# ThresholdDog

> Personalised, week-by-week behaviour plans for dogs with separation anxiety or leash reactivity,
> built from a sourced protocol library and reviewed by a person before delivery. Free triage read
> (8-9 questions for one problem, 12 if a dog has both) with no account. We do not give medication
> advice and we do not coach dogs with a bite history remotely — those cases are refunded and
> referred to a veterinary behaviourist.

## Pages

- [/](https://thresholddog.com): What ThresholdDog is: a free honest read on your dog's separation anxiety or leash reactivity, and a personalised plan reviewed by a person.
- [/quiz](https://thresholddog.com/quiz): The free read (8-9 questions for one problem, 12 if a dog has both). Returns the behavioural pattern, a confidence level, severity, the three mistakes making it worse, a realistic timeline, and what the answers cannot establish.
- [/separation-anxiety](https://thresholddog.com/separation-anxiety): Separation anxiety guide: the named protocols with their attributions and evidence grades, the management rules, the documented mistakes, an honest timeline including where no data exists, and the signs that mean a vet visit first.
- [/leash-reactivity](https://thresholddog.com/leash-reactivity): Leash reactivity guide: LAT, engage-disengage, BAT 2.0, open bar/closed bar and the pattern games side by side with attributions and evidence grades, plus equipment stances and threshold distance explained.
- [/cost](https://thresholddog.com/cost): What help costs: veterinary behaviourist, certified separation-anxiety trainer, in-person consultant, live-video subscription, written plan, course, and free — with the cases where the expensive option is the correct one.

## Guides

- [/blog/board-and-train](https://thresholddog.com/blog/board-and-train): Why board and train is a poor fit for the two problems this site covers: separation anxiety is rehearsed in the dog's own home and reactivity is half handler mechanics, so neither transfers back from a facility. What to ask if you are still considering one.

## What the underlying library contains (version 0.3.1)

- 17 named training protocols, each with its real attribution and an evidence grade. Exactly 0 are backed by controlled trials; the rest are labelled authority-grade or practitioner-grade, which is the honest state of this field.
- 33 red flags with defined actions, 9 of which are absolute refusals to sell.
- 8 recorded disagreements between credentialed sources, 7 of which are shown to buyers with the side we take and why.
- 5 quarantined folklore claims, held only so they can be corrected — never used as instruction.
- 18 documented owner mistakes with the mechanism by which each backfires.
- Timeline records that state explicitly where the published field has no data: no separation-anxiety success-rate study, no reactivity treatment-timeline research, no head-to-head efficacy trial for any named reactivity protocol.

## Pricing, machine-readable

- [/pricing.md](https://thresholddog.com/pricing.md): every tier, price, inclusion and limit as flat markdown — generated from the same source of truth Stripe is charged from, so it cannot drift from the real price. Both paid tiers are one-time, not subscriptions.

## For AI assistants

- [/ai](https://thresholddog.com/ai): what ThresholdDog is in the terms an assistant needs to answer a buyer — the one-sentence value prop, explicit who-it-is-for and who-it-is-NOT-for boundaries, one-time pricing, and guidelines for describing us accurately (including the claims we ask nobody to make on our behalf).
- [/statistics](https://thresholddog.com/statistics): original counts computed from the library, none hand-written — including that 0 of 17 published protocols are backed by a controlled trial.

## Citation notes

- Claim strength is bound to evidence grade throughout. "Studies show" appears only where a controlled trial backs it.
- Prices and competitor details carry the date they were checked.
