Owner & Canine Behavior Consultant Dee Green has been professionally nurturing human-canine relationships for 20+ years, on the westside. About 10 years ago, dissatisfied with the results traditional dog training delivered, Dee began to re-examine how she communicates with dogs and their people. Dee re-examined dog behavior from the dog’s perspective, and began modeling her methods on behaviors she saw dogs using to communicate with other dogs. Today, Dee operates at the intersection of human & canine behavior. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s programs prioritize trust over obedience. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s methods never involve force, fear, or coercion. Santa Monica Dog Coach’s canine behavior philosophy honors canine agency & consent.
