Decode Your Dog: The L.E.G.S. Framework Every Dog Guardian Should Know $29.00
One of the most common questions I hear is:
“How do I stop this behavior?”
It’s an understandable question — and it’s the wrong place to start.
We can’t meaningfully answer how to change behavior until we understand why that behavior is happening in the first place.
Behavior is not random.
It is information.
In this presentation, I’ll show you how the Family Dog Mediation® L.E.G.S. framework — Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self — helps us uncover the why behind your dog’s behavior so that the how finally makes sense.
You’ll learn how to:
Look beyond labels like “reactive,” “stubborn,” or “anxious”
Identify the real drivers of your dog’s behavior
See how health, stress, history, and environment shape what your dog does
Make thoughtful, effective changes that actually improve behavior
Learn our top 5 hacks to make living with your dog easier
This approach doesn’t give you a script to “fix” your dog.
It gives you understanding — and with understanding comes better decisions, kinder solutions, and real progress.
If you’re tired of trying things that don’t work and wondering what you’re missing, this talk will change how you see your dog.
Register now to learn more about the question that changes everything: “Why is this behavior happening?”
Every dog owner knows that along with the joy can come the stress and frustration of behavioral problems. Family Dog Mediation decodes the “why” of dog behavior so you can get to the “how” of changing it.
Using cutting-edge research, Family Dog Mediation’s groundbreaking system allows owners to identify what their dog is struggling with, why, and how they can fix it. This approach is unlike any other and will give dog owners a new understanding of what motivates and affects their dog's behavior. Family Dog Mediation’s innovative technique rethinks how we categorize dogs and distills information from over 20 scientific disciplines into four comprehensive elements: Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self. You will leave this presentation with the top five Family Dog Mediation hacks for the most common and bothersome behavior problems.
