My services are for families seeking a deeper understanding of their dog’s behavior and who want to approach the process with thoughtfulness and compassion. I especially love working with sensitive and fearful dogs, and in helping humans communicate with and understand their dogs with more clarity and empathy. In times like these, when stress and anxiety is high, our dogs need supportive guidance as much as we need help understanding and caring for them. No matter what any of us have learned in the past about dogs, we all benefit from looking at each dog with fresh eyes. This is a collaborative process, one where I work alongside you and your dog to make meaningful, lasting changes. 

Initial Session (2 hours) – $275 ($250 on Zoom)

In the initial session we will:

• Discuss your dog’s history, behavior, routines, as well as your goals and expectations. This will allow me to create a tailored plan specific to your situation.
• Explore key aspects of canine communication, learning and behavior, providing you with clearer insights into what’s at the root of/contributing to your dog’s behavior, and how you can anticipate problems and respond more skillfully in various situations.
• Identify some practical adjustments you can put into place right away to help minimize unhealthy, unsafe or other problematic behaviors.
• Discuss next steps and remaining questions.

Follow-Up Sessions (1 hour)

• Single Session: $150 (Zoom: $125)
  
• Prepaid 4-Pack: $550 (Zoom: $525)

In each session, we will strategize, troubleshoot, and practice skills together with your dog. 

On-going email or text support will be available between sessions. 

Resources to reinforce and supplement our sessions will be provided throughout. I highly recommend takig advatage of these as much as possible.

How many sessions will you need?
The number of sessions depends on factors like the behavior issue’s severity, your dog’s background and health, your environment, your ability to follow through, and other conditions. 

Note: For dogs with moderate to high levels stress, fear, or aggression around visitors, the first session will be over Zoom. In-person follow-ups will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

I accept checks or Zelle; credit cards will be charged a processing fee.
