Howler is rooted in a simple idea: relationships begin with listening. 

Before we ask an animal to respond, we observe, teach, seek to understand, expect trust, and create the conditions in which trust can grow. 

Howler brings horses, wolves, and humans into a shared learning environment where observation, communication, choice, and relationship matter more than performance.

• Observe before acting

• Listen to what the animal is communicating

• Create safety before asking for performance

• Let relationships develop rather than manufacture them

• Recognize the individual animal as a participant

• Understand that humans and animals influence one another

• Use the relationship itself as part of the learning environment

I'm Gaby Dufresne-Cyr, a behaviour specialist, educator, and animal assisted facilitator practitioner in Hudson, Quebec. I believe healing begins with connection, the kind of deep, non-verbal understanding that only animals can offer. 

When you open yourself to the possibility that an animal can foster growth, resilience, and unconditional love, we become better versions of ourselves.

For over forty years, I have worked alongside domestic and exotic animals, exploring how cross-species relationships shape learning, trust, and emotional growth. 

I work alongside dogs, horses, and wolves to support people on their path to personal growth and well-being.
