Helping Dogs & Their Humans Find Calm in the Chaos

Here are some common problems you may be running into:

  1. You recognize there is a behavior issue, but don’t know how to fix it.

  2. There is a TON of information out there, and you aren’t sure what is evidence-based and will achieve the results you need.

  3. You aren’t sure, don’t feel safe, or lack confidence walking your dog, inviting guests over to the house, or living your normal life without having to stress about your dog.

  4. You just want to know how to help your dog feel better and less anxious about their triggers.
