Overview

Written by trauma-informed canine behavior consultant Adia Shanee, this powerful, interactive guide explores how nature-based enrichment can help dogs re-regulate, rebuild trust, and rediscover their instincts-without force, fear, or overwhelm. With stories from the field, grounded science, and practical guidance, Adia introduces a new standard of care rooted in emotional intelligence and real relationship in this experiential toolkit. This is about showing up differently-for the dog in front of you, for the relationship you're building, and for the chance to meet their needs the best we can with what we have. From creating plant-based ""pluffle mats"" to facilitating stillness through Whisper Walks, Nature Therapy offers accessible tools that meet dogs where they are-especially those who are misunderstood, shut down, or overstimulated by modern life. Designed for active engagement, this book is for anyone who's ever looked at their dog and thought, ""There has to be a better way."" Whether you're a first-time guardian, seasoned professional, or rescue worker, Nature Therapy will change how you see behavior-and how you show up for the dog in front of you. Because behavior isn't the enemy. It's the invitation.

Author Information

Adia Shanee is a trauma-informed canine behavior consultant, educator, and author devoted to transforming the way we see and support our dogs. Known for her emotionally intelligent, bold approach to guardianship, she brings both clarity and compassion to an industry too often ruled by control. Her book, Nature Therapy: Rewilding the Canine Spirit, invites us to reconnect with the wild wisdom of our canines and reimagine enrichment as a daily act of necessity, healing, trust, and relationship. Rooted in her own experiences with misunderstood canines, Adia invites us to listen to what behavior is trying to tell us before we rush to correct it. She is the founder of TICA the Trauma-Informed Canine Alliance and a leading voice in the movement to create emotionally safe, regulation-based care for both dogs and the humans who love them. With a deep understanding of the needs of the modern-day dog, Adia helps guardians lead with presence not pressure in an increasingly overstimulating world. Adia lives with her pack Apollo, Athena, Raina, and Major and believes every guardian has the power to build trust and respect the true foundation of connection.
