if you use any of the ideas on this page and you’re feeling generous, you can buy me a ‘coffee’ any time 🙂 all funds go right back towards making new content and trying new methods!

I am happy to refer you to a qualified fear- and force-free professional in your area, or you can use this directory from Fear Free Pets!
