Continuing education and expanding her knowledge is a priority for Dawn.  This certification equips her  with a deeper knowledge base to help you and your dog live their best life.

The Family Dog Mediation Certification was created by Kim Brophey CDBC, BA, she is an applied ethologist, certified dog behavior consultant, creator of the Dog Key™ software, author of "Meet your Dog" and developer of the L.E.G.S.® dog behavior model which the Family Dog Mediation Certification program is based upon. This program teaches you to look at each individual dog and assess their needs based on their individual L.E.G.S.®. On a larger scale it is a movement to change how we look at dog behavior and welfare. Each dog has their own L.E.G.S.® and each dog should be assessed on these L.E.G.S.® by a Family Dog Mediator who will then help their owners better understand their behavior and needs. 

These L.E.G.S.® are broken up as follows.

L: Learning, what have the dogs learned so far in their life and how have they learned those lessons. 

E: Environment, the external world around the dog; its location and the other animals (including humans) around it. 

G: Genetics, while DNA is not always predictive it gives us a frame work to explain certain behaviors in different groups of dogs. 

S: The dog on the inside at this exact moment; age, health, reproductive status as well as current living situation.
