This has been 2 years in the making ✨

Introducing Camp Cooperative Care - a brand new 10 week live program to help touch-sensitive dogs (and the people who love them) build new channels of communication and increase comfort with seven home grooming tasks.

If bath time, nails, brushing, and trimming the fluff is a battle in your house, Cooperative Care is your clear and compassionate path forward.

🏕️ When you join Camp Cooperative Care, you’ll learn my simple 4-Step Method to training Canine Cooperative Care.

And just like a summer camp, where you get to dabble in a variety of activities, you’ll cycle through the setup and progress for SEVEN home grooming tasks:
Body Handling, Brushing, Bath Time, Hair Trimming, Nail Trimming, Nail Grinding, and Nail Filing.

And unlike other courses, as a Camper this summer, you’ll get to submit a video every week for personalized feedback on your cooperative care journey.

And I’m not done - there’s an incredible bonus waiting for you.

The moment you sign up, I’ll send you a FREE copy of my Goal Setting Planner in an instant digital delivery. That’s a 25-page guide to breaking down any goals you have with your dog into realistic and productive steps.

Swipe through to learn more. I hope to see you there! ⬇️ Comment ‘GROOM’ and I’ll DM you the link to join!

📍Philadelphia, PA: Papillon Mix seeking quieter life
Meet 14 lb Papillion Mix Nomi! Unfortunately, the city environment is just too much for her. She is easily triggered by chaos and noise and apartment living makes it impossible for her to regulate and stay regulated.
She has a history of inhibited bites, particularly in social situations that cause her anxiety, but this behavior can be managed and we’ve spent the majority of our daily trainings working on this exact issue. She is muzzle trained and has shown improvement through basic obedience training and responds well to known cues, including sit, down, play dead, go to bed, back it up, and heel.
Nomi would do well in a quieter environment (suburb or rural area) and in a home with no children or other animals. She is on appropriate medication to address anxiety and chronic inflammation. Time, space, and patience are all she needs at the beginning to feel safe and I’m confident she will grow to love you in the way she’s loved me. She loves to cuddle and just wants to sit by your side on the couch while you watch TV or read.
If you have any questions about Nomi, please send me a DM and I will do my best to answer or connect you with the person who can. Nomi will come with starter gear (crate, toys, harness, leash) and a 100% free 4-week daily virtual training package with me.
We believe that with the right family, Nomi can thrive and offer immeasurable joy and companionship.
Please SHARE for Nomi! 🙏

🐾What does your new rescue need most? Time.🕒 Remember the "3-3-3" rule as a guiding principle: it generally takes around 3 days for them to start feeling comfortable, 3 weeks to settle into their new routine, and about 3 months for their true personality to shine through 🏠. Patience is key as they adjust to their fresh surroundings, build trust, and learn to love their new life. 🐶❤️
