12 weeks of separation Anxiety course with Lauren has absolutely changed our life. From a dog who panics as soon as we leave the door to a dog who can comfortably handle a duration of over an hour. I was absolutely blown away by the competency and experience of our trainer and now that th course has ended feel equipped and ready to continue our separation anxiety journey. Thank you CCA!

Lauren is AMAZING! She was able to answer every question I have about my dog Harry, and maybe me feel so confident with our training plan. Highly recommend CCA.

CCA have been fantastic for us with our bike reactive dog Ginny. We used their remote private training since we weren't in NY and it was still better than other trainers we've worked with in person. They're easily the most organized, they have amazing content, and they give you training tools that are easy to generalize to new issues that may pop up. Highly recommend

I'm finishing up Feisty Fido with Lauren and can't say enough good about the course and trainer. My sheltie and I have worked with so many trainers but struggled to make real progress on her complex reactivity and sound sensitivity. Lauren is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and professional. The holistic approach to CCA is highly effective, tailors the class to each dog, and is designed to set you up for long term success. It has improved my relationship with my dog and set us on a wonderful path. And the course was very well planned and executed - the best virtual course set up I have seen, by far. CCA is the best!

Cannot recommend highly enough - the Feisty Fido online group training course with Lauren has been life-changing for me and my sensitive dog. The structured approach really helps you set goals and build consistent progress using proven, force-free techniques, and you have constant support from your trainer. Lauren is professional, kind, and really took the time to get to know me and my dog, tailoring her experience to our unique challenges and helping us get some great results. We will definitely be looking at more CCA training in the future - thank you Lauren!

A great support-driven class! Use of slack provides support in between classes. Not only from trainer, but from peers. I felt this made a huge difference!

Through virtual sessions and consultation and follow ups on WhatsApp between sessions, Namita gave us amazing tools that majorly improved our reactive dog Sarah’s ability to cope and recover in a busy city environment. She also helped us solve reactivity in the car which is now nearly 100% resolved - and a huge impact on our quality time together. We learned so much from Namita and her expertise was instrumental to Sarah’s progress (and our’s)

Our virtual sessions with Ingrid completely changed how my dog interacts with others. Before beginning with CCA, my dog could barely walk past other dogs without lunging and attempting to bite - now, she is able to go past most dogs with no incident. This is all due to Ingrid's gentle and compassionate approach to dog training, which helped not only my dog but helped me reframe my approach to working on her issues. Can't recommend CCA enough!!

Namita and the whole team at Calm Canine have been amazing! I was so stressed with my dogs reactivity to the door, her scavenging which has caused many emergency vet trips and overall fear and anxiety. I was lost at what to do next, but after following calm canine on Instagram and loving their ethos and approach to supporting dogs and their guardians I decided to reach out to help, the best decision we have made! Namita helped us understand some of the reasons why we might be seeing this behaviour, helped us rethink our approaches to certain situations and gave us the confidence to really help us turn a corner. The detailed videos and support were amazing and the contact throughout the whole process was invaluable. We still have a little way to go but she has come on leaps and bounds in a few months, there’s hardly any reactivity to the door, the scavenging is almost at zero (some things are just to tempting not to pick up) when it does happen we can easily get back whatever she’s picked up and her confidence in new situations/environments is so much better. We used to dread walks and having to go anywhere with her because it was so stressful for her and for us but slowly this has become fun and something we all look forward to. Thank you so so much for all your help!

My partner and I took the separation anxiety course with Lauren and we had a very positive experience. Our dog Willow has struggled with SA since she was about 8 months old. We’ve worked with another trainer for 6 months and didn’t get very far. We’ve seen more progress working with Lauren over the last 12 weeks than we did in the previous 6 months of training! The program is very well designed, Lauren is a very knowledgeable and compassionate trainer and we are really happy that we made the investment. Highly recommend for anyone who’s struggling with their dog’s SA.
