Human-Canine Relations

The number one reason for behavioral euthanasia and surrender is
not the behavior itself, but rather the inability of methods to address the behavior.

Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is proven to:

• decrease surrenders to shelters and rescue organizations

• increase successful adoptions through a proven integration formula

• decrease the length of time of dogs in shelters and rescue orgs due to behavioral issues

• eliminate the perceived need to use aversive and harmful measures to address behaviors

• prevent behavioral euthanasia causing stress to vets, clinic staff, and pet parents

UPWARD Dogology™ was created out of a need to understand why dogs were being surrendered and euthanized due to behavioral reasons, and find a solution to the problem. The UPWARD Dogology™ formula has helped thousands of adopters, rescuers and fosters. We are working toward sharing the formula on a greater scale to ensure all dogs have the opportunity to live their best lives in a good home.

My Mission as an Animal Welfare Activist:

I am motivated to spread awareness of UPWARD Dogology because everyday I help people who are at their wits end. The most common response is, “Why is this methodology not “out there?”  It grinds my gears when dogs are killed because there is only method in mainstream dog education.

Pet parents are blamed, when it fact it is the refusal of the organizations providing behavioral experts to acknowledge the limitations (which is different from effectiveness) of conditioning methods. Learn more about different methods here Methods
