Helping rescue dog owners with behavior, training & real support

31/10/2026

Meeting a fearful dog? How you say hello matters.

Many bites come from fear, not bad behavior. A fearful dog may misread a social moment and bite defensively.

Swipe for a quick Do and Don't. The full list, with every sign of fear, is in the blog.

This post is about how to safely interact with a fearful dog, including rescue dogs and shelter dogs.

I was in the middle of fundraising and I felt really lost. No mentor, nobody guiding me.
Then I met Sarah. Our first call, we hit it off. I knew I had found the business strategy partner this team needed.
She has 20 years of experience as a business consultant in the pet industry, and she helps me think through my questions every week. She also asks if I’m resting enough and if I’m stressing too much. She cares about me, not just the company.
Sarah, thank you. I’m lucky to have you. 💛

For years, nobody could visit my home, because my rescue dogs were terrified of people.

Rocky and Tommy were scared of people. We only walked in quiet forests and empty parks, so we would not run into anyone. And honestly? I was scared too.

Then I found a trainer who used positive reinforcement only. First it was just us. Then the trainer came to my home, and my friends came over.

It took time. But slowly, my friends and my dogs got comfortable.

This post is about helping a scared rescue dog get comfortable with guests.

I built LeashAgain to help new adopters through the first 90 days after adoption.

For five months, I’ve been trying to raise money.
The hardest part wasn’t hearing no from investors.
It was the brokers and platforms that go after founders when they’re most desperate. $300 a month for a database of names and emails. No warm introduction. No real help. Just a list.
I turned down a few of them. What I needed was a real person to make a real introduction.
If you’re a founder getting pitched this, ask one question: who will actually pick up the phone for me?
Have you been sold to when you needed help?

Oh gosh, I wish I had someone to talk to without judgement.

Now you do. Whenever something comes up with your rescue dog, you can chat with Companion in LeashAgain. Easy. No judgement. And you are never alone.

"Why won't my dog listen?"
"Is this normal?"
"Should I be worried?"
Ask it all.

Two chats, one place:
Training Expert for training tips and techniques.
Health Adviser for health and medical guidance.

Made for the first 90 days after adoption. Educational guidance only, it does not replace your vet or trainer.

Next up on Thursday: Rocky, Tommy, and the years nobody could visit my home.

In the past five months, I’ve been to a few countries, and every one treated stray dogs differently.
Armenia: vaccinated, well fed, welcome everywhere.
Turkey: dogs and cats in the shops and restaurants, calm because people are kind to them.
North America: strict laws, and strays go to shelters.
Iran, where I found Rocky and Tommy: strays are treated as a problem to get rid of.
Same dogs. Different treatment.
Where people show kindness, dogs show it back.
Where have you seen it done right?

Before you teach your adopted dog one command, watch your dog.

New adopters, this is the first skill to learn.

A puppy you raised gives you years to learn their signals. A newly adopted dog gives you weeks, sometimes days, before you have to decide: a new person, a new dog, a car ride, a vet visit.

Stiff. Panting. Tail tucked. Avoiding eye contact. Each one says something, as clearly as a relaxed dog does. The skill is noticing the quiet version before it becomes the loud one.

Fear Free's most watched video is not about commands. It is Dog Body Language 101. Short on time? Start with their Newly Adopted Pets kit.

This post is about reading body language in a newly adopted dog.

I've been meaning to write this for a while.

A few weeks ago, Alyssa Cary, MS, LVT officially joined LeashAgain as an advisor.

She came in quietly, in the way that the best advisors do — not with a big announcement but with real work. She's been helping us curate evidence-based resources for families inside the app, and shaping our criteria for vetting trainers in the marketplace. Her input on what good rescue-experienced training actually looks like has been exactly what we needed.

Alyssa is a licensed veterinary technician with a master's degree and a career built around one thing: making animal behavior education accessible. Not just to professionals — to the pet parents and families who need it most. She works with Fear Free, which means she brings a trauma-informed, low-stress philosophy to everything she touches.

That's exactly the lens LeashAgain is built through.

We're building something for rescue dog families in the hardest window — the first 90 days. The guidance they get during that time needs to be grounded in real behavioral science, not just well-meaning advice. Alyssa makes sure it is.

Grateful she said yes.

Welcome to the team properly, Alyssa. 🐾
