What behaviors can we address together?

Understanding and navigating common “dog things”

Maybe your dog greets visitors by jumping and mouthing them, barks at everything that passes by your home, forgets you exist when you’re on walks together, grabs food off the counters…

Cooperative care

Maybe your dog has concerns about their body being touched. They might benefit from muzzle training, and/or learning how to opt in to things like grooming, injections, harness wearing…

Aggressive and “reactive” behaviors

Maybe your dog uses their behavior to make things go away, by growling, lunging, barking, or biting. These behaviors may be directed at people, dogs, bikes, other pets in your home…

Dynamic Dog assessment


available in-person and virtually via Zoom

A Dynamic Dog assessment is a specialized consultation and evaluation process that can identify signs of pain/discomfort in your dog. Many dogs live with some degree of pain/discomfort, but signs go unnoticed or passed off as “quirks” or “just the way they are”. But we know that physical health and behavior health are inseparable. A Dynamic Dog assessment can help you get to the root of your dog’s behavior challenges and help them live the comfortable life they deserve.

Private Coaching


available in-person and virtually via Zoom

We’ll work together as a team to address your dog’s behavior and training needs. This starts with a consultation and thorough dive into your dog’s physical and emotional wellness. You’ll work directly with your pup to ensure these skills become part of your everyday life, and I’ll be there to coach you every step of the way.

Program includes

  • Initial 90-minute consultation to discuss household needs, introduction to basics and management strategies, and development of personalized training plan

    • If I suspect there is some underlying pain/discomfort that needs to be examined, I will request that we upgrade your consultation to a Dynamic Dog assessment. Humane training guidelines require that health and wellness are addressed before pursuing behavior modification.
