What behaviors can we address together?
Understanding and navigating common “dog things”
Maybe your dog greets visitors by jumping and mouthing them, barks at everything that passes by your home, forgets you exist when you’re on walks together, grabs food off the counters…
Cooperative care
Maybe your dog has concerns about their body being touched. They might benefit from muzzle training, and/or learning how to opt in to things like grooming, injections, harness wearing…
Aggressive and “reactive” behaviors
Maybe your dog uses their behavior to make things go away, by growling, lunging, barking, or biting. These behaviors may be directed at people, dogs, bikes, other pets in your home…
