the doggy lama

doggy lama pet coaching is a Capitol Hill-based practice dedicated to helping people like you to build the best possible relationship with their dogs.
My name is Bonny King-Taylor and the short, spotty guy below is Bartleby.
I came to pet coaching through observing people in the parks and on the sidewalks of our neighborhood through the eyes of a coach and therapist. (See my coaching and counseling practice here.)
What I noticed is that, if we don’t help our dogs to be good by using the 3 Ps...patience, pride and practice…the dogs become erratic and exhibit behavior that isn’t just annoying to other people and dogs, but is behavior that actually puts the dogs in danger.
That just isn’t okay with me.
It’s my mission to help you to help your dog to be good. Using only positive reinforcement, operant conditioning, and humane techniques, we make behaving politely and exhibiting self-control easy and fun for your dog.
Every doggy lama pet coaching session includes a holistic approach to teaching you everything you need to know to create a happy, healthy relationship with your dog. You will also get bonus tips on nutrition, equipment and other environmental factors that contribute to your dog’s behavior.
