The Canine Wellness Modules
Module 1. Canine Wellness (14 lessons)
The running theme is educating YOU not only about how we need to consider and understand a dog as a domestic animal, but first and foremost understanding our dogs as a genetically ancient canine living in a modern day world.
From this perspective, this can create a constant state or prolonged state of sympathetic activation within a dog’s ecosystem. I guide YOU through how to consider a dog as an ecosystem, what this means and the energy gateways of the canine wellness wheel (there is a human one too!).
The wellness wheel “feeds” a dog’s ancient immune, digestive, nervous and energy ecosystem and can influence anything from behaviour to illness.
So, the first module begins with the canine wellness wheel and what this means. It takes you through the different energy gateways that can either feed a dog’s ecosystem for resilience or one of distress and disturbance.
It includes subjects such as safety, diet and digestion, social interactions, rest, emotional balance and so much more!
Module 2. Functional Character and Group Dynamics (17 lessons)
This module explores ALL (well, not quite all) you need to know about how we can view a dog’s functional character as a social group animal; how these different characters complement or oppose others when we look at group composition, interaction and multi-dog households.
There are eight functional characters I discuss, that provide insight in to how these functional characters work, operate, what to expect, how to co-exist and their profiles. Within this section I also teach you about population dynamics and how we can understand group composition from the perspective of a dog; from a pure ecological and population dynamics perspective how we can learn when two or more dogs will complement, when they will oppose and the spatial and temporal changes in a group composition that we must consider.
Module 3. Life Stages and Being a Social Canine (12 lessons)
This module is all about life stages and being a social canine. This explores my teachings of what to include, do and allow when we have a puppy or rescue dog.
It understands the dog from their perspective – their language, behaviour, communication, interaction and how we can co-exist with dogs fairly, respectfully and cooperatively.
It explores the natural life stages dogs “graduate” through, how to support them with socialising and learning, how and why trauma can affect a dog and how this can impact their functioning and acceptance of their environment, play and so much more!
Module 4. Kachina Wellness (11 lessons)
Finally, the last module is all about Kachina Wellness – it is a series of lessons that explore the more holistic therapies that I love to use to improve canine wellness.
This includes shamanic drumming, plant medicine, other forms of energy medicine, body work, breath work and looking within ourselves to improve our dog’s wellness!
A huge part of my work is to empower YOU, too, to live from your true self and in a place of expansion and limitless beliefs; the place where we live from in our body, mind and spirit can and does really affect our dog too!
Bonus! (9 sections)
rocking my world!
The online course is completely rocking my world. Fills in gap of knowledge for me and completes links that I had seen probable but are deemed possible.
For me it is canine holistic therapy, neurological development, and working with identity of dogs and self. Working with primal knowledge and natural understandings that have nearly been lost.
I’m a canine professional of 15 years and I have learned so much from this one investment into continuing my professional development. If you’re on the edge of purchasing, don’t put it off! Just go for it!
My house has never been so contented.
Canine Functional Characters
Functional character can determine where conflict may arise between two or more dogs, the confidence of a dog, the practices we may expect a dog to enjoy or not enjoy and where a dog may appear to be presenting behavioural challenges.
The course is broken down in to easy to follow lessons that give you all you need to explore your dog’s functional character and what this may mean for your co-existence with your canine friend.
I can’t wait for you to get started and to be amazed at how fitting functional character is to your dog.
Please note, this course has been directly taken from my more comprehensive course, “Complete Canine Wellness.” This is why you will hear me refer to subjects that are not part of the functional character stand alone course but, rather, intended for the full complete canine wellness course.
Learn what functional character is, the nine different functional characters, how to identify them and how they play a huge part of your dog’s life, interaction and needs.

lots of aha moments
You are such a brilliant speaker, and you teach it in such a wonderful and enthusiastic manner.

The course should be taught in vet school.

I look at my own dogs in a different light, appreciate them even more. This course is so thought provoking and makes you take a step back and look at you, how you interact with your dog.
If you are thinking about commencing this course, just do it. I am so glad I did.
the best investment I’ve made!
Best investment I’ve made in my canine career! Just to add I’ve never met Dr. Isla Fishburn, but after going through the course, you get a feel for her honesty, humour (team huffle puff) and unreserved, open style of teaching.
Getting to the root of genetically ancient canines in our modern canine crisis (I work In rescues) I’ve devoured most commercial courses/ as well as specialist trauma courses, and Ive learned more in this canine wellness course then all of them put together.
