Gentle Guidance

Santa Clarita Valley's #1 recommended dog training service: Trainers Nicole Wilde, Lynne Gifford and Rayna Barker use positive, reward-based methods. No choke chains, shock collars or harsh physical corrections are used. Gentle Guidance training achieves excellent results, as it is based on the psychology of how dogs think and learn. The approach is effective in treating any issue from puppy problems to aggression, and is customized for each individual dog. Group classes and private one-on-one sessions in your home are available.

Phantom Publishing is a resource for dog professionals, owners, and canine enthusiasts. Here you will find unique books and DVDs that promote gentle, positive training methods and offer information and education that cannot be found elsewhere. There are book excerpts and reviews, as well as articles about training and behavior topics.

Energy healing has been around since ancient times. Some forms, like acupuncture and acupressure, work by affecting the flow of energy along the body’s merdians (energy pathways). Other types of healing, such as Reiki, work by affecting energy in the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds the body, as well as the body itself. The type of healing I practice utilizes the intuitive skills I have possessed since childhood, as well as other methods I have studied over the years, including Reiki. I also use the Bach flower remedies, which are flower essences in liquid form. The Bach flowers are not a drug, but a natural remedy that can address a variety of conditions. I am also happy to help you learn to do hands-on healing with your pet.
