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

PLEASE NOTE: My books are currently closed for behavior consultations. Intake for new clients will re-open in mid-February for March 2025 bookings.
FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS
At the initial consultation, we'll discuss what training going forward looks like and options for follow-up sessions. I'll make a realistic recommendation based on your goals. 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.
