Dog Workshops & Coaching Sessions

Compassionate Dog Training - Seattle

Looking to reduce barking? Does your dog love a good battle of tug-o-war with the leash? Is your dog chewing up your favorite pair of sneakers? Each session includes individualized actionable steps for both you and your dog!

Urban Pack offers workshops and individual dog coaching & consultation in the Seattle area. Each session is designed to focus on bringing people and dogs together so that we can all thrive. Afterall, behavior happens in the context of our family systems and environment - and in alignment with temperament, experiences and core drives. Individual coaching sessions will include a holistic assessment that will help us on a specific behavior (or behaviors) so you can build relationship you want o have with your dog.

All training sessions use force-free methods with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. Compassion, understanding, and kindness (for and towards dogs and people:-) are central to our techniques. With over 35+ years of education experience, Coach Mike will walk you through all the basics of understanding your dog better. Learn more about our group workshops and individualized coaching sessions!

“My approach to working with dogs and people has evolved over more than three decades of teaching and facilitating movement and play for kids of all ages. I think learning happens best with a playful attitude in an environment of caring, clear and consistent communication.” - Coach Mike
