Dogs Need to Be Heard Not "Fixed"
Has anyone told you that your dog needs more "training to fix" anxiety?
Anxious dogs don't need "fixing"; they need to be heard, acknowledged, and accepted so they can feel emotionally, physically, and psychologically safe.
How your dog acts on the outside is a reflection of what he feels on the inside. When his feelings change, his actions will change, too.
In Awaken Your Dog's Courageous Heart, you'll experience 7 days of immersion in The Four Pillars of Resilience, the framework for building your dog's felt sense of safety.
I want my dog to feel safe!
Awaken Your Dog's Courageous Heart
7-Day Self-Paced Workshop for Caregivers of Sensitive Dogs
Discover how integrating The Four Pillars of Resilience into your life will transform your bond with your dog. Love and good intentions aren't enough to support fearful dogs. Compassion governed by Right Action can achieve a lasting transformation.
The Four Pillars of Resilience
Relaxation
Dogs mirror your energy, calm their emotions, and deepen their bond with you.
Movement
Movement empowers dogs to feel safe so they can freely and confidently make choices.
Patterns
Patterns and reorienting activities rewire a dog's nervous system with healthy habits.
Attunement
Fluency in dog language lets you speak to your dog and connect with healing energy.
The Framework for Building Resilience and Emotional Intelligence
The Four Pillars of Resilience are Relaxation, Movement, Patterns, and Attunement. They operate synergistically to harmonize mind and body and regulate the nervous system.
- A regulated nervous system can expand the dog's capacity for relaxation, grounding, and presence.
- Free movement assists sensory processing.
- Predictable patterns create a felt sense of safety.
- Attunement is the heart-centered integration of emotionally intelligent practices.
The Path from Reactive to Self-Regulated
The first healing experience for a sensitive dog is a felt sense of safety. We achieve this by managing the environment and empowering the dog with choices.
The path to Self-Regulation, Resilience, and Emotional Intelligence passes through Safety, Choice, and Agency.
Leona N. & Leeloo
I learned a whole new way of thinking about Leeloo’s behaviors, and reactions, and how to best support her. It's great to have a clearly defined path and all of the support that you offer.
Lori P. & Bo
Walks were not fun with Bo. Whining, pulling, & barking. This training helped me connect with my dog in a way I had never done before.
Wendy C. & Amber
Unlike many other trainers who work to "fix the dog" Marilyn's approach is to help the person see the dog in a more empathetic way.
