Veterinarians, Scientists, Academia
Pet parents depend on their veterinarian to provide the most up-to-date methods that are fear-free and non-harmful in any way. By expanding into the realm of Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, veterinarians can provide their clients with proven solutions to behaviors that may lead to euthanasia if not addressed.

Animal Welfare, Animal Advocates, Dog Lovers
Animal Welfare is Billie’s passion. The UPWARD Dogology formula is proven to decrease abuse by decreasing frustration which can lead to surrenders and euthanasia. The skills are beneficial for everyone who volunteers with dogs, including at spay and neuter clinics, as seen in this photo from one of Billie’s many volunteer projects!
