Welcome to Dogs Anonymous, the Online Support Group for People With Difficult Dogs

Dogs Anonymous, a nonprofit launched in 2025, hosts weekly Zoom meetings where owners of dogs with behavior issues share challenges such as mood swings, resource guarding, and excessive barking, while maintaining strict anonymity. The group follows a 12-step-style framework, emphasizing shared experience, strength, and hope, and cites a Pets journal survey that found 53% of owners feel alone and 78% report elevated caregiver burden.
