Many behaviors plans can be set-up without an in-person session. Types of behaviors that may require an in-person session include aggressive behaviors that need to be evaluated for safety or other reasons.

During your free ‘meet-and-greet’ phone call, we will be able to decide which option may be best for you.

How appointments work-

1- Free 15-minute ‘meet-and-greet’ phone call.

This is your opportunity to talk briefly about your pet’s behavior and how I can help you.

If you are a lawyer, you can briefly desribe the details of your case. The following steps 2,3,4 will not apply.

2- Fill out forms-

3- Initial consultation.

Regardless of in-person or virtual option, all services start with an initial consultation.

During our 90-minute initial consultation, we will discuss your pet’s behavior/s and why it’s happening. You will be given full detailed instructions of the tools and techniques to use so you can manage and modify your pet’s behavior, along with handouts to follow.

You will receive a write-up of your management, behavior and training plan within one week.

This session is a hands-on appointment to work on recommended training exercises for your unique behavior modification plan.

You will receive a write-up from your follow-up session within one week.

In-person sessions, ‘Board-and-Train’ = I train the dog-

This option is for people who want to see results with their dog or cat, but don’t have the time, capacity, capabilty or whatever the reason. This is designed to be a board-and-train alternative which helps with the biggest pitfall of boarding your dog, generalization. Your dog does great in class and then forgets everything once it’s home= dog doesn’t generalize behaviors. This solves that problem by working in the dog’s own environment with the actual triggers or environmental factors that create or exasterbate your pet’s behavior.

For any board-and-train style program to be successful, your dog should work with the trainer 2-5 times per week. Only available in 60-minute follow-up sessions. All services start with a 90-minute initial consultation that you have to be present for.

Packages for first week-

Puppies

This is designed for puppies up 4 months old.

Isn’t my puppy too young for training and exposure to the environment without all it’s vaccines?

“In general, puppies can start puppy socialization classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Puppies should receive a minimum of one set of vaccines at least 7 days prior to the first class and a first deworming. They should be kept up-to-date on vaccines throughout the class.” - AVSAB position statement on puppy socialization, for the entire position statement, click-

American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior Puppy Socialization Position Statement

Did you know that your puppy is in their socialization stage until they are about 16-weeks old? What this means is that your puppy’s brain is maleable and we can identify and solve issues such as fear or dislike of grooming before they become lifetime problems. This package is designed to have weekly sessions-

- One in-person session so we can discuss things like potty training, biting, grooming, etc.

AND

- One out-of-the-house session for socialization where I take your puppy to an area to encounter new things and set your puppy up for success for life. I can identify fearful behaviors, possible triggers, and then work on behavior modification training if needed. You can be present for this session, or not.

Expert Witness for Legal Cases

I have been studying legal cases in forensic animal behavior with my University of Washington college professor, Dr. James Ha PhD, privately for the last 6 years. I have done several case studies, focusing in particular on dog bites, cat behavior and how animal behavior in general can apply to legal cases involving dog and cats.
