ALL Dogs need ONE thing to thrive :
To feel Safe, Calm and Happy™
Brilliant Partners are kind, loving, calm, clear, cooperative, attentive, and responsive — and when WE learn how to be Brilliant Partners, our dogs do too.
It’s a win-win-win!
Now, that doesn’t mean that we live in a fantasy world filled with only rainbows and unicorns.
A partnership lifestyle means that when life throws rocks (or boulders) at us, we are more confident in moving through the hard times.
And if our dog has a meltdown, it doesn’t mean that we are a failure as a dog mom, it simply means that our dog is having a hard time right now … and we know what to do next.
Having a sensitive, anxious, hyper or reactive dog is tough.
When your dog is trying to tell you something that you don’t understand, it’s frustrating – for both of you.
Since dogs can’t talk it out, they ACT it out.
When your dog feels uncomfortable, vulnerable and unheard … their behavior escalates from a whisper to a scream…
In the Brilliant Partners Academy, we focus on learning how to get calm behavior, a better bond and a brilliant life with our Sensitive, Anxious, Hyper or Reactive Dogs — through Trust, Understanding and Partnership…
…Without Time Consuming or Difficult Training Setups.
It’s time to say NO to:
• Your dog patiently waits at doorways, and gateways until you invite them through…without training a sit/stay.
• Your dog feels calm and attentive to you, even when there are distractions.
• You and your dog learn the skills of leash walking in partnership.
• Your dog understands how to greet people calmly, without needing to jump up.
• You have the skills to communicate with your dog, so that your dog understands, and looks to you for guidance.
The Tree of Trust is like a spiral – the bulding blocks for our partnership lifestyle are the 5C’s that we touch over and over again in a tapestry of creation as we travel our path from starting partnership to master partnership.
As we learn and implement the 5C’s, we continue expanding our understanding and our ability to incorporate the partnership principles into our lifestyle.
As we travel the path of partnership, these pillars are the cornerstones of our lifestyle and expand in an endless and synergistic flow that leads to deeper trust, a stronger bond and greater resiliency to handle the challenges life brings to all of us.
Everything starts with our mindset and our thinking about what a partnership lifestyle really is.
Our mindset is centered around TRUST, consent and deep listening. Our thinking is never about ‘fixing’ our dog or shaping our dog’s behavior for compliance or to fit into a mold that ‘all dogs are supposed to fit into’ …
We are continually asking the question:
“How can I be a better partner, role model, loving leader and clear communicator, so that my dog and I can live cooperatively, and in harmony?”
Some of the partnership skills are about understanding the ‘mechanics’ of interspecies communication, like how to use your body to invite your dog, and how to effectively use the leash as a tool of connection, and how to interrupt unwanted behavior, and what foods are best suited for your dog’s personality profile.
It’s about how we choose to think, and how we choose to feel.
It’s about invisible connections of the heart.
It’s about intentions and mindfulness…
It’s about love and respect and agency.
It’s how we live … in brilliant partnership with our dogs!

We’ll be covering topics like:
This is NOT your ordinary online training class … It’s a Real Coaching Program!

This is really special! You have full access to our best masterclass workshops that will guide you deeper into our partnership principles and skills and problem solving strategies! There are over 45 masterclasses in the BPA library for you to check out as you need.
These lessons and discussions go deep … and pull in not only my own 35 years of experience, but tap into our coaches and members experiences and transformations. Very powerful stuff!
Every quarter, we’ll gather for a LIVE Online virtual coaching clinic. You won’t believe the results you will achieve from this level of coaching, planning, staying on track toward your dreams!
Partnership skills, mindset and confidence expansion … planning for success, coaching, and review of your submitted videos will ensure that you and your dog are on the fast track to success.
Winners Circle here you come!! And, to be sure: winners circle is defined as YOUR DREAM … whether it’s living life to its fullest, dog sports training or competing … or reading to kids at the library. If you can dream it, it is possible … and we will support you every step of the way.
Stella talks about her reactive poodle...
“Bela was not enjoying her walks and neither were we…I was so frustrated and sad. This partnership lifestyle is so much easier! It is the best decision I have made in years.”
~Ulla K and Bela Lisbon, Portugal
“My rescue dog Charlie was totally overwhelmed at everything in his new environment. I was exhausted, humiliated and frustrated. After BPA, I’m so happy and amazed at how wonderful life is with my dogs!”
~Sue Mimm, with Charlie and Leila Tyrol, Austria
“There was a time when walks were difficult, unhappy and uncomfortable … but today, our walk was perfect. I am here, standing on the building blocks of the Brilliant Partners Academy … … all the insights and wisdom of classes, live coaching, sharing with and learning from fellow BeePees.”
~Marianne with Clover and Bowie Huntington, NY

"After being kicked out of obedience class, I found Kathy Kawalec. Instead of focusing on obedience and training, we breathed a sigh of relief and began focusing on appreciating each other and observing and listening to each other. Life since is a daily delight with my girl!”
~Jane and Skye
