Helping anxious, reactive & aggressive dogs feel safe and understood.

You and your dog deserve to feel calm, confident, and connected. Let’s find a path forward together with science-based, compassionate online training that works.

You’re not alone. Many loving dog owners struggle with behavior challenges.

If your dog’s behavior feels unpredictable or overwhelming, I hear you. Whether it’s lunging, barking, growling, or hiding in fear, it can feel confusing and frustrating. Maybe you’ve tried different training methods and nothing has worked—or worse, you’ve been made to feel like a bad owner.

The truth is: your dog isn’t bad. They just need help feeling safe. And I’m here to help you navigate this journey with understanding, not judgment.

A compassionate, science-based approach to understanding your dog.

I’m Megan Shevlin, a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) specializing in fear, anxiety, and reactivity. I’ve helped hundreds of dogs feel safe and comfortable in their world—without force, fear, or punishment.

I’ve been in your shoes. My own dog, Leo, struggled with reactivity, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why I focus on custom, realistic solutions that fit your life—so you and your dog can thrive together.
