About Way of Life® Dog Training:

At Way of Life® Dog Training, we offer a radical and intuitive approach to human-dog relationships. Founded by Souha Ezzedeen, a behavioral scientist with a PhD in management and organizational behavior, our method emphasizes understanding the root causes of canine behavior rather than just addressing the symptoms.

Nearly twenty years ago, Souha adopted a dog named Maya, whose challenging behavior led her on a transformative journey. Through years of trial and error, she discovered the importance of considering the entire way of life in addressing behavioral issues. This experience inspired the creation of the Way of Life® Method, which integrates insights from human organizational behavior to enhance canine training and relationships.

With extensive experience as a dog owner, shelter volunteer, sport competitor, and certified Family Dog Mediator, Souha brings a unique blend of education, expertise, and hands-on practice to her coaching. Since 2019, Way of Life® Dog Training has been helping clients understand and improve their dogs' behavior by focusing on the underlying causes and fostering healthier human-dog relationships.
