  • "Place" and settle—calm relaxation when neighbors visit, during remote work calls, or when children play in adjoining yards.

  • Quiet composure—no barking at delivery personnel, neighbors passing by, or wildlife crossing your property.
  • Guest-ready greetings—four-paws-down welcomes for visitors, no jumping on elegantly dressed neighbors or children.
