Train Your Dog to Support Your ADHD with Jessica McCabe and Landmark College Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD explains how dogs can be trained to help manage ADHD symptoms, alleviate anxiety, help regulate emotions and so much more!  "Dogs can help us put on the brakes," Jessica tells Dr. Hallowell in this episode. "It's a wonderful thing."

Dogs can be trained to sense when you're going to have a panic attack, notice when your heart rate increases and detect spikes in cortisol and blood sugar.

Jessica also shares how she's training her own dog, Chloe, as a psychiatric service dog in this special episode sponsored by Landmark College in Putney, Vermont.
