Get ready-to-use routines for settling and reset moments, reward strategies that keep dogs motivated, and simple adjustments for dogs who are deaf, blind, anxious, or have spatial/movement sensitivities. You’ll walk away with session ideas, troubleshooting steps, and calm-breathing protocols for both you and your dog.
