Beyond Obedience: Coaching for Dogs & Their Humans

Off the Beaten Path Canine Coaching is for people who want more than obedience commands and quick fixes. I offer relationship-based dog training, real-life coaching, in-home boarding, and online resources for those who are ready to go deeper—to build real trust, reduce stress, and feel good doing it.

Whether you’re raising a new puppy, supporting a reactive dog, or just wanting to strengthen the bond with your companion, I’m here to help. My approach blends science, intuition, and lived experience, honoring both the emotional world of your dog and your unique role in their life.

You won’t find rigid protocols or shame-based advice here. You will find flexible tools, meaningful guidance, and a safe space to grow alongside your dog—with support that meets you exactly where you are.

Lindsay is one of the very few people I trust wholeheartedly with my dogs. She has an exceptional understanding of dog behaviour and approaches every dog with kindness and compassion.
