Reward your dog's good choices that they make throughout the day. The more you reward a behaviour, the more your dog will offer that behaviour.
With 35 years of dog training behind me, and growing up in a family who are passionate about working dogs, I look at any potential trainer with a very critical eye. I was fortunate enough to observe Chantal with her own dogs and it was no-brainer that she was the right person for my rescue Border Collie, Nina. Chantal has striven to gain as much knowledge as possible but she has what so many others do not; the ability to "see" the dogs at their essence. This is skill that cannot be taught but is rather intrinsic to the person. This insight is what made it so easy to work with, and respect, Chantal! Chantal, thank you for seeing Nina for the incredible little soul that she is, helping us explore her fears and giving me the tools to make her as happy as she can possibly be.
