Fear & Anxiety
You see the best version of your best friend.
Is the rest of the world missing out on meeting her?
Are your best friend’s fears are interfering with you both living a normal life ?
Do you wish your dog could:
go for a enjoyable walk in the neighborhood instead of having to try to drag him off your property?
be the welcoming committee for visitors instead of hiding behind the couch?
ignore new objects or something out of place instead of running away or barking?
If you find yourself wishing other people could see how just how amazing your dog is when he feels safe, there is hope. Confidence can be built and comfort can be found. Your dog can learn that the world is a safe place and you are who he should turn to when he finds himself uncertain.
Get on the path to confidence.

“Before training, Hailey used to hide in her crate when friends came over. It was sad that no one else got to see what an awesome dog she is. She’d bolt at sudden movement. Forget about walking in the neighborhood. With a lot of patience, Hailey is coming out of her shell and becoming the dog I know she can be. I don’t know where we’d be without Lorrie.”
