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!
