You get more time to actually enjoy your dog instead of wasting your precious time and energy recycling "training" that hasn't ever really worked for you!
  4. Follow a 3- step training rubric so that you always know how to take the next obvious step by just observing your dog's feedback. Don't just look at your dog - really see what your dog is telling you.
  5. Align what you want with what your dog really wants so that friction and resistance disappear and everybody is a winner. Your dog is your partner, not your adversary.
  6. Learn to use the "dimmer-switch" method of giving rewards so that you can keep your dog's attention for a longer time.
  7. Use your superpowers of touch, voice, and body language to create and maintain calm.
  8. See fast results with a rewards-based methodology that doesn't require any complicated skills. You already have everything you need. I'll show you how to make the most of the Superpowers you already have!

A Message for Your Dog and You...

Hi! I'm Marilyn Mele, founder and owner of Dog Wisdom Workshop and the creator of the Dog Wisdom For Dog Parents Membership. This interactive group program fills the gap between costly private training and economical group classes

Whether you’re a seasoned dog person, a brand new puppy parent, or a rescue-dog adopter looking for fewer frustrations, this membership is going to make your life easier and save you from needless stress. 

So many dog parents are struggling to get formal "obedience training" to actually work in everyday life!

What I have found is that "obedience training" seldom results in better behaved dogs in real-life situations, except for people who are already skilled and experienced trainers.

Yet everybody deserves a well-behaved dog and every dog deserves compassion and understanding.

Your dog will do what you want him to do in everyday life when you intentionally meet his need to freely express his nature as a dog.  It's a friendship, not a contest.

As you practice my W.I.N. Method for Family Dog Training, you'll learn how to integrate the three cornerstones of Wisdom, Information, & Nature
