Training with Mia and Leo was all about building trust and confidence. Mia was nervous, and Leo was a little concerned with other dogs on walks. With some gentle training, desensitization techniques as well as lick mats and lots of treats, these two made some lovely progress.

If your dog’s stress is contagious, it may be time to call in backup. I can help.
