BIO:
Souha Ezzedeen, PhD, is a university professor, dog trainer and coach, founder of Way of Life™ Dog Training in Ontario, Canada, and author of the book The Way of Life Method: How to Heal Your Relationship with Your Dog and Raise a Sound, Strong, and Spirited Companion (At Any Age). Souha draws on nearly two decades of diverse experiences with dogs in her training business. As an academic for more than 25 years with expertise in management and organizational behavior, Souha has a curious mind, loves research, and is well-versed in the behavioral theories that undergird mainstream dog training.
When she faced complex challenges with her dog, Maya, Souha dove deep into a theoretical and practical study of all things canine. That study soon became a passion, which revealed itself to be a calling to help dog owners and their companions develop stronger relationships. Today, her goal is to share all she’s learned about the human-canine bond with people struggling to achieve a more harmonious life with their dogs.
In addition to training companion dogs of all breeds and ages, Souha has experience walking and fostering rescue and shelter dogs, boarding challenging dogs, and continuing to work through new challenges with more dogs
of her own. Souha has been active in dog sport from the beginning, including sheep herding, obedience, and scent work, learning to nurture both stability and drive in her dogs.
