Canine State of Mind

Sasha at Canine State of Mind has been a superior coach in helping us to understand our puppies language. She has a deep understanding of dog psychology. She has been with us since we got nugget at two months old. Sasha has assisted us in creating a peaceful confident and independent puppy. Sasha gently and patiently guided us in a whole new thought process regarding raising a dog that is amazing and effective. We highly recommend Sasha and Canine State of Mind for anyone looking for a more compassionate, respectful and mindful way to raise your puppy or dog. This program is not for Training your dog, but to help develop you be a strong leader and the alpha your dog needs you to be. We believe Sasha was sent to us divinely and greatly appreciate her always being there for us. We very much enjoyed and appreciated her passion for dogs.

“ I have been working in a 1:1 container with Sasha with my new puppy, Frodo for the past several months. Sasha has guided me through this critical developmental time. This has been a very enlightening and enriching experience for myself and my dog. Her approach is unique and energy centered. Learning the way of the Alpha will challenge you and deepen your connection with your dog and yourself. Allowing my dog to be a dog and understanding his behaviors, instincts and needs has been key! Sasha has made herself available to answer all my questions and problem solve when necessary with effective solutions that work. Her Masterclass is also an amazing tool/resource, informative and delivered in small clear chunks makes it easily digestible. To reinforce and layer my learning I have read her book and done the Masterclass along with 1:1 work. Also note that there is lot’s of greatest info on Canine state of minds philosophy and tip on her social media. I am loving this journey with my pup and value how we are growing together. Thankful for both Sasha and my pup as MY teachers. 🐺🐺🐺💗🙏 Brenda

We’ve been working with Canine State of Mind over the past year through private training and boarding for our 18-month-old Airedale Terrier and have been pleased with the results and support we’ve received from Sasha. We had sent our puppy to another board and train facility, focused on negative reinforcement, and have found that Sasha’s training methods are much more effective and long-lasting. Sasha has an innate understanding of canine behavior and not only taught us how to train our dog, but also how we as owners should interact with our dog to build a healthy relationship. Sasha was there every step of the way, hopping on the phone to answer our questions between sessions and communicating frequently to check in. If you’re looking for obedience, standard training or basic commands, her methods may not be for you but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort the results are well worth it. The transformation of our dog since day one has been significant - she is happier, more relaxed and better behaved - and we can’t thank Sasha enough! We’ve also had a great experience with boarding our dog and the pick up/drop off options are really convenient. We feel at ease knowing she is under Sasha’s care and able to have the space to run around at her beautiful farm while we’re out of town. We’d love to be able to receive more updates and pictures while she’s there but would recommend Canine State of Mind as an option for longer term boarding (1 week+) stays.
