That they’re evolutionarily hard-wired to focus on one goal: The success and survival of the pack.
Yet we expect our dogs to fit into our world and understand our language. To fit into our labels of “good” and “bad” and redefine their existence to fit our standards.
We expect them to tend to our emotions and needs. To be a crutch for us when we’re sad and lonely. An accessory on which to project our joy and excitement.
Embody the composed, empowered, and neutral energy of the Alpha Leader
Take responsibility for their own emotions and trauma–and how they project it into the world and onto them
Are committed to the well-being of their pack
And it’s her life’s work to equip dog people like you with the tools and support to cultivate this presence for their benefit–and their dog’s.
Sasha is committed to turning the dog industry on its head and enriching the lives of both dogs and humans with compassionate, conscious, and species appropriate education that honors the primal, instinctual nature of our canine companions.
Her dedication to this cause started early in life. Witnessing the neglect and misunderstanding dogs often endure was heart-wrenching for Sasha. Despite being surrounded by well-intentioned individuals, the lack of awareness of a dog’s true needs became impossible to ignore.
The path Sasha guides her clients down transcends conventional dog training. For 25 years, she’s led humans to shift their behavior, alter their essence, and channel the Alpha Leader energy to fundamentally reshape their connections with their canine companions.
Sasha has been featured in Reader’s Digest, USA Today, and as an expert on top podcasts and television shows. She lives on a spacious farm in Northwest Illinois with her six dogs and six horses.
To walk through the world with a heightened awareness. To be rooted in a foundation of calmness and centeredness.
Becoming this leader requires pivotal shifts in the:
“From the moment Sasha entered our home, we knew we were in great hands. Our dog, Murphy, instantly had a shift in his demeanor in her presence. He respected and listened to her from the start. Not only was Sasha able to educate Murph to be the well behaved, loving pup he is today, she taught us how to command that same presence and gave us the tools to further his education. We always get compliments with how well behaved he is - and we owe that to Sasha instilling great fundamentals in all of us.”
“I can’t even begin to articulate the deep relief that filled my soul the day that I found Sasha Armstrong. Sasha’s method epitomizes, “work smarter. Not harder.” Hire Sasha. Do the work. Commit to the process, and prepare to be overwhelmed by how brilliantly effective Sasha’s methodology is. It all started with that first conversation— make the call!”
"I reached out to Sasha thinking that I was going to have to sell my condo (that I had just moved into) because one of my dogs was having major separation anxiety. Now I am simply a source of calm confidence, and my dogs can just be relaxed, playful dogs. Everything has changed so dramatically by ME just making some modifications to my behavior. I quickly realized that by making simple changes to my behavior, I could stay in my condo with happy, healthy, peaceful dogs."
We’re all capable of embodying the energy our dogs require to flourish–and it starts by challenging the conventional norms of the dog industry. In Peaceful Dog Mastery, Sasha provides people with the tools needed to cultivate the Alpha Leader presence and foster an integrative, respectful relationship where both the dog and the human learn, improve, and grow.
