Tried and tested frameworks that help build understanding and solutions

After 20 years working with dogs and supporting owners, I know how to get right to the bullseye and have the tools to ensure we take the most effective path to a solution.

Key Frameworks of joint effort

Different Earthquakes, same Epicentre

It’s from understanding that big feelings can appear in multiple situations that creates effective solutions

An infographic about earthquakes showing different situations with a dog, including at home, in the car, at the vets, on walks, around people, and left alone. The infographic emphasizes that earthquakes are unpredictable, lack control, and are a restricted choice, with a note that connection is key to support.

The recovery loop

Reactivity is a challenge many of us have to work with, but so often the advice given is in the wrong order!
