Dog Behavior
My dog behavior services are designed to address behavior concerns that go beyond basic "manners" training for dogs of any age. Resource guarding, leash reactivity to other dogs and/or people, fearful behavior, and adjusting to a new household member (human or pet) are a few examples of the types of issues I can help you understand and modify. My behavior modification plans and training take into account your unique circumstances and your dog's individuality.
Behavior Consultation
We start with an initial behavior consultation in your home (in-person or by video call) that lasts about an hour.
​
During the consultation, we will talk more about the challenges you are experiencing with your dog. We will review your dog's medical and behavioral history, his/her daily routine and yours, and discuss your concerns and goals. This also gives me the opportunity to meet your dog and assess the environment. We may go over some things you can do immediately to improve the situation.
​
All initial behavior consultations include a written report that summarizes:
-
my observations and assessment
-
recommendations for managing and/or resolving your dog's challenging behaviors
-
opportunities for environmental modifications and enrichment
-
additional resources as applicable

Behavior Modification Packages
I will recommend the number of sessions and frequency for meeting based on our discussion of your concerns and goals, other information you share and observations I make during the Initial Behavior Consultation.
Packages include:
-
The indicated number of 30-40-minute sessions. Ideally, sessions occur weekly, at a minimum.​
-
Email, text, and video feedback support between sessions

Resources to support your goals (e.g., training journal, demonstration videos, digital or printed informational handouts, online resources, etc.)
-
Specific time frame during which sessions should be completed
