For Caregivers of Sensitive, Anxious, and Traumatized Dogs...
Awaken Your Dog's Courageous Heart with Gentle Guidance and Calm Understanding
A 7-Day Online Workshop to Help You Understand Your Dog's Strong Emotional Reactions so You Can Give Meaningful Guidance.
If your dog's emotional responses to ordinary events leave you feeling
💔confused,
💔frustrated,
💔embarrassed,
💔guilty,
💔hopeless,
💔anxious,
💔and desperate for relief.
...then it's time to let go of complicated and ineffective behavior modification, and reach out to the root cause of your dog's distress.
Behavior isn't the cause; it's the effect!
RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOWDo you know why behavior modification won't heal your dog's anxiety?
Today, many pet dogs are struggling with chronic anxiety, stress, and reactivity.
Behavior modification can't reach these distressed dogs because behavior isn't the problem. Behavior is the result of a deeper biological dysfunction.
Trauma and anxiety aren't learning problems that can be fixed with training; they're emotional wounds held within your dog's physiology.
Anxious dogs need a different system, one designed to heal the root cause of their emotional dysregulation.
Change emotions and behaviors change automatically.
Why Is This Workshop DIFFERENT?
Training classes for reactivity increase pressure by intentionally exposing traumatized dogs to triggers. Although this outdated method promises quick results, the real-life, long-term outcome for dogs is reduced well-being.
In this workshop, you'll learn up-to-date, trauma-informed approaches to dysregulation. Outdated cookie-cutter methods all too often retraumatize anxious dogs instead of helping them.
💝It’s designed for caregivers by someone who’s walked in your shoes and understands your need to feel seen, heard, and safe.
💝It’s compassionate: Love alone isn't enough to heal trauma. Compassion is love plus right action that brings relief from stress.
💝It’s science-backed: You'll learn practices based on biology, psychology, and neuroscience. Proven. Safe. Trusted.
💝It’s common sense: No overcomplicated mechanics. Just simple practices that feel easy and natural. You and your dog will feel safe and comfortable.
💝It's not for everyone. If you're someone with an open mind who's eager to learn new things, this workshop is for you! If you're ready to set aside ego and advocate for your dog's welfare, you are perfect for this workshop!
I created this Workshop for you because...
I see big-hearted caregivers like you who are struggling to help their anxious dogs, but using outdated misinformation and ineffective strategies that make dogs worse!
Caregivers aren't at fault. The old methods of dog training solve the wrong problem when it comes to reactive dogs!
These outdated methods view big emotion as just another behavior problem and promise a "quick fix."
Yet, dogs are sentient beings with feelings and needs that are fundamental to their well-being. My purpose is to empower you with a clear understanding of a trauma-informed lifestyle that helps dogs feel safe, calm, and self-regulated.
Warmly,
Marilyn

"I feel so much support learning and working with Marilyn. What my dog and I were experiencing was finally seen and heard, and explained with kindness and compassion.
