BEHAVIOR CONSULTS
Fear ◆ Anxiety ◆ Reactivity ◆ Aggression
BEHAVIOR CONSULTATION
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 history, your goals, my assessment and prognosis, and "homework" you can start right away. Examples of behavior concerns I can help with include:
-
Barking or lunging on walks
-
Snapping or biting people
-
Hiding or avoiding people
-
Growling or biting over food or toys
-
Possessive about beds or couches
-
Uncomfortable being touched
-
Barking or growling at visitors
-
Settling in a fearful rescue dog
-
Aggression toward other dogs
-
Hesitating to get in the car
-
General fear or anxiety in daily life
-
Sensitivity to certain sounds

PLEASE NOTE: I am not booking new clients for behavior consultations at this time. Intake for new clients will re-open in February 2025.
FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS
At the initial consultation, we'll discuss my training recommendations and agree on a plan for follow-up training sessions. I'll make a realistic recommendation based on our discussion. I usually suggest scheduling your first follow-up session within 2 weeks of the consultation.
Follow-up sessions may be in-person at my home (located in 60646), in-person at your home, or remote via Zoom. For some behaviors, I may suggest remote sessions until we reach a certain point in the training.
