Marilyn Mele 

I help dog parents gently guide their emotionally sensitive and traumatized dogs from chaotic anxiety to peaceful adaptability without behavior modification or desensitization.

 

I work with...

Caregivers of emotionally sensitive and traumatized dogs who feel overwhelmed by the daily challenges of helping their dog recover from trauma.

What you get...

Trauma-informed, expert guidance that goes to the biological and emotional source of your dog's anxiety.  You'll learn easy, common-sense practices that, although currently used with people, were developed through studying animals.  That's the science behind why your dog responds easily to the practices!

Why me?

In more than 40 years as a dog training pro, I've witnessed a transformation in the way humans understand who their pet dogs really are. Yet, dog anxiety continues to escalate worldwide.  Outdated dog training methodology that focuses only on changing behavior while ignoring its emotional source has made anxiety worse for dogs and their people.

Building on my experience as a teacher, I created The Four Pillars of Resilience, a trauma-informed system for pet dogs that I based on biology, psychology, and neuroscience.  As their dogs start to expand their felt sense of safety, caregivers soon notice less stress and more calm.  All with zero formal training!

Your Investment

Your initial 60-minute personal consult on Zoom is $250.  

The purpose of the consult is to discuss whether and how I can help you and your dog.

If you're a good fit for my programs, I'll recommend the next step.

In any case, you'll leave the consultation with a clear understanding of your dog's needs and practical steps to immediately start relieving his anxiety.
