This community is for parents and carers of children or adults with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) who want to train a dog to provide real daily support.
Inside the community you’ll learn how to:
• Choose the right dog temperament for PDA support
• Train regulation and support tasks without increasing demand anxiety
• Build predictable co-regulation between dog and handler
• Integrate the dog into daily life, school and transitions
Results families often see within 8–12 weeks:
• Reduced anxiety around everyday demands
• Improved emotional regulation
• Smoother transitions and routines
• Increased independence and confidence
Why it works
• PDA-friendly, autonomy-preserving training
• Nervous-system based approach
• Designed specifically for PDA profiles
Without the right approach, many assistance dog attempts fail.With the right structure, dogs become powerful regulation partners.
