Founded with passion. Based in science.
We empower individuals to improve their quality of life and restore joy to their relationships with their dogs using the science of behavior. By helping people understand and confidently respond to their dog’s behavior, we restore hope, unlock joy, and strengthen bonds.
We also support professionals in incorporating evidence-based, data-oriented practices into their work with dogs and their families.
We are proud to be a woman- and queer-owned business. We work with dogs and their humans on a wide range of behaviors, from establishing the skills that facilitate harmonious relationships to improving challenging behaviors like aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and more.
