Finding peace together


Positive. Practical. Peaceful.

Ball of sunshine. Full-time dog person.
Hi, I'm Nancy.
I've spent my life learning to understand dogs—not just their behaviors, but their feelings, their fears, and their deepest needs for safety and connection.
My approach is rooted in compassion, science, and real-world practicality. I believe every dog needs to be understood, to have a second chance and always feel security and peace.
"Understanding your dog brings peace…and peace changes everything!"

Wanted Real Change
Nancy helps both dogs and their people create more peace, trust, and understanding together.
"Nancy worked wonders with both of our dogs! She was incredibly patient, answered all of our questions, and even took my anxious phone calls when we were expecting our first child and I needed advice about introducing the baby to our fur babies. My Cane Corso, in particular, made incredible progress. Her behavior is completely transformed thanks to Nancy's guidance. Nancy is reliable and always follows through - something we really appreciated. We're so grateful we found her!"

"Nancy is such a kind soul, and the exact right person to work with dogs. We didn't have an extreme case dog but she still put in so much work with us, and remains available to this day for progress updates and advice. She taught us so much about dog communication and really trained us to notice how the dog is trying to communicate with us. Priceless learnings and could not be more thankful. The peace walks are also incredible and safe exposure. 100% recommend, love that Nancy is in our back pocket forever!"

"Nancy is excellent at what she does. She has a talent for understanding dogs and the ability to help humans to help their pets. She is compassionate and never gives up on a dog. My Oscar was a rescue dealing with reactivity. Nancy working with us has helped make a positive difference in our lives. The dog peace walk she provides is another example of how she goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend Nancy."
