Behaviour Consultations

When behaviour concerns arise, an initial consultation is the starting point for gaining clarity and understanding the bigger picture. By looking at all the factors involved, we can identify the most effective pathway forward for both you and your dog.

During the consultation, we explore all aspects of what is happening, including your dog’s needs, your family’s goals, safety considerations, the environment, and your dog’s current skills. Together, we assess the situation, discuss realistic outcomes and available options, and create a plan designed to provide relief, build confidence, and help you move forward successfully.

Follow-Up Training Sessions – $150
