In-Home Behavioral Intervention
Our in-home consultations provide a comprehensive assessment of your dog’s behavior in their natural environment. During the visit, we’ll observe your dog’s interactions with family members, identify triggers for behaviors, and develop a tailored behavior intervention plan that aligns with your family’s values and resources.
Virtual Behavioral Interventions
For families outside our service area, we offer online consultations and virtual training sessions. Through video calls, we’ll discuss your dog’s specific behavioral issues, assess their needs, and develop a personalized training plan that you can implement at home.
Safety Services for Pet Professionals and Facilities
We offer safety courses tailored to educate pet professionals and facility staff on recognizing and managing fearful and aggressive behaviors in dogs within your establishment. These courses encompass topics such as identifying early warning signs, interpreting dog body language, utilizing defensive handling techniques, and applying effective management strategies to safeguard both staff and dogs.
