“I’m now making progress I wasn’t making on my own and have seen a difference in how I approach behavior shaping, building behaviors from the ground up in ways I hadn’t thought of before. DBI’s specific background in Behavior Analysis, applied through the lens of dog training, brings an important perspective to aspects that sometimes get lost in translation.”

—Andrea Viveiros, professional dog trainer

  • "Your communication, in terms of how you each speak and listen and address questions is so concise and so inclusive. It’s understandable for the lay person who isn’t a scientist. We get the benefit of all of that expertise and education without having to do the PhD ourselves."

    — Isabel Fine

  • “I wanted help to build something that was helpful for both me and my dog and other guardians as well, and the personalized feedback I received was invaluable. Everyone in class got personalized attention and guidance, which was different than any group class setting I’ve ever been a part of. There was such a sense of camaraderie and community, while still meeting each person’s unique needs. I cannot recommend working with DBI enough. Their approach to behavior change and analysis is unlike anything I’ve seen in the dog training sphere before.”

    —Andrea Viveiros

  • “Ran is so great at finding ways to demonstrate behaviors, even without a demo dog. I’m always looking for sticky ways to communicate behavior, and Ran did that incredibly well. They always met each dog where they were, modifying in the moment to account for a wide range of energy levels. The end of class was so positive every time that it was my favorite part, even though I was sad the session was over.”

    —Kristin Lucey

  • “As a dog trainer, I’d already done some thinking about how to prepare my dog for our first baby, but taking the Growing Families course together as a couple and having an outside set of eyes was so helpful. Ran helped us think of things we hadn’t considered and also helped us let go of things we thought we should do, but didn’t really need to. The whole experience was SO stress-relieving and the last piece of the puzzle we needed before bringing a new baby into our lives. Even if you think you thought of everything, you may not have. Having a good plan for the little things has made all the difference.”

We empower individuals to improve their quality of life and restore joy to their relationships with their dogs using the science of behavior. By helping people understand and confidently respond to their dog’s behavior, we restore hope, unlock joy, and strengthen bonds.

We also support professionals in incorporating evidence-based, data-oriented practices into their work with dogs and their families. 

We are proud to be a woman- and queer-owned business. We work with dogs and their humans on a wide range of behaviors, from establishing the skills that facilitate harmonious relationships to improving challenging behaviors like aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and more.
