Regardless of whether you are…
A proud new owner of a puppy
A guardian of a dog with behavior challenges
A dog owner who knows things could be better
… take the first step towards the lifetime of freedom and adventure you’ve been seeking with the signature, proven framework of The Way of Life® Method.

What makes the Way of Life Method different from other dog training methods?

#1

We focus on the root cause of your dog’s behavior, not just the issues you see.
The Way of Life Method looks beyond dogs’ problem behaviors, such as reactivity, resource guarding, or aggression. These are only symptoms of a deeper dog- human relationship issue. If you are ready to stop making excuses or labelling the dog as the problem, we will help you heal your relationship and enhance your way of life.

#2

We strengthen bonds without reinforcement techniques or control tools.
The Way of Life Method doesn’t use obedience training or control tools to change a dog's behavior. We believe that tools like head halters, remote collars, and prong collars demean dogs, undermine our bonds with them, and create more problems than they solve. Instead, we teach you to strengthen your relationship through your way of life.

#3

We go beyond fixing problems to help you raise a sound, strong, and spirited dog.
The Way of Life Method is a whole-life approach that doesn’t end when your dog stops manifesting problem behaviors. We help you raise a sound, strong, and spirited dog who is immune to dysfunctional behavior, just as a healthy body can fight off disease. A dog raised this way has much more to offer than a dog trained to obey.

How to Heal Your Relationship with Your Dog and Raise a Sound, Strong, and Spirited Companion (At Any Age)

THE METHOD

Even the most loved dog can drive their owner crazy with behavior issues. Getting to the root of your dog’s problem behavior starts with looking at your way of life.

Drawing on almost two decades of experience dealing with common canine behavioral issues, dog trainer and relationship coach Souha Ezzedeen sees these issues as symptoms of relationship trouble. In The Way of Life Method, she offers a unique and revolutionary framework for rearing dogs and helping them recover from behavior issues kindly and permanently.

THE METHOD

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience, dog trainer and relationship coach Souha Ezzedeen has developed the Way of Life™ Method to empower you to lead a life of greater ease and deeper bonds with your dogs, no matter their age or life experience.

This radical and intuitive new approach is geared to dog owners who are willing to rise to the task and develop a deeper understanding of who their dogs are at their core.
