Page Lynn Potter, M.S.
Applied Ethologist, DVM Candidate, & NePoPo® Silver Graduate.
At Southwest Canine Ethology, I specialize in understanding the complex emotions and behaviors of dogs. I don't just train behaviors; I decode intent. My work lives three seconds before an action happens-where the nervous system meets the environment.
I am proud to admit that I have not been bitten in over a decade, because I know what your dog is going to do before even, they do.
My methodology is rooted in biological reality, not "alpha" myths or "fluff" that simply doesn't work.

The Pack
Cloudy
Papa Sto
Z
Butter's
My Pack is essential for providing neutrality, stabilization, help with corrections that I simply cannot replicate or signal. The Pack is also fluent with reading and interpreting body language signals that are so minute that I may miss.
Z is a Catahoula, a high drive dog who does scent work, and this gives me experience working with other high drive dogs.
Butter's is bloodhound known for their intense need to track and hyper focus on scents, never misses a beat. Cloudy the Mastiff, and Papa Sto the Pryador.
Standard Training:
