Some Things We Can Work on Together:
Some Things That Are Not a Good Fit:
- Puppy training
- Basic skills (go to place, come, etc.)
- Leash reactivity
- Addressing unwanted behaviors like jumping, pulling on leash, etc.
- Advanced skills (leave it, stay, working in distractions)
- Prepping for a baby's arrival
- Getting a new dog adjusted to the resident dog
- Separation distress
- Overcoming mild fears & anxieties
- Building your dog's confidence
- Advice on how to pick the right dog for you
- Creating a detailed Enrichment Plan for your dog
- Intense separation anxiety
- Severe fears/phobias
- Severe bite incidents
If you are facing true separation anxiety issues with your dog, I recommend a trainer who specializes in that specific area (like a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer).
If your dog is a bite risk, has bitten already, has aggression issues, or has severe fears/phobias I highly recommend working with a board-certified veterinary behaviorist.
