→ How it works
1. You fill in a short form — her name, a photo, what’s been going on, and anything you’d like me to ask her. No idea what to ask? Leave it blank and I’ll follow whatever comes.
2. I sit with her. I do all my sessions in one quiet block on a Friday morning, before the day gets going.
3. You get it in writing, within 7 days. If your form’s with me by Thursday it’s usually back with you that weekend.
→ What you’ll get
A proper letter, not a template — usually 400 to 700 words.
Your questions and what came back to them. Anything else that turned up that I think you’d want to know. And where it’s useful, one or two small things you might change at home — nothing complicated, nothing that needs equipment.
I don’t tidy it into something neat. You get what came, in the order it came, including the bits that made no sense to me. Quite often those are the ones that mean the most to you.
→ What this isn’t
It isn’t a behaviour plan. If she genuinely can’t be left, or there’s a baby coming, that’s the Calm Dog Blueprint — a different thing. This is a conversation, not a strategy.
It is never a diagnosis. I don’t do pain, I don’t do illness and I don’t do “where does it hurt”. If anything physical comes up I’ll tell you plainly and send you to your vet — every time, no exceptions.
And I can’t promise what will come. Some sessions are full, some are quiet. If almost nothing comes I’ll tell you straight and refund you.
→ If you’re not sure you believe in this
Most people aren’t, and that’s completely fine.
You don’t have to believe in any of it for it to be useful to you. I’m not asking you to take my word for anything — I’m asking you to read what I send and hold it up against the dog you already know. You’ll know within about four lines whether it sounds like her.
→ About me
I’m Ciara. I’ve been around dogs for over fifteen years and I hold an Advanced Certificate in Animal Science and Behaviour, alongside intuitive Reiki Master training and animal communication training.
I’m not a behaviourist and I’m not a vet. I work with what dogs are carrying — and the rest of my work, The Calm Dog Method™, is built on the same ground.
