Behavior Consulting
Confused, concerned, or curious about your dog’s behavior? You’re in the right place! Maybe you’ve recently adopted a dog that needs help settling into their new home, or maybe you’re seeing changes in a dog that’s been in your family for years and not sure what your next step should be.
I have experience with multiple breeds, backgrounds, and behaviors: New puppies, senior dogs, recent adoptions, resource guarders, leash pullers, and reactive dogs to name a few.
My approach goes beyond traditional obedience based dog training and focuses on their whole environment: home life & daily routine, background (breed, where they came from, medical history, etc), health & wellness, exercise and enrichment, favorite toys, and everything in between. My methods are strictly free of intentional force and punishment.
Dog training and Behavior Consulting can be expensive and I’ve put together service options for every budget, such as virtual consulting and pay what you can.
Payment plan options are now available for in-person training using Square Afterpay. More details are in the pricing section
Behavior Consulting Packages
What’s included?
In-Depth Behavior Consultation
This is a two hour virtual consultation where we take a deep look at all the aspects of your dog’s life that could be affecting their behavior, answer your questions, discuss your goals, and schedule our in-person appointments. You’ll also receive a personalized training & behavior outline. ( $250 value)
In-Person Sessions
60 minute sessions where I’ll walk you through the steps to change and reinforce your dog’s behavior. We’ll meet at your home or other public space. ($125 value)
Virtual Coaching Calls
30 minute virtual calls so the humans can chat without the dog there to distract us. Up to 2 per week while we work through your training package. ($50 value)
All virtual appointments include a recording, transcript, and meeting notes.
Training Kit
Treat bag, sample pack of high value reinforcement (treats!), and training clickers ($35 value)
Unlimited Moral Support
TV & Social Media personalities have created unrealistic and unhealthy expectations of what living with a dog is supposed to look like. If you need to vent, or remind you it’s ok for your dogs to sleep in your bed, I’m here for you. (Priceless)
