If you have an anxious or overstimulated dog, Talk Without Touch is overstimulating, confusing, and activates the sympathetic nervous system.

However... Touch Without Talk can soothe an overactive mind.

Petting is just petting, but truly getting present with your dog, by breathing and grounding yourself first, can convey calmness, peace, and the unconditional love that you and your dog both deserve.

We offer two ways to participate in this class:– With your dog: $35 + Eventbrite fees– Audit without your dog: $25 + Eventbrite fees
