No one else seems to understand that no matter how much you “want to train," it's often hard for your brain to put thoughts into action. 

They don't understand the different barriers you might face when training with your dog - like sensory sensitivities or executive functioning differences. 

Oh, but we do. We really, really get it.

You want your dog to feel safe and confident but…

Sometimes training just feels overwhelming, overstimulating, or like a chore.

At Confident Mutts, we know that training a dog as an anxious and neurodivergent guardian isn’t just about teaching behaviors or attending classes.

It’s also about navigating the whirlwind of big feelings, sensory overload, and the endless to-do lists that our busy brains just can’t keep up with. But listen…

You’re not the problem—the approach is.

You’ve found the right group of dog guardians on the internet if..

  • You're the guardian of a dog who shows reactive or fearful behaviors. 

  • You have maybe (or definitely) brought up your dog in therapy.

  • You identify as anxious, ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, OCD, or anything else under the neurodivergent umbrella

  • You feel like other dog training resources are created for neurotypical brains and they don't address your own needs.
