Behavior is Communication

Guessing games are fun when they’re on purpose. But when your dog is trying to tell you something that you don’t understand, it’s frustrating – for both of you.

Since dogs can’t talk it out, they ACT it out.

When your dog feels uncomfortable, vulnerable and unheard … their behavior escalates from a whisper to a scream.

  • Your reactive dog completely loses it around other dogs or triggers
  • Your excitable dog pulls and barks when you try to go for a walk.
  • Your distracted dog won’t come if you don’t have a treat.
  • Your fearful dog panics, hides or barks and can’t be calmed.
  • Your aloof dog just doesn’t seem to want to bond with you.
Dogs and their moms

Imagine what it’ll be like when you and your dog can finally understand one another.

With the Dancing Hearts partnership lifestyle method, dogs and their human moms can feel calm, happy and enjoy their life together.
