My priority is supporting as many dogs and their people as possible. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. Reduced rates also available for approved rescue and return clients. This program focuses on building essential life skills and promoting calm, appropriate behavior in the home through clear, respectful communication. Designed for both dogs and puppies, it addresses behaviors such as jumping, begging, destructive habits, or general overstimulation. What sets this program apart is its strong foundation in canine communication—you’ll learn how to express expectations in a way your dog naturally understands, reducing confusion and promoting cooperation. Why the Assessment is Essential Before we begin any behavior coaching, I conduct a full in-person behavioral assessment. This allows me to understand your dog’s emotional state, movement, body language, and environment, and to identify any underlying factors influencing their behavior. Since this program is personalized, a full assessment ensures the approach we take is appropriate, effective, and considerate of your dog’s individual needs. Initial Behavioral Assessment (2.5–3 hrs) Conducted in a calm, neutral space at my home or training facility, this session offers valuable insight into your dog’s posture, stress levels, behavior history, and home life. You’ll receive immediate, practical guidance and a customized plan tailored to your concerns. Please Note: Assessments cannot be conducted in clients’ homes. In rare cases, exceptions may be made — please contact me directly to discuss.
