Different dogs. Same worry.
Some pace. Some stare. Some cling. Some withdraw. Some simply stop feeling like themselves.
The pattern is different for every dog — but the owner's question is often the same:
"What is happening, and what should I do tonight?"
Seven nights. One steady routine.
Night 1
Print the Calming Evening Routine and start the 6 PM cutoff. One change tonight — nothing more.
Night 3
The calm-connection cornerstone is in place. This is where most owners notice the first shift.
Night 7
Read your Night Pacing Log back. Seven nights of structured observation shows what actually changed.
Free 2-minute DISHAA assessment
