Training Services
About Training
I offer private in–person and virtual behaviour consultations, specializing in leash reactivity, leash pulling, prey drive, barking issues, fearfulness, and hyperarousal. My focus is on helping your dog learn to regulate their emotions, both at home and out in the world.
I also specialize in both puppies and new rescues. When integrating a new dog of any age into your household, establishing two–way communication and building a relationship of mutual understanding will pave the way to long–term success.
How It Works
Initial consultation: In this session, we will discuss your dog's behaviour, history, health, previous learning experiences, and living environment. I will identify root causes for challenging behaviours and make initial recommendations for addressing these issues holistically. We will then determine a plan for success in the short– and long–term.
Follow-up session: After reviewing your case for 1–2 weeks, I will develop a comprehensive behaviour plan for your dog, involving training, lifestyle, enrichment, stress factors, and other important considerations. We will discuss how to implement this behaviour plan, and how to deal with potential roadblocks along the way.
Exposure sessions: For reactive dogs, exposure sessions allow you to expose your dog to their triggers in a controlled way, helping them to learn to feel safe and achieve behaviour change. Each exposure session will look different depending on your dog's individual needs.
