Attention Unlocked

There is so much going on that can pull our attention and our dogs’ attention in different directions. That’s why we turned to two experts, professional dog trainer, Juliana DeWillems (CPDT-KA, KPA CTP, CBCC-KA, CDBC), and Dr. Nathalie Edmond, a licensed clinical psychologist and a certified yoga instructor with over 500 hours of training, to bring you this course to help you teach your dog to pay attention to you while practicing human mindfulness yourself.
