I believe every dog deserves the chance to feel safe, supported, and understood — and my priority is helping as many dogs and their people as possible. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we can explore pricing options together. Reduced rates are also available for approved rescue and return clients. Please contact me directly before booking. This package is designed specifically for newly adopted or fostered rescue dogs and the humans supporting them. It combines a comprehensive in-person behavioral assessment with two virtual coaching sessions to help you understand, support, and set your dog up for long-term emotional stability. This is a key area of my professional focus. I specialize in supporting rescue dogs through the critical decompression phase and have extensive experience guiding fosters and adopters through the early stages of integration. Initial Behavioral Assessment (2.5–3 hrs) Conducted in a calm, neutral environment at my home or training facility, this in-depth session allows me to observe your dog without pressure and gather insight into their background, current environment, routines, and emotional state. You’ll receive immediate, actionable guidance and a customized coaching plan tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Please Note: Assessments cannot be conducted in clients’ homes. In select rescue cases, an exception may be made if discussed and approved prior to booking. Please contact me directly if you feel your situation may require this consideration. Virtual Follow-Up Coaching (2 x 45–60 min) The two virtual sessions provide continued support as your dog adjusts to their new environment. We’ll address decompression strategies, communication, routine-building, and any emerging behavior concerns. Includes: • 2.5 to 3 hour in-person behavioral assessment • Two 45–60 minute virtual coaching sessions • Customized coaching plan with applicable resources, reading materials, and instructional videos • WhatsApp or email support between sessions, as needed* *The amount of between-session support and follow-up materials will be discussed and agreed upon prior to starting the package.
