I didn’t expect it to be this healing – for me and my dog.

Bosko, our Great Pyrenees, came to us with deep trauma – picked up as a stray, then confined in too-small a kennel for a two-day transport. Car rides felt like a death sentence to him. We’d worked with behavior consultants and made progress, but something was still missing … until I found Annie.

Her course connected everything I’d been learning. The way she teaches – through stories, deep compassion, and practical insight – helped me truly understand the why behind trauma-informed care.

I finally felt confident in the choices I was making, and supported in how I show up for both Bosko and our newly adopted dog. This isn’t just a course, it’s a lifeline for anyone walking this path.
