Join Our TOC Family
We’re always adding easy-to-follow guides, expert-backed tips, and real talk to help you feel more confident (and less alone) during this wild ride.
New pet parent?
We've got you.
Bringing home a new dog can feel magical … and overwhelming. We’re always adding easy-to-follow guides, expert-backed tips, and real talk to help you feel more confident (and less alone) during this wild ride.
Just trying to help your dog thrive?
Christie started TOC when her dog Otis was terrified of, well … everything. Yes, even feathers. In her journey to help him, she became a certified professional dog trainer and built a network of trainers and behavior professionals we now get to learn from and share with you. From science-based strategies to honest stories—we’re here for you and your dog.
Want to collaborate
with TOC?
We’ve built our community with intention and heart. If your brand centers dogs’ well-being and cares deeply about the people in their lives—we’re open to working together. (And no, you don’t have to be a pet brand!)
Featured Courses
Join Challenge 2.0
Or when it’s time for meds, ear cleaning, or the dreaded cone? You’re not alone. That’s why we created Challenge 2.0—an on-demand course that helps you build a dialogue with your dog and teaches cooperative care techniques you’ll be able to apply to a variety of contexts through bite-sized videos.
