CREATE A FULL LIFE WITH YOUR DOG
Why We Started Life Unleashed New Orleans
The last thing anyone imagines when they get a pup is that life will get smaller, stressful and chaotic.
While Bridget’s first dog Oliver over 30 years ago was a “unicorn” her false sense of training ease was shattered with her door dashing Irish Setter Murphy and reactive Lab-Am Staff Charlie.
Shelby’s dog Samson left her at a loss after a bite. Searching for solutions for both of us led to a love of learning about and understanding dogs and seeing life open up as their families learned how to live better with them.
We want to help dog families like ours and yours find the fun in life with their dogs.
