Welcome to the C.+A.R.E.S Program
(Creating +Associations by Reducing Environmental Stress)

This comprehensive behavior modification program will guide you through all of the layers of caring for a dog struggling with fears and how to effectively help your dog go from stressed-out to chilled-out.

You'll learn about why your dog may be reactive in certain situations, how to set them up for success, and how to help change how they feel in stressful situations all while having the support and guidance you need every step of the way.

For more information or to chat with me to see if you and your dog would be a good fit for the C.+A.R.E.S program, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

Welcome to The Speaking Dog Academy

Hey! I'm Jamie Shellington, professional dog trainer and behavior coach with a specialty in fear/anxiety/stress in dogs.

My passion is and has always been building solid relationships between humans and dogs. Listening to your needs, teaching you how to listen to your dog's needs, and strengthening that line of communication between the two of you is where it all begins. 


Welcome to The Speaking Dog - I hope to meet you soon!
