MarkOwner of a rescue mix

I used to walk him at 11 PM just to avoid other dogs. It was so stressful. Now, we pass dogs on the sidewalk and he just looks up at me instead of lunging. This plan completely changed our lives.

RachelOwner of a pandemic rescue

I hadn't left my house for more than an hour without feeling sick to my stomach. Now she just sleeps on the rug when I grab my keys. Total freedom.

JamesOwner of a German Shepherd

I was so embarrassed being dragged down the street every morning. My shoulder ached. Finding his actual threshold completely changed our walks. My leash is finally loose.
