About The Founders
Roman Gottfried is a certified dog trainer and holistic behavior consultant whose expertise anchors our philosophy. Roman's approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit of dogs, fostering a secure, understanding relationship between animals and their human companions. His work is guided by the latest scientific research and a steadfast commitment to a Do-No-Harm philosophy, ensuring that our practices are not only effective but also morally sound.
Our Vision
Holistic Underdogs envisions a world where dogs are recognized not merely as pets but as sentient beings with rights, emotions, and complex needs. Our goal is to educate caregivers on providing holistic, trauma-informed care, recognizing dogs as full members of the family. We want to improve the laws that advocate for a world where every dog enjoys the highest standards of welfare, free from harm and enriched by a deep, empathetic bond with humans.
Our Mission
Our mission is twofold: to elevate the standard of dog care through education and advocacy and to challenge and ban unethical training methods and tools. We draw upon the latest advancements in animal psychology, bio-ethology, and quantum science to inform our practices, ensuring that our approach is both innovative and evidence-based.
