At Next Step K9 Center we don’t just teach sit, down, stay. We work with you to create relationships of harmony. We base our work on the Ethology of the Dog and use the L.E.G.S Model to evaluate each dog to help meet their needs of not just the dog but the family too.

“Family Dog Mediation isn’t a training methodology- it is an approach where we, the professional, study the “whole” dog from multiple angles- learning, environment, genetics, and self- with the singular focus of attempting to understand the *why* behind behaviors a dog in our care may be exhibiting- then using that information to help the dog and the human meet in the middle.” – Family Dog Mediation 

When we meet the needs of the dog we can help their quality of life, solve why the unwanted behavior is occurring. This is Dog training revolutionized and made easier for pets and owners!

Built upon decades of well-established behavioral science spanning multiple disciplines, the highly celebrated Dog L.E.G.S.® Model of Applied Ethology behind Family Dog Mediation® is changing the entire conversation in the dog behavior industry. ~ The Dog Door (https://www.dogdoorcanineservices.com)
