Sometimes the kindest and most important thing you can do is simply take the fear and stress away.
If you’ve ever watched your dog shake, pant, bark, drool, dig, pace or freeze with fear during fireworks, vet visits, grooming, car journeys, visitors or being left alone, you’ll know how awful it feels.
You may already be working on the long-term plan, or perhaps this is a new issue, or maybe you’ve tried training, toys, treats, calming products and careful planning and nothing seems to help. Some situations simply can’t be avoided, and that can leave both you and your dog exhausted, upset and stuck.
Short-acting medication can be a kind and effective way to take away the fear for a short period of time. It isn’t about “drugging” your dog or knocking them out. Used properly, these medications help your dog feel calmer and safer while still being able to potter around, eat, cuddle, chew or sleep as normal
Calm When It Counts shows you how to work with your vet to:
- choose the right medication
- test it safely at home, and
- find the correct dose and timing
so your dog is properly supported when life gets tricky.
What you’ll learn
-
What short-acting medications are and how they work. In straightforward, guardian-friendly language, without any pharmacology lectures..
- When they might help your dog. Fireworks, storms, vet appointments, grooming, nail trims, visitors, car journeys, separation and more.
- How to talk to your vet about medication. What information to take, what questions to ask, and how to work together to find the best option for your individual dog.
- How to test medication safely and effectively. How to check for side effects and identify the right timing and dose for your dog
-
What “calm” should look like. What you’d expect to see when the medication is doing its job, and what to do if it isn’t.
- How medication fits with everything else you’re doing. How it supports training, lifestyle changes, health checks and confidence-building, using our House of Harmony approach so you can see the bigger picture.
Why this is different
This course isn’t about simply giving medication and hoping for the best. It’s about giving you the knowledge and confidence to use it safely and kindly, so your dog can just relax.
You will learn how to:
- understand what you’re giving and why
- use the lowest effective dose
- spot side effects early
- work with your vet (and behaviourist, trainer, groomer, physio or other professionals) as a team.
Calm When It Counts is designed for real life. We understand that some situations are unavoidable or essential – like vet care or grooming – and even when you’re doing everything right, your dog may still find them overwhelming.
Medication doesn’t replace the longer-term work on confidence and wellbeing, but it can take away the fear so essential things can be done kindly and safely and prevent those fears from getting worse. Used well, it makes the whole journey easier and much kinder for both you and your dog.
What’s included
