A Calmer Way to Work and Live

The dogs already know how.
Now you can too.

You’re The One Who Holds It All Together

But who is holding you?

You don’t fall apart under pressure. You adapt. You take on more, think faster, and step up because that’s what you do. Whether you are a dedicated dog care professional or a loving dog parent, you are the anchor for everyone else.

But lately, responsibility has turned into weight. You’ve stopped showing up as yourself and started managing different versions of “you” just to get through the day.

The Issues Are Showing Up Everywhere.

At Work


Whether you are in the office or working with the dogs, being the ‘expert’ is exhausting when you’re the one everyone relies on for answers.  

At Home


You give your best to your clients and colleagues, leaving your family with the “tired remains” of your day. 


With Your Dog


Your own dog barks, lunges, hides or shuts down, and you can’t quite put your finger on how to restore solve the problem.

With Yourself


Self care? You know it matters. But consistency feels out of reach when you’re stuck in reactive mode. Even taking time for a walk feels hard.

Your dog mirrors the energy you haven’t had time to address.

Stress travels straight down the leash, turning your internal stress into their external reaction. To find the peace you both need, you must restore the calm conduit for communication by understanding why and how your dog reacts to your energy. When you clear the energetic noise on the leash, the noise in all areas of your life begins to quiet too. Calm-first communication is about finding a sense of ease that follows you everywhere. I help you see where communication breaks down in real time.

Because not all dogs respond the same way.

Some dogs lean in.
Some pull away.
Some try to take control.

To lead them, you have to understand exactly how they see the world.

Your Next Step: Discover Their BARKType™

Your dog is following the communication you silently share every minute – through your pace, your energy, and how you move through stress. When that energy shifts, so does your dog.

In just a couple of minutes, you’ll see:

  • What’s actually driving your dog’s behavior
  • How they respond under pressure
  • And what they need from you to feel calm and secure

BARKType is the source code of your dog’s psychology and how they behave. When you understand their profile, you move from reacting to leading.

No more “What the BARK?!” moments – just steady decisions and a partnership built on trust.

What people say…

With a love for animals and business, these are some of the paws up! things people are saying. 

  • I Doubled My Income and Tripled My Time Off

    I’ve worked with Stephanie for several years and she has helped me not just with my business but also with my relationships and even helped me stop my dog from barking so much. She will forever be one of the most important mentors I’ve ever had.

  • Business and My Dog Is On Track

    Stephanie has helped me find purpose, confidence and focus for my business and my life.  As a business owner dealing with being a family caregiver, mom and dog lover, I need all the support I can get!  She helps me be better at life, with my dogs and family.  Oh, and my business has tripled!

  • Business Grew and Stress Caved In

    When I contacted Stephanie, my business and my life were running on empty. She gave me the support and guidance I needed to reach the million dollar mark and beyond. Along the way, I learned more about leadership, health and even my dog behavior (she could hear them in the background during our calls). Thanks to her my business runs without me while I am able to finally take vacations and reconnect with my family.

  • Jack Is No Longer Afraid of Everything

    Stephanie and I have worked together in the human behavior and performance field for over 20 years.  She is an empathetic, compassionate, loyal, confidante and advisor particularly when our dog Jack was having medical issues.  Her advice was insightful and empathetic, which helped Jack recover quickly while relieving our anxiety.

  • Life Changing!

    Yall! I CANNOT recommend this ENOUGH!!! I have been working with Stephanie and she has literally changed my life!! This year I am now finally going to be paid what I am worth. Let’s just say my rate went up and people do not hesitate to pay it!! I cannot believe what I have missed over the years.

  • My Horse And I Are Now A Team

    I had no idea when I started working with Stephanie to help me understand my horse that I’d get my own lessons in confidence and leadership. Her intuition mixed with her savvy understanding of human and animal psychology opened up a whole new world for both of us. She taught us both how to manage our energy to build a stronger relationship. And I’ve been able to transfer what I learned from her to keep a level head in my business too. Win win!

  • I Saved Over $1000 in Vet Bills

    Steph has been a guiding light for me on and off for 15 years. She’s helped me through some of my toughest moments and greatest professional challenges. Recently, I was having some issues with my dogs and their little tummies. The vet failed them entirely. That’s after $1,000 in tests and medications. Steph told me exactly what to do and my pups have never been happier. The fix was far simpler than I expected, too. I’m so grateful for her help. Now and always.

  • Completely changed my dog (and me!)

    I’ve worked with Stephanie to understand my skittish dog’s anxiety. She helped me with a new diet, showed me how to walk him confidently and most importantly of all – control the barking that has my neighbors very upset.

    Once I started understanding how I was contributing to his timid behavior, it helped me become more assertive with other people and with myself. I can now say “NO” and mean it without worrying about what people say.

    RETIRED

Hi, I’m Stephanie Frank.

Former white-hat hacker, 8-figure founder, 4x Int’l Best Selling Author, Dog Mom and dog behavior expert. I spent decades decoding computer code before I realized the most important “code” is the one between us and our animals.

I created the BARKType™ Behavioral System because behavior follows the same rules across species. Whether it’s a “What the BARK?!” moment in your business, your family or with your dog, I’m here to translate. I help dog care professionals and pet parents move past “fixing” and into leading with calm.

I’ve spent decades in dog training, pet sitting and entrepreneurial coaching for people in service businesses, helping them reach their personal, financial and business goals. Today I run Happy Pupcakes which celebrates dogs and the people who love them through our store and coaching programs.

And I start with the dog. Because dogs don’t lie. 🤭
