Help for Challenging Behaviors
EXPERT HELP THAT WORKS FOR YOU
For almost 25 years, I have helped dogs and their humans with challenging behaviors. From Chihuahuas to Wolfdogs, from mild fear to severe aggression,
I can help.
​​
My behavior plans are always tailored to you and your dog and are focused on achieving your goals. A plan that is not practical for you is worthless, which is why I take a collaborative approach to make sure that my recommendations work for you.
​
I have extensive experience with remote coaching for aggression, reactivity, and other challenging behaviors.
​​​
BEHAVIOR SERVICES
My behavior program develops custom strategies specific to you and your dog so you can work through problem situations, rather than just avoid them. Instead of being reactive to your dog's behavior, you will learn how to be proactive and set them up for success.
​
This is a multi-stage process that takes you all the way to practicing in real-life situations at home, on walks, or wherever you need the most help.
​​
STAGE 1: ASSESSMENT
Gather the details of your dog's health, routines, training, and behavior to identify patterns and create a practical and custom plan that meets your needs.
​​​
STAGE 2: MITIGATION
Practical strategies to manage your dog's behavior until training can take effect to make your life easier and prevent behavior from getting worse.
​​
STAGE 3: TRAINING
Teach you and your dog new skills that are related to the problem and the situations in which it occurs.
​​​
STAGE 4: IMPLEMENTATION
Practice behavior plan in controlled and then real life settings until you are comfortable and confident that you can continue on your own.
​​
What to expect. My most successful clients are those who train with their dog every day and make use of the additional virtual and phone support. Most of your training practice at home will be short sessions - 15 minutes or less. Other exercises can be integrated into your normal routine with your dog.
​​​
PRICING
The behavior assessment (first appointment) is remote, with additional sessions at your home or other location. Each session is 60-90 minutes scheduled 1-2 weeks apart, with virtual or phone support scheduled in between.
