🙋🏻‍♀️ Helping you & your 🐶🐈🕊️ start living your best life together…today! 🌄 Have more questions? Want to find out how I may be of benefit to you?

Hi, I’m Olivia “Ollie” Marie Sison! 🥰

My journey into animal behavior began with our family dog, Bella—shy and anxious from the start. Helping her build confidence sparked my commitment to science-based, compassionate training for animals often misunderstood in both shelter and home environments. I’ve supported animals through a wide range of behavior challenges, including shy/fearfulness, genera

l anxiety, leash reactivity, aggression, stranger danger, hyperarousal, isolation distress/separation anxiety, and more. My time with the Friends for Life animal shelter, paired with global experiences—from the Philippines to Ecuador—helps me meet each family where they are with practical, personalized training plans. Message me now for your free initial consultation, and let’s help you and your 🐶🐈🕊️ start living your best life together…today! 🌄

HELLO AGAIN, EVERYONE! 😍

Indeed, it’s been a long time since my last proper post. Real talk: to say “it’s hard” to lose your soul dog (RIP Sasha Bella Oct 31, ‘24 🎃🎄💜🕊️)—the reason why I do animal behavior work—is a huge understatement.

These past months, I’ve focused on

1) my own healing and self-care,
2) Bella’s sweet baby kitten Bibi’s healing process,
3) Bibi’s new rescue bro Lenny Bruce (!!), and
4) the most incredible dog and human clients, as always! ✨

Most of y’all know I’ve been pouring more love into Ollie’s ABS this past year in various ways, but if you haven’t been part of my daily life, fret not! I am back 🙋🏻‍♀️ and here to continue sharing my clients’ incredible behavior journeys. My goal is always to inspire critical thinking, new ideas, and hope that there is such a thing as living your best life with your behavior needs animals…because success is at your fingertips with the right professional guidance, game plan, and commitment to learn and grow! 💯

As always, I use this page to share

1) who I am and what I’m all about,
2) educational resources, and
3) celebrations of incredible clients who do the work and see life-changing and long-lasting results! 🥳

Cheers, and stay tuned for more updates! 🧡

Hi, my friends! 👋🏼 WOW, time flies when you’re having fun! As the year comes to a close, I’d like to share a handful of 2023’s Most Meaningful Moments in my work with animals. Here is one fun example, when I served as Momo’s handler at a Friends For Life Animal Shelter event with !

If you’re in the greater Houston area and want to visit this local shelter, I highly recommend it! Fun fact: I started my formal animal behavior education years ago with Melissa Taylor, who leads the Behavior Team at FFL. Being part of the FFL Behavior Team has been a life-changing, fulfilling experience for me…highly recommend inquiring further if it sounds interesting to you! 😉🐶🐈‍⬛🐰🐀🐓

Introducing Paddy and Bumi, my homestay doggos for the week! With two siblings and two VERY different personalities, the inter-household aggression was not surprising. Paddy and Bumi have a HIGHLY managed life.

Stay tuned to see 👀 how we work to stay safe through creativity, with an ever-changing environment, encouraging each dog to be their best self. 💖💖

I used to love playing that “Spot the Difference” game in the newspaper as a child. Do y’all remember those!? 🧩 Let’s try: can you 🧐 the differences in these photos?

Hint: In our initial consult this morning, I wanted to see this “pulls a lot on leash” Murdock in action. After I modeled and shared a few behavior insights, Murdock’s family was able to start implementing a few key skills for more communicative, stress-free, and enjoyable walkies right away! 🐕‍🦺✨

Murdock’s got a lot of cool things in progress: leash reactivity, meeting enrichment & socialization needs, selective aggression towards other dogs, resource guarding management, etc. Luckily, Murdock and his family are eager to better understand Murdock’s needs and take the time to work with this super intelligent, affectionate GSD. 🥰 Stay tuned as we uncover more “Murdock Mysteries”!🕵🏻‍♀️✨🎃👻🍁

Putting this thought-provoking nugget here for some Sunday reflection. 🐾

Over the past two years as the IAABC Foundation Events Director, I’ve been so lucky to work with over 80 educators at the top of their field in animal behavior and veterinary science, organizing and hosting conferences for our international community. ✨

My gratitude and humility only grows the more I learn from the professionals who’ve been involved in this important work for years, sometimes decades. 📚

I feel like I’m seeing my 3rd Aggression in Dogs Conference in a whole new light, now knowing how much goes on behind the scenes to put a conference like this together. Thank you and everyone who made this awesome weekend possible. 🙏🏼

✨Coexisting to cuddle buddies!✨ Introducing one of my long term clients, “Rico Riquísimo!” 🐶 At 10 months old in the Fall of 2020, Rico was rescued from a terrible breeding situation. Severely malnourished and with a busted face and nose from trying to escape the crate he lived in, by a stroke of luck, Rico ended up in the loving home of his forever family. 💔

Rico was shut down for weeks, but when he finally understood he was safe and home, he started to show his general anxiety, stranger danger, leash reactivity, and more behavior needs. After unsuccessful experiences with an aversive-prone trainer, redirected aggression at an overwhelming board and train, and multiple instances of aggressive behaviors displayed towards friends at home, Rico’s well-meaning family finally found an experienced behavior consultant to provide clarity amidst this chaos. 🌤️

This is where I entered Rico’s life, working with my colleague to develop a proper stranger ritual with Rico, so Rico could begin to feel safe, confident that his voice would be heard, and understanding that he wouldn’t be forced to be friends with people or dogs unless he was comfortable. ☮️

In the past two years, holy moly(!!), Rico Riquísimo’s and my relationship has developed from coexisting to being cuddle buddies! How did we get to this point, you ask? Through science-informed behavior training in consults and homestays! Stay tuned for more Rico sightings to learn more! 😉🤩

Do you need that crisp, new-book smell in your life, full of inspiration and fresh perspective? Look no further than my #1 recommended book, Comfortable with Uncertainty by Pema Chödrön, bite-sized practical philosophy for everyday life! 🌊

This gem gives incredible perspective in both my personal life and (you guessed it!) my work with animals - human, furry, feathered, and everyone in between. Imagine incorporating mindfulness lessons like "Start Where You Are," "Lighten Up (and Do Something Different)," "Getting to Know Fear," and "Nowness" into your daily life with your animals...everybody benefits! 🕊

When working with behavior needs like fear/anxiety, aggression, reactivity, stranger danger, hyper-arousal, isolation distress/separation anxiety, and more, I'm grateful that I have this book as a resource, and I hope it may be of benefit to you, too. 🙏

Pump yourself up with tricks for self-made motivation, fill your cup with tips to develop a simple mindfulness practice, and quell the tempest of anxiety that challenges us all from time to time...and then tell me which passage was your favorite! 🌿
