Imagine a future where you truly understand your dog.
Are you ready to build a beautiful relationship with your dog?
Overwhelmed by dog training advice? Like humans, dogs experience emotions such as fear, frustration and anxiety, which is our speciality.
At Act of Dog, we keep it real. We understand that both dogs and their guardians need support. Whether you're a first-time guardian or experienced, we meet you and your dog where you’re at.
Act of Dog will give you the tools to build your skills as a guardian and a relationship with your dog based on trust, not fear.
Dog training alone won't help, but an Act of Dog will!
