Maybe life with your dog isn’t what you expected or you’re seeing behaviors that have you concerned. Every dog and family is different, even when the behaviors might look similar.

We use the science of behavior to figure out why your dog's behaviors are happening. Then we design a customized, holistic treatment plan to fit your dog and your life together.

We support families whose dogs are:

  • Lunging and barking on walks.

  • Growling at, snapping at, or biting people.

  • Having conflicts with other dogs.

  • Showing signs of anxiety.

  • Struggling with handling or veterinary care.

  • … and more! If you’re not sure, please reach out.

For a successful experience, guardians should be prepared to collaborate with us! We know it’s been a hard road for you to have arrived here, and we are here to support you.

During this process, we ask our clients to:

  • collect data (which we will customize for you!);

  • submit videos (we’ll tell you what to send);

  • meet with us at least weekly (we’ll figure out the schedule together);

  • ask questions when they have them;

  • and practice training as indicated between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Both of these programs are appropriate for any family that is dealing with challenging behavior. We know that it can be expensive and time consuming to address your dog’s challenging behaviors. This is why we start with an assessment - so that we can be confident in what is contributing to your dog’s challenges and that our recommendations will address your needs and lead to efficient and effective training programs. As a result, you can be confident that your training and management are appropriate.

  • We start with a (free!) 30-minute intake call to learn more about your needs and determine which program is right for you, or if there is another package that would be a better fit for your needs. Of course, it’s also a time for you to ask us your questions. After the call, we’ll send you a follow up email with our recommendations, including which of these programs we suggest for you. If you’d like to move forward, we’ll send you a contract and invoice that you can complete digitally, and then we’ll schedule your sessions. We typically meet weekly, and sometimes twice a week, depending on the behavior and schedules.

  • For many of the families that complete these programs, there are ongoing training recommendations. We collaborate with you to prioritize goals to work on during our sessions together. Following the completion of your program, you may choose to continue to work with your dog independently; or you might benefit from support through our ongoing Behavior Support Program. You might also choose to work on their own and reach out again when you are ready for next steps. Nearly everyone still has work to do following their program, but they have a clearly defined path to follow.
