Hello, I found Junior’s website accidentally when I was looking up for how to deal with overreacting, constantly pulling and barking dog. I was so desperate. When I read that these are signs of overstimulation I immediately knew that’s it! Some time ago my vet gave my dog a special kibble for overstimulated dogs, but he didn’t provide me with any advice, any help. Just changed his food. Yet Junior was the one who brought the idea of Detox to my life. I started it immediately and continuously for 2 weeks: the first week was a real detox: no dogs, calm and sleepy streets, no big parks; while in the 2nd week I started slowly adding dogs, dog parks and so on. It worked and still works! The Junior’s idea of Sniffari is one of the best. I used to be impatient with my super sniffing dog, but Junior helped me to realize how important is that for dogs. So, at least once a day we have a walk when my dog chooses streets - I simply follow his noise. And he is much more positively tired after that than a long physical play. And I’m really not the most patient person, yet when my dog has some “crazy” moments, I just take a deep breath. There is no reactive barking and no more pulling anymore. He even finally started reacting for the recall! I definitely can say - with no exaggeration - that Junior saved my relationship with my dog. The bond between us is much stronger now. I observe my pup more often and control his daily stimulations, since thanks to Junior I learnt my dog’s - and mine! - boundaries. I highly recommend Detox (and Sniffari) to any dog: like we, humans, need some “me time”, going to spa, take a break from people and cities — our dogs also need to get their mental rest. Thank you Junior for all your help and being in touch with me all the time of the detoxing my paw pal. Mateus and Hermes

I cannot recommend the 5-day detox process enough! When I first started, I honestly wasn’t sure if this approach would work for Booster and me. I believed being a good owner meant constantly keeping him entertained, but I quickly learned that I was actually feeding his overstimulation. Throughout the entire process, Junior was incredibly thoughtful in checking in and a wonderful guide. His support and insights made all the difference, helping me stay focused and confident even when things got tough. The detox process was eye-opening. On Day 1, seeing Booster so frantic made me realize he had no idea how to rest. It was tough, but the crate became our lifeline. By Day 3, things started to click—Booster began self-regulating, choosing rest after activities, and engaging in problem-solving games without frustration. The biggest breakthrough came on Day 4 when I discovered the right kind of exercise for him. Switching from high-intensity activities that overwhelmed him to structured fetch sessions transformed his behavior. He finally had the right outlet and natural pauses to reset. By Day 5, I saw the dog I had always hoped for—calm, focused, and able to settle independently. Post-detox, Booster has continued to impress me: he handles triggers better, settles easily in his crate, and even plays with other dogs with natural breaks—something he never did before. This experience taught me the true meaning of balance: the right kind of stimulation paired with intentional rest. Our new routine is simple, sustainable, and, most importantly, it works for both of us. Booster is now more balanced, confident, and calm. Thank you so much, Junior, for your thoughtful guidance—this journey has truly been a game-changer for us!
