Our Story
The Beginning
At Chaos to Calm Pets, my passion started as a child with my first pet budgie. When I got my first dog I realized inter-species friendships were possible and never looked back!
The Future
We are always looking for ways to improve and expand our services. Our goal is to become the go-to pet training/socializing provider in our area and beyond.
Our Values
At Chaos to Calm Pets, we value compassion, integrity, and professionalism. We treat every pet with the love and respect they deserve, no matter how small or what their price tag is, every life is just as important as the next!

How Asynchronous Coaching Keeps Everyone Safe
Video review coaching lets us assess your household's unique dynamics without the stress of a stranger's presence. You film your pets in their natural environment, submit the footage, and receive detailed written and video feedback — all on your schedule. This is especially valuable for reactive dogs or prey-driven animals who need a calm, familiar environment to show their true baseline behaviors.
