Separation Anxiety
Inappropriate Elimination
Fear and Phobia
Aggression
Resource GuardingI provide a written plan and continued follow-up care. I can work with your current veterinarian and/or trainer to help build a team of support. I can also serve as a legal expert witness if needed. I have worked with media newscasters and enjoy offering information to the public through various platforms. Please reach out to me at [email protected]
I help families resolve separation anxiety and other forms of fear and phobias. I also help to uncover the reasons behind inappropriate elimination and help families resolve this issue in as stress-free of a way as possible.
I offer a pre-selection consultation where we discuss what type of animal, breed, gender, etc. of pet that will fit within the lifestyle of your family prior to adding a pet to your life. This helps to manage expectations and allow a nicer transition for both pet and family.
I offer puppy progress exams where we discuss the basics of training and behavior with my Structured Interactive Training (SIT) technique. This is an effective way to make training fun and positive while increasing the bond between you and your pet.
I am fear-free certified and believe that we can manage and resolve behavioral problems with positive reinforcement; no yelling, hitting or any form of physical punishment.
