During a behavioral consultation, I take the time to understand both your dog and your concerns. The process usually includes:
Pre-Consultation Survey – Before we meet, you’ll complete a short survey about your dog’s history, routine, and behavior. This helps me prepare in advance and ensures we make the most of our time together.
Initial Conversation – We start by discussing your dog’s daily life, specific challenges, and any important details about their health, environment, and lifestyle.
Observation – I observe your dog’s behavior in a natural setting to see how they react, communicate, and cope with different situations.
Assessment & Explanation – Based on what I learn, I explain what may be driving your dog’s behavior, always focusing on their emotions and well-being.
Personalized Plan – Together we create a step-by-step plan using only positive, force-free methods, tailored to your dog’s unique needs and your household.
Practical Guidance – I demonstrate exercises or strategies and coach you on how to practice them effectively at home.
Follow-Up Support – After the consultation, I remain available for check-ins, adjustments, and ongoing guidance so you’re never left on your own.

Safe & Comfortable Outing – I ensure your dog is properly harnessed/collared and walked in a safe, familiar environment.
Exercise & Enjoyment – Depending on your dog’s personality, this can include relaxed sniffing walks, a bit of play, or a brisker pace for higher-energy dogs.
Enrichment & Companionship – Walks are not just exercise but also mental stimulation, with time for sniffing, exploring, and enjoying the world.
