What an incredible honor to have our research called out by Professor Daniel Mills at CANIS Conference.

Guess what! We found that when you treat for pain in conflict aggression cases, the frequency and severity of bites goes down! Ask us how to advocate for pain trials in cases of conflict aggression and resource guarding owners!

Friends, we are asking for your prayers and good wishes as we navigate a very scary health crisis for Jenn’s dog, Primrose.

And also your patience. If you are one of the many people whose behavior training has been rescheduled due to Prim’s hospitalization, thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have an upcoming session with Jenn, it is possible you might get a call to reschedule.

Being hospitalized is scary for anyone, but Prim is taking it very hard, which means lots of mom sitting on the floor time.

Again, thank you for your patience. We love you. Pass it on.
