BEHAVIOR CONSULTS
Fear â—† Anxiety â—† Reactivity â—† Aggression
BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS
Cowering, hiding, trembling, barking, growling, lunging, snapping, biting. It breaks my heart just to type these words. How stressful it must be for your dog – and you – to be struggling with these behaviors. Please know that there is hope.
Help for your dog's fearful, anxious, reactive, or aggressive behaviors begins with a remote video consultation (in-person options after). We will discuss in detail your dog's behavior, your goals, my assessment and prognosis, and "homework" you can start right away. Examples of behavior concerns I can help with include:
-
Barking and lunging at dogs on walks
-
Barking and lunging at people on walks
-
Barking, growling, snapping, or biting visitors in the home
-
Growling, snapping, or biting over food, toys, or other resources

Growling, snapping, or biting during handling, grooming, or veterinary visits

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently booking behavior consultations for new clients for April.
FOLLOW-UP TRAINING SESSIONS
At the initial behavior consultation, we'll discuss what training going forward looks like and my suggestion for follow-up training sessions. I'll make a realistic recommendation based on your goals. I usually suggest having your first training session within 10 days of the consultation.
​
Training sessions may be in-person at my home (located in 60646), in-person at your home, or remote via Zoom. For some behaviors, I might suggest in-person sessions immediately. For others, I might suggest remote sessions until we reach a certain point in the training.
​​
In addition to these training sessions where I coach you, I offer on a case-by-case basis Behavior Board & Train programs for hands-on training with just your dog. A Behavior Board & Train program may or may not be offered to you.
