Introduction: I am a certified Canine Behavior Counselor with 20 yrs of experience. I assess your dog in your individual home, so that I can see any potential issues, then teach you the best and fastest way to address the issues that you feel are most pressing. I use positive reinforcement training methodology (clicker training), and you will be taught ways to teach appropriate behavior, while getting rid of the stuff you don't like... it's really the easiest, least stress-causing way to teach anyone -- human or animal! These methods can be used to teach manners, reduce or even stop aggression, teach pets to accept new family members, stop chewing, marking, teach housetraining, reduce barking and growling behaviors, teach appropriate behavior at the door… anything is possible, without causing the fallout associated with aversive methods! You can do this; I can help. It's easy: I'll teach you! Your dog is a companion animal, and my goal is to help you and your dog achieve this... using the most innovative and stress-free ways possible. Clicker training allows you and your dog to become friends again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There are several ways to work with a new client, including in-person, telephone, and email. I prefer the initial assessment be done in-person. In-person Basic training is $40 per hour; there is a $10 reduction for 6 sessions for dogs that are adopted from a rescue group or shelter. Email and telephone are done at half the basic rate. Aggression rates are $65 per hour, with no reduction in rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I assess the dog/environment, as well as behavioral, nutritional, and medical background. Then, with the owner's input, I'll design and implement training designed to both teach appropriate behavior and reduce the unwanted ones. There are several ways to work with a new client, including in-person, telephone, and email.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated with my degree in Canine Behavior Counseling, specializing in aggression and rescue work. I served for 5+ years as the Assistant to the Executive Director of the BOD of an online college for those specializing in animal behavior, and worked for many years in St.Bernard Rescue in 5 States.
