She teaches that living with a dog in the city  is a collaborative process and by working with the owner, a customized and sustainable lifestyle plan for both dog and owner will be created. By teaching the owner how to effectively communicate with their dog, Cousin Anne believes that a home environment that fosters good behavior in addition to building a strong bond between the owner and their dog can be achieved. Her holistic approach has helped many dog owners have a better relationship with their dog.

Dogs are pack animals. Typically, the human gets one domesticated dog and brings it into the human world, on human terms. So, it can be confusing for a dog to understand what we humans want them to do for us, their pack leader. This is where practicing dog psychology can address the needs of the dog as well as the human.  Therefore, it is up to us to protect and direct our dogs. In order to accomplish this, all prospective clients should understand that Cousin Anne:

• Focuses on the body language of the dog

• Seeks an understanding of the dogs mind

• Observes the energy of the dog with and without "their" human

• Exercises with the dog before training dog

• Provides the tools and guidance for both human and dog to practice together
