Meet Lyndsey: The heart behind Breakthrough Dogs

I’m the founder of Breakthrough Dogs and the creator of the Intuitive Regulation Method, a relationship‑based approach for dogs who feel deeply.

I specialize in dogs who:

• Get overwhelmed easily

• Shut down or escalate quickly

• Struggle in social maturity

• Don’t respond to obedience training

• Are sensitive to energy, tone, and environment

These dogs aren’t “difficult.”

They’re misunderstood.

Over the years, I’ve developed a way of working that blends intuitive clarity with grounded behavioral science. I read the subtle signals most people miss — the micro‑shifts in breath, weight, eyes, tension, and energy that reveal what a dog is experiencing beneath the surface.

My approach brings together:

• Intuitive observation

• Nervous‑system regulation

• Relationship‑based behavior work

• Environmental clarity

• Owner attunement

I don’t “fix” dogs.

I help them feel safe enough to choose better behavior.
