“Every time your dad comes over, Daisy runs behind the couch…”

Papier-mâché puppet world. The first scene was locked as the anchor and every later starting frame was checked against it, the character sheets and the shot before, then all frames were checked together for drift, before any animation was paid for.

What it does

  • Pain first: she hides behind the couch and shakes every time your dad visits.
  • Why the usual fix fails: carrying her to him makes her more scared, so she hides faster.
  • Cost: your dad hasn't petted her in a year, no more visitors, feeling like you're failing her.
  • The fix, shown: the trainer spots she's fine while he sits and panics when he stands; dad stays on the floor, ignores her, tosses treats closer.
  • Payoff and proof: she takes a treat from his hand on her own; Gaylene C.'s real Trustpilot quote; 80,000+ counter; "Get your custom training plan today".

Primary text

Every time your dad comes over, your dog runs behind the couch and shakes until he leaves. You carry her over to him and he holds out his hand, but pushing her closer only makes her more scared.

Your dad hasn't been able to pet her in a year, you've stopped having people over, and some days you feel like you're failing her.

A Dog Academy trainer comes to your house and watches your dog with the people she's scared of. He'll spot exactly what sets her off, then has your visitor sit on the floor, ignore her and toss treats a little closer each time, so she decides when to come over.

Gaylene said her puppy Roman was scared of men and loud noises, and now he gets more confident every day. Dog Academy has worked with more than 80,000 owners and their dogs.
