Meet Leah Lykos

Leah is a behavior consultant, helping people with their fearful, reactive, and aggressive dogs. Her specialization is rehabilitating dogs who have a bite or fight history.

She takes the methods from Somatic Therapy derived from Dr. Peter Levine, and elements of the Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges to create somatic exercises for dogs that resolve their past traumas.

Leah enjoys educating people on the importance of regulating not only their dog's nervous system, but also looking at how their own system may be out of balance, as this affects their dog.

It's a bit like family therapy. Your dog may be the "identified patient" but we have to look at the household as a whole system with interacting parts.
