Connected Companions Support Group
Looking for a supportive community to express all your feelings about life with your dog? You’ve found it!
Addressing your dog’s behaviour concerns, coming to terms with lifestyle limitations, acknowledging how they make you feel & honouring the dog you got rather than the dog you wanted, is hard personal work. There is no need to do it alone.
Consider this an emotional support group for dog people.
Now Live!

I am here to gently support you through emotionally difficult phases while raising your dog.
We meet on zoom on the second and or last Wednesday of every month for 60-90 minutes at 7pm PST. We chat all things dog.
This is a place to be heard, to vent, to celebrate, to connect with others who understand your struggles & triumphs… and if you need it, receive supportive suggestions that might help you find more peace on your path.Our community holds wisdom. This is a place to feel understood and inspired by others walking a similar path as you. A place to ask a professional (that’s me!) for guidance with whatever is present for you this month. A place to get direction and comfort & to keep you progressing.
My job is to help you find hope again. -
The internet is loaded with information that can be equally useful as it can be harmful for both you & your dog’s relationship.
I have a great understanding of, and appreciation for the complexities that come with having a dog with behaviour that stresses you out. I get how much chaos it can create in your life!
Raising a sensitive dog can be isolating and lonely. Raising a reactive dog can be alienating and anxiety inducing. Having a not-so-normal puppy can make you question it all. Having a dog with anxiety concerns can push you to your breaking point. Having a dog that is not comfortable with guests can have damaging impacts on your interpersonal relationships…
Dogs can end friendships, cause divorce, impact the safety of our children, flare up our mental health concerns, impact our health & seriously financially drain us… this is challenging stuff to work through!
Our dog’s healing is our healing, and vice versa.
You aren’t alone in your experiences, stresses or feelings. And you shouldn’t have to feel that way.
