Force-free dog training for dogs struggling with fear and anxiety.

Does your dog experience a lot of big emotions about the world? If you answered yes, go ahead and book your initial consultation - okay, you can finish reading first and then go book.

We know exactly what it can be like to navigate life with a dog who exhibits fear and anxiety in the home, out of the home, in the car, towards cars, and so much more. We’ve been there.

It sucks. It’s overwhelming. And incredibly frustrating. And the good news is that we can help you!

As your dog’s trainers…

We will teach you how to communicate with your dog and better understand their fear and anxiety.

We’ll hold your hand and guide you through the training process to help your dog work through their fears.

We will help you build your skills and confidence in working with your dog while teaching you how to not need us forever.

Thank you for working so hard to promote animal welfare and ethical training

“They are so inclusive, and compassionate with people and animals. Anyone dealing with a difficult dog knows what it's like to feel judged, embarrassed, or guilty; they help you realize all these are normal feelings and will help you find ways to work with your dog that minimizes those feelings because you will feel proud and know you're doing your best (and so is your dog!)”

It's basically magic

"Auggie was so fearful and nervous of absolutely everything. Logan met us wherever Auggie was at. She changed things when he wasn't excited about what we were doing, and massively celebrated the wins with us. Auggie is a more confident dog! He has learned that it's okay to say no when something is too scary, and I am learning to listen. And as a result? He tries more things every day. It's basically magic."

-Cait & Auggie

He is a different dog, happy and confident

“Emily’s compassion for reactivity and her prioritizing dogs’ safety and wellbeing is exceptional. I’ve learned so much about how to better care for Theo is species-appropriate ways, learning how I can best generate safe and accessible ways for him be a dog. He is a much more satisfied and relaxed dog, which has in turn greatly reduced his fear-based reactivity.”

–Marguerite & Theo
