Private Dog Training
and Behavior Consulting
Do any of the following resonate with you?
You feel like your dog's behaviors are unpredictable or like you are on a roller coaster of emotion. You avoid people when out and about or hesitate to have friends over to your home. Are worried that your dog is beyond help and feel you have tried everything.
You have come to the right place! I have specialized in supporting families and their companions with anxiety, fear, aggression, and phobias and am here to help you every step of the way. Below are examples of the types of cases I regularly work with.
- Fearful or aggressive behaviors towards people
- Generalized fear or anxiety of the environment or specific objects or sounds
- Handling sensitivity (touch, grooming, nail care, vet visits)
- Dog-dog aggression in and outside the home
- Resource guarding towards people or other animals (requesting space from items, places, or people)

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't you need to see my dog's fearful or aggressive behavior to help?
No! In fact, our goal is to not put your dog in a situation where they feel the need to display these behaviors. As formally education behavior consultants with extensive hands-on experience we know all to well what it looks like and how to help!
Why do you do online consults for our fearful reactive Dogs?
Most of our initial first session is focused on digging into the details of your dog's history, explaining the motivation behind their behaviors, how they learn, and how to put our evidence-based guidance to work with them positively to bring you relief asap and achieve your goals. Having this foundation set, allows our first greeting to go much smoother!
How long will it take to change my dog's behaviors?
Many variables affect training length. We are dedicated to humane science-based methods that are both efficient and effective. Estimates given are based on the dog's prior learning history, how long the problem behavior has been occurring, genetics and client skill, diligence, availability and management. We cannot guarantee that behavior modification for your dog can be completed in the time frame of the package you invest in.
Will you come to my home?
We see a limited number of clients for in-home sessions. In-home sessions are reserved by trainer approval based on location and case types. Such cases for approval include but are not limited to dogs with car phobia that we are working on together, extreme fear of novelty including new environments, and intra-home dog-dog cases.
If you would like to be considered for an in-home session, email us BEFORE booking. You will be subject to transaction fees for refund requests. [email protected]
