It's time to take back the walk for the responsible dog owners among us. Take my course that gives you a detailed safety plan - be prepared not scared!

I have an extensive product recommendation for all things dogs up in The Canine Trauma Clinic. I am charging a small fee because the items have all been tested by me or my clients over the years - they are high quality and always are pain free items. I don't want to create an online store front and get a small percentage of the items folks buy that I recommend - because I do not want to be beholden to a product and I want to retain the right to remove a recommendation if the product declines in quality, etc.
I also included a Do Not Buy list and I give news articles/studies that back up my Do Not Buy Recommendations.
This resource can save you soooo much time and money and frustration that happens when you buy something that looks good in marketing but isn't actually good or useful for your dog. Some things are indeed dangerous and unhealthy for our dogs that are still legal to sell and market.
Join my online Canine Trauma Clinic for free and check out ALL of our incredible resources that are available for FREE as well as a few paid resource collections and spaces.

COURSE UPDATE on the Healing Car Phobia Course!

I have re-recorded the entire ten-step car phobia course and that is now available inside of The Canine Trauma Clinic on Heartbeat.

I wanted to update the slides and add in information that has been requested when I give the course live and from the tremendous feedback I have gotten from the many folks who have taken this important course.

My dogs were the two most car phobic dogs I've ever worked with - we didn't go anywhere in a car with them for 2 plus years! I finally made up my mind that I really wanted them to explore the world outside of our neighborhood and the course was created with the input from my now happy traveling dogs Finn and Cooper. We go places together every single week!

The course material WORKS when so few other ideas have helped dog owners with this frustrating problem because I treat the problem 100% from a trauma-informed, healing protocol. Imagine being placed or led by a leash into something that terrifies you that you cannot escape from! I take the terror out of being in a car for dogs - and teach you how to heal your dog's fears.
