Initial Behavior Consultation

Providing clarity and guidance to relieve immediate stress and find solutions!

  • The best first step for moderate to severe aggression, fear or anxiety. We’ll discuss the underlying causes of the behaviors, Safety and Management Plans, and the best steps for moving forward with Behavior Change/Training.

  • You can skip the Consultation if know you want to work with me and are ready to start a multi-session Behavior Change/Training Plan. The first session will be online so we can still discuss all the essential details including your dog’s history, your observations and more.

  • Longer Sessions

    Plenty of time for your questions & in-depth discussions about your dog’s specific situation. Consults run up to 2 hours & cover A LOT of information!

  • Details

    Your dog’s history & preferences, your observations, lifestyle, goals & limitations all matter to determine what is possible.

Dog behavior is complicated!

Even the most common behavior concerns can be tricky to resolve, and modifying behavior associated with fear, anxiety or aggression is even more complex! Every dog is a unique individual, and because dog behavior is greatly influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, environment and learned behavior, there is not a “one size fits all” approach that is effective for every dog.

Consultations are $250 and best conducted remotely via Zoom, or possibly in-person on an individual basis. The recommended format will depend on your location and the behaviors your dog is exhibiting. For example, meeting virtually may be a better fit for a dog who is fearful or has difficulty with guests visiting. Or, meeting in-person may be a better fit if you have already tried online training and didn’t love it, or if you have a fairly effective training plan in place but would like professional feedback and recommendations. A Consultation is also the best way to get to know me, ask questions and make sure a training package is the best next step for your dog and family.

Following the Consultation you can continue with as few or as many follow-up sessions as needed (including individual sessions).
