WHAT IS DOG PSYCHOLOGY?

  • In the field of Dog Training, there are three main disciplines: Dog Obedience Training, Dog Behaviour Training, and Dog Psychology Training.

    Dog Obedience training looks at the surface level of a dog’s reactions. Dog Behaviourists look at the inner workings of the dog’s mind, and while we as Dog Psychologists work along the same lines as Behaviourists, we also take it a step further and consider the dog’s energy and how our energy interacts with them.

    Our philosophy at Full Moon Dog Psychology is to help change an association in your dog’s brain. We work to shift their reactions when they see a trigger (cat, dog, bike, new person, …) to calm instead so they can live a confident and secure life.

  • At Full Moon we use soft, slow, and calm touch training techniques to help communicate to the dog to shift their mindset away from an unwanted reaction they are having. This technique helps to re-wire the dog's mind from unwanted reactions and replace a new pathway to calm instead.

    Full Moon original dog training techniques, developed by Founder Ashley Bauscher, are easy to learn and consistently acheive results.

  • Any behaviour, breed, or age, our Dog Trainers have impeccable success rates:

EXPERT DOG PSYCHOLOGIST

ASHLEY BAUSCHER

We had a great experience training with Ashley. She is patient, full of knowledge and has excellent training methods. My dog loved her too! He’s gone from highly reactive to much much calmer around other dogs. Training methods are easy to remember and easy to use. I highly recommend Ashley and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.
