Sensitive dogs often carry invisible tension - the kind that can make everyday life feel like a challenge for both of you.

On Sunday 9th November, I’ll be sharing one of my favourite topics at the Love In Action Summit – how ACE Free Work helps sensitive dogs thrive.

ACE Free Work is all about slowing things down, giving dogs choice, and helping them process the world at their own pace. It can support:
- Confidence and curiosity.
- Recovery from stress or trauma.
- Handling, grooming and vet care.
- Calmness around triggers and change.

It’s simple, gentle and deeply effective – and you don’t need fancy equipment to start.

Some dogs aren’t comfortable being any distance from their caregiver. A simple scattering of food around a room or two and then leaving the dog to explore. This can be an easy low pressure way to grow their comfort in moving away from their human.
