Behavior-focused coach helping guardians turn carriers from trigger to refuge through desensitization schedules, privacy controls, and escape-prevention hardware choices.

A carrier should lower arousal, not contain it by force.

A shepherd who pancaked at the sight of her soft carrier taught me patience. We started with the carrier's base detached, building micro-sessions around dinner. Within weeks she walked in on cue and settled behind a privacy panel. The same carrier that triggered panic became her predictable den.

I favor features that reduce sensory load and escape risk over maximum internal volume.
