A Different Way to Train with a Holistic Dog Trainer

Why Every Two Dogs Diverged Program Is Built Around Development, Not the Calendar

BOOK A CALL

There is no shortage of dog trainers offering one-hour private lessons, board-and-train programs, or intensive boot camps.

​

None of those approaches are inherently wrong. They’re simply not how I train.

​

At Two Dogs Diverged, I have built every program around one belief:

​

Lasting progress comes from balancing instruction, implementation, recovery, and progression—for both the dog and the human.

​

As a holistic dog trainer, I consider the entire picture: the dog, the person, the relationship between them, their environment, their history, their needs, and the life they are building together. I work across training methodologies because no single method, tool, or philosophy is appropriate for every dog, handler, behavior, or situation.

​

That approach guides every program I offer, whether I’m working with an eight-week-old puppy, an adolescent dog, an adult companion, a rescue in transition, a behavior-modification case, or a future service dog.

The most ethical approach considers both ends of the leash—and everything in between.

Training the Team, Not Just the Dog with a Holistic Dog Trainer

Dog training isn't simply about teaching a dog new behaviors.

It's about teaching two different species to communicate with one another.

​

I've spent more than a decade learning how to read behavior, recognize subtle changes, improve my timing, adjust my mechanics, and make training decisions in real time.

Those skills weren't developed overnight.

​

I don't expect my clients to learn them overnight either.

That's why our programs are designed differently.

While your dog is learning, you're learning too.

​

You're learning how your dog communicates.

You're learning how your timing influences behavior.

You're learning when to reinforce, when to wait, and when to simply observe.

​

Those are skills that require experience—not just instruction.

MEET THE OWNER

Piper Stultz kneeling beside her Rottweiler service dog, Chimera, outdoors.

Owner and trainer behind Two Dogs Diverged LLC, Piper Stultz has worked professionally with dogs since 2014, building an approach shaped by more than a decade of experience as a trainer, educator, service dog handler, and lifelong dog owner. Her work extends beyond teaching dogs individual behaviors; it focuses on understanding why behavior happens, how dogs learn, and how the people living with them can develop the skills to communicate effectively long after professional training ends.
 

Piper's approach is intentionally different from many traditional training models. She does not believe meaningful training happens by removing a dog from their family, producing a list of behaviors, and sending them home, nor does she believe most training concerns can be meaningfully addressed in a single isolated lesson. Instead, her programs involve the owner throughout the process and combine professional instruction with dedicated implementation time. This allows both the dog and the person to learn, practice, make adjustments, and build skills that function within their actual daily lives.
 

Her professional work spans puppy and adolescent development, adult companion training, rescue and transition support, behavior modification, reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, grooming and veterinary handling, scent training, and specialized service dog work including task development and public access. Rather than approaching these areas through predetermined checklists or rigid expectations, Piper evaluates the individual dog, their environment, learning history, developmental stage, and the goals of the people working with them.
 

As a longtime service dog handler, Piper also brings lived experience to an area of dog training that is often discussed almost entirely from the trainer's perspective. That experience ultimately led to the creation of Paradox Dogs, an education and community initiative focused on giving service dog handlers the knowledge to better understand training, behavior, disability mitigation, welfare, public access, and the long-term realities of working with a service dog.
 

A U.S. Navy veteran and founder of Two Dogs Diverged LLC, Piper has built the company around a simple principle: professional support should leave people more capable, not more dependent on the professional providing it. Whether working with an eight-week-old puppy, an adult dog with an established behavioral concern, or a service dog team developing highly specialized skills, the goal is not to create someone else's version of the perfect dog. It is to help people understand the dog in front of them and build the skills, communication, and relationship necessary for the life they intend to share.
