I would love for you to have these evenings. Time to understand your dog more deeply, and to notice the small discoveries while they are still small, in your own home, on the day you choose to begin.
Warmly, Lorrie

Both editions include
- Seven Fireside Self-ChecksOn Days 1, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 81: about thirty minutes to look back, look closely, and choose one small next step. In the accountability partner edition, send me the six from Day 14 through Day 81, and I answer each in writing within seventy-two hours.
- Eighty-one sensory encountersVela’s fireside cards, many paired with field lessons, one each evening, with twelve fireside letters, and yours to keep.
- Three Canine Resilience AssessmentsAt Day 0, Month 3, and Month 6, so you can see her recovery side by side. In the accountability partner edition, email me your completed Day 0 assessment and my full written debrief comes back within seventy-two hours.
- A closer look at your dogTen quiet minutes at each fire for one observation or a clip of your own, watched twice.
- The complete written programFour modules, companion books, practical pages, and eight quick reference sheets to keep.
- A way to return to the learningTwelve letters from me, one before you begin and one with each packet of eight cards, always there to reread.
How you begin
When you enroll, I send your access details, assessment instructions, and reference library. In the accountability partner edition, email me your completed assessment, and my debrief comes back within seventy-two hours. Choose your Day 1. Letter 1 arrives the evening before, your first card arrives that night, and one arrives each evening after that. Your dog can settle wherever she is comfortable.

What comes to me, and missed evenings
In the independent edition, your notes, clips, assessments, and Self-Checks are yours alone; nothing comes to me. In the accountability partner edition, your Day 0 assessment and your Self-Checks from Day 14 through Day 81 come to me, and I write back. Nothing is graded. Your dog never has to perform for anyone. If you miss an evening, the card waits. Return where you are; there is nothing to catch up.
The rhythm at home
Allow about ten minutes for a card, one each evening, with suggested evenings in each packet. Practice can take up to fifteen minutes; a search itself may last only a minute or two. Your dog may decline, and there is no requirement to catch up after a difficult week.
Your enrollment and ongoing support
One payment of $479 or $637 covers the whole program. There is no subscription and no renewal. The cards and written materials remain yours to keep.
There are no scheduled calls. The letters carry the teaching. In the accountability partner edition, so do your Day 0 debrief and my replies to your six Self-Checks. Private consultations are arranged separately. If there is a current bite or safety concern, please contact me before enrolling.
We did not win the walk. We came home to each other.
