Using force-free methods based in science, I can help you and your dog address troublesome behavior like separation anxiety,
fear, reactivity, aggression towards people
or other dogs, or resource guarding;
through the use of behavior modification.

Behavior modification is a training approach to change the undesirable behavior your dog displays by using management to prevent the rehearsal of the behavior; training to teach a new/alternative behavior; and counter conditioning to change your dog’s underlying emotions and reason they are displaying the behavior. Behavior modification plans are specific to each dog.  

What to Expect

Click below to schedule an initial consultation or to ask questions!

Once an initial consultation is scheduled, I will send you a link to confirm your appointment, complete some intake forms, and pay a deposit. During that initial appointment we will go over a thorough history; talk about all of your concerns and goals; then establish a training, management, and enrichment plan. You will receive a written training plan, notes, and relevant hand-outs via email after that initial session. You’ll be given some homework - training as well as other supplementary activities to help your dog’s behavior. Expect your initial session to be about an hour and a half. They can be done in-person or virtually. You can ask questions and reach out with follow up concerns for two weeks after your session (or until your next appointment, if you schedule further follow up appointments).

Follow up sessions can be held virtually or in-person. During follow up sessions, we will review what you’ve been working on and any progress made, address any new questions or issues, add a new skill or skills to practice, and go forward from there.
