Hi, I'm Corinne. I help people build thriving relationships with their dogs.
Based in the greater Sacramento area, I bring 25 years of experience in the canine industry to my work as a force-free trainer and enrichment expert. My practice is deeply rooted in modern animal welfare, and I coach my clients in both English and German.
My deep passion for dog welfare led me to create dog-ibox.com, a global online platform that provides continuing education for dog trainers worldwide, as well as DOGLi, a dedicated canine enrichment app. Because I spend so much of my time working alongside top experts in the field, I bring the very best, most up-to-date training tools directly to you.
What that means for you: Training should feel good for both ends of the leash. I will never ask you to override your dog's comfort for faster results—my goal is to set both you and your dog up for success. We will work at a pace that builds real trust, giving you the hands-on skills and lifestyle tools you need to enjoy a relaxed life together.
Will this add a lot to your daily to-do list? While building new habits does take a little time, our main goal is to show you how to maximize and enrich the moments you are already sharing with your dog each day.
My Ethical Foundation.
My work is guided by Prof. David Mellor's "Five Domains Model," recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Welfare (WOAH) as the international gold standard. This modern framework ensures we look at your dog's entire world—giving equal weight to physical health, environment, and emotional well-being. By optimizing every aspect of their life to meet their individual needs, we create the perfect foundation for a balanced, truly fulfilled dog.
Nutrition
Healthy food, water, and active foraging routines that meet your dog's nutritional needs.
Environment
A physical space that allows rest, retreat, and exploration.
Health
Comfort, mobility, and cooperative care practices that support overall physical well-being.
Behavior
Opportunities to express natural, species-appropriate behaviors.
Mental State
The positive mental state that naturally emerges when the first four domains are fulfilled.
Always Learning,
Always Growing.
Canine behavior and training standards are constantly progressing, which is why continuing education is a core part of my work. I regularly upgrade my skills and keep my certifications current so I can bring the highest quality of coaching to our sessions.
