My goal is to help as many dogs as possible. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. Reduced rates also available for approved rescue and return clients. This program is designed for dogs and puppies who struggle with specific outdoor behaviors beyond leash pulling. It’s ideal for dogs who lunge at wildlife, react to people or dogs, engage in unsafe chasing behavior (prey drive), or show impolite, overstimulated behavior in outdoor environments. Unlike my leash walking package, this program takes a broader look at behavior during outdoor time. The structure and session focus may be adjusted based on our initial free phone consultation to better match your dog’s specific needs. Why the Assessment is Required Every dog is different, and behavior seen outdoors often reflects deeper emotional states, unmet needs, or contextual triggers. The in-person assessment allows me to observe your dog’s posture, communication, and behavior, and to understand the full picture before designing an appropriate, ethical support plan. Initial Behavioral Assessment (2.5–3 hrs) Held at my home or training facility, this foundational session helps us identify your dog’s emotional state, arousal patterns, and specific outdoor challenges. You’ll receive immediate guidance and a customized plan tailored to your concerns and your dog’s unique profile. Please Note: Assessments cannot be conducted in clients’ homes. In rare cases, exceptions may be made — please contact me directly to discuss.
