Dogs have changed my life! My vision is creating a training environment (refuge) where dogs and people can learn without fear or judgment. This isn’t magic. It is about living and learning with dogs. Having an open-mind and willingness to explore how another species communicates and learns matters! Engaging with a different species by learning effective ways to communicate and shape behaviors is fun!   


As the co-founder of New England Pet Partners, Inc., a non-profit organization sharing our pets to enhance well-being and education with pet assisted therapy, I integrate similar training for therapy dogs into private coaching sessions. Happy, healthy and confident dogs can thrive in the community with basic manners and socialization. Teaming up and sharing our dogs can make a difference.


Socialization and manners (SAM) gradually, gently and calmly introduces dogs to a variety of sights, sounds and smells. The training sanctuary has medical equipment, stability balls and non-competitive agility as a choice of reward if and when a dog is ready (the key). Awareness and observation lets us know when we and our dogs are ready to either move forward or slow down a bit. Breathing is mandatory.


If you feed your dog 2X a day, you have 14 training opportunities every week!

Doggy Diner by Maureen Ross


Our intention is:



Whether your goal is to become a registered therapy team or enjoy a happy, healthy and confident relationship with your dog, consider ACT training or similar. The gentle, effective skills, techniques and insights, can easily be integrated into daily living, learning and loving dogs. It’s all about the relationship you want to create.


Let go for few moments, breathing in a deep nose-to-navel breath - ah-ha. Let’s un-complicate training, reduce sensory overload, and discover how dogs can change your life by waking up our senses.













Taking a deep breath - Exhale - Enjoy the Journey
