The Caring Human Code®
RESET Course
A 5-Week Online Course to Rebuild Trust, Reduce Stress,
and Create a Calmer Life With Your Dog
Slow down. Reconnect. Start fresh – together.
If daily life with your dog feels stressful, confusing, or overwhelming, you’re not alone. Most dog parents have been taught to manage behaviour… instead of understanding the emotional world behind it.
The Caring Human Code® RESET course helps you pause the noise, rebuild trust, and learn a calmer, clearer way of living with your dog — grounded in empathy, communication, and emotional safety.
Over five transformational weeks,
you’ll discover how to:
- Reduce everyday tension and misunderstandings
- Read your dog’s early signals with confidence
- Support your dog emotionally – especially when they’re anxious or reactive
- Communicate with your body, not constant commands
- Create a balanced, peaceful rhythm in daily life
- Feel grounded, connected, and capable as your dog’s safe human
By the end of RESET, you won’t just see positive changes in your dog — you’ll feel the shift in your relationship.
You’ll know how to prevent overwhelm, respond calmly, and build a life based on trust, respect, and genuine connection.

Why Life With Your Dog Feels Hard
— And Why It’s Not Your Fault
Most dog parents are doing their best with the information they’ve been given. But the common “obedience-first” approach often creates more stress, pressure, and confusion — for both human and dog.
You may be experiencing any of these:
Your dog reacts, pulls, freezes, or shuts down and you’re not sure why
- Daily routines feel tense — walks, visitors, other dogs, or new environments
- You’ve tried training, but your dog still seems overwhelmed or anxious
- You feel guilty, frustrated, or like you’re “missing something”
- You want to help your dog, but don’t know where to start
- You wish things felt calmer, easier, and more Connected
Here’s the truth:
Your dog is not giving you a hard time — they’re having a hard time.
And when you understand their emotional world, everything changes.
RESET helps you slow down, see the real needs behind behaviour, and build a foundation of trust, emotional safety, and clear communication — without pressure, force, or micromanagement.
This is where your RESET begins.
Introducing The Caring Human Code® RESET
A gentle, science-informed, relationship-first approach to living with your dog.
RESET is a 5-week online course that helps you understand your dog’s emotional world, rebuild trust, and create a calmer daily life — without pressure, force, or obedience-based control.
Instead of “fixing” behaviour, you’ll learn how to:
- Support your dog emotionally
- Read early stress and calming signals
- Create safety before asking for cooperation
- Communicate with your body instead of constant cues
- Build daily habits that reduce stress and build confidence
- Make choices that empower you and your dog
- Move at a pace that feels safe, doable, and nourishing
RESET is not another training program.
It’s a new way of living with your dog — one built on trust, respect, and deep awareness.
Each week, you’ll explore one principle from the C.R.E.A.T.E. model and anchor it with a guided RESET practice so change feels natural and sustainable.
By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident, grounded, and connected… and your dog will feel understood, supported, and safe with you.

What Makes RESET Different
This Course Doesn’t Only Teach You About Your Dog
— It Supports You, the Human Behind the Leash
Most dog courses focus entirely on behaviour, obedience, or “fixing” the dog.
RESET is different. It recognizes something essential:
Your dog can only feel
as safe as you feel.
Your emotional state, your pace, your ability to stay grounded — these shape your dog’s world every single day.
That’s why RESET is built around supporting you as much as your dog, so you can grow together without guilt, pressure, or overwhelm.
Inside the course, you’ll:
- Learn to recognise your own stress signals and how they affect your dog
- Build calm, sustainable habits that feel good for both of you
- Slow down so you can observe instead of react
- Move away from frustration, self-doubt, or “I’m doing it wrong”
- Develop a grounded presence your dog can trust
- Understand your needs, boundaries, and energy as part of the process
- Become the stable, caring human your dog relies on
RESET teaches you the emotional, practical, and relational skills needed to create a healthy, peaceful life — not by demanding more from your dog, but by supporting you so you can show up differently.
Because when you feel calmer, clearer, and more confident…
your dog feels safer, braver, and more connected.
And that’s where real transformation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my dog is reactive, fearful, or easily overwhelmed?
RESET was designed exactly for dogs who struggle with stress, reactivity, sensitivity, or uncertainty.
This is not obedience training — it’s a relationship-based, emotional-safety approach that helps calm the nervous system and rebuild trust.
Most “reactive” dogs actually thrive in this model.
Do I need any training experience to join?
Not at all.
RESET is built for everyday dog parents who want a calmer, more connected relationship with their dog.
You’ll get clear explanations, examples, and weekly practices that make everything feel doable.
Will this course help if I’ve already tried training and it didn’t work?
Yes. RESET is different because it doesn’t rely on pressure, obedience, or command-based micromanagement.
Instead, you’ll learn a new way of understanding your dog — through trust, communication, and emotional awareness.
Many parents join after feeling discouraged with traditional training.
What if I can’t attend all live sessions?
All live sessions are recorded and available for 1 full year, so you can watch or rewatch whenever you need.
Many students attend some sessions live and catch up on others later.
How long are the weekly lessons?
Each week includes 2.5 hours of live teaching on Sundays, plus short, simple weekly practices you can integrate into your daily routine.
What if I feel overwhelmed easily — will this be too much?
RESET was specifically created to avoid overwhelm.
You learn with gentle, realistic practices designed to support both you and your dog.
The tone of the course is calm, compassionate, and supportive.
Is this suitable for puppies or older dogs?
Yes — the emotional-safety principles apply across all ages.
Puppies benefit from early, trust-based support, and older dogs often relax deeply when communication becomes clearer and less pressured.
What if my dog has aggression issues?
RESET can support dogs with big feelings and stress-based behaviour, but it is not a replacement for veterinary or clinical behaviour support.
If we believe you need additional help, we will guide you toward appropriate resources.
What exactly do the VIP sessions cover?
Whatever you need.
Your trainer will help you:
• Understand your dog’s behaviour
• Apply RESET tools to your unique situation
• Create a plan for specific challenges
• Support both your dog’s emotions and your own
These sessions are private, confidential, and fully personalized.
Can I upgrade to VIP later?
Yes — as long as there are still VIP spots available.
However, VIP spaces are limited to ensure individualized support.
