Three Decades of Success! Thousands of Dogs!

Billie Groom is the leader in Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CCBT),
an evidence-based method proven to address behaviors associated
with dog anxiety, aggression, the “adolescent stage”, adult dogs, and
behaviors common among rescued and adopted dogs.

CCBT by Billie Groom is the only evidence-based method adhering to the principles of
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The formula is easy to apply, logical and effective.
The only “tool” used is your dog’s brain!

There are never any harmful or negative measures applied.
