Family Dog Mediation Outreach & Support

It's not really about training... It's about teaching skills (to pets and people) to help everyone live a harmonious, happy life together. It's about understanding why behavior is occurring, so we can address the root cause. It's about creating a lifestyle that strives to meet everyone's needs. It's about building better relationships.

Our Group

Founders, Kelsey Weber, Marlene O'Neil Laberge, Andrew Marrangoni, and Kim Brophey created a Facebook group to create a curiosity-centered community committed to learning and growing together on our journey as animal caretakers.

In this group we host monthly Curious Connected Conversations where we meet (via Zoom) to discuss rotating monthly topics. The intro to these sessions, where the founders share a few thoughts on the topic, are recorded and posted to the group. The remainder of the discussion is open for the community to contribute and share their thoughts and experiences.

Additionally, we post monthly discussion questions and have a series of "Guides" available to assist members with this new way of viewing what "training" can actually look like.

We understand that Facebook is not everyone's preferred platform. If you would like to access some of the group's resources without joining a Facebook community, use the links below to view the associated Google Drive folders.
