How this group works
Treat every pet as an individual
Species, breed, age, and size provide context but never guarantee behavior or compatibility.
Keep private locations private
Use parks, districts, and public meeting points instead of home addresses or routine GPS history.

I am comparing calm, repeatable routines rather than quick fixes. What helped, what did you change, and how long did you give it?
