Gestalt: Holistic Dog Training

Gestalt (noun): the sum of many parts and the way those parts interact. My gestalt, or holistic, dog training approach takes into consideration the whole animal; their needs, their preferences and their environment. Using this holistic approach, I can find solutions to behaviours while respecting the whole dog.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and emotional well-being is my top priority. I use a combination of positive reinforcement, enrichment and teaching loose-leash walking skills to achieve this. House sitting: My own dog will come with me for overnight stays; she is spayed, up-to-date on shots, and highly sociable with other animals.

Kirsten communicates very will before and after walks, is reliable, and able to provide a high standard of learning for my pooch! I’m thrilled to work with her.

Dog Walking • Mar 11, 2026

Kirstin is fantastic. She was the first dog walker we had after bringing my rescue dog home, and she was such a huge help with leash manners, attention redirection, helping her to get comfortable with nail trims, in addition to all the walks. We are bummed that she is moving and can’t continue with us, but I know she will be making a difference for all the other pets and pet parents she meets in her new location. If anyone needs a dog walker whose first priority is understanding and meeting your dog’s needs with genuine care, choose Kirstin.

Kirstin is fantastic with my dog. She has helped a lot with basic training and conditioning and truly cares about her animal friends. I have been so lucky to have her as my regular dog walker!

Kirstin was able to help us very last minute. She stayed the full hour of the drop in visit, and gave my dogs some needed attention. She followed the directions and provided an update which we appreciated. We would book with her again.
