Step 3: What to do during your dog’s time at the Dog Decompression Center?

To build momentum for your Canine Family Member's progress + continue strengthening your Canine Family Member’s good habits, we transfer the skills we learn to you!

For transferring the skills to you, we find that breaking the sessions into smaller weekly sessions is MUCH easier for everybody.

Among other things, doing everything all at once can be overwhelming for both human and canine learners.

Saving everything until the scheduled pick up day can make it hard to be present and in the moment during the reunion!

During your Canine Family Member’s stay with us, plan for one 30 minute transfer session by Zoom or phone, per week!
