Why consult a Dog Behaviourist?

A dog behaviourist is able to evaluate the various problems encountered with the dog, to better help the family understand their canine companion. They can suggest the best strategies for improving the relationship between pets and their owners.

Frequently asked questions

When should I seek a canine behavior consultation?

A consultation may be helpful when certain behaviors affect your dog’s well-being or their relationship with your family, or simply when you wish to better understand your companion and adopt appropriate strategies. 

What happens during a behavior consultation?

The behavior professional conducts an overall assessment of your dog and the challenges you are experiencing. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss problematic situations, and receive personalized recommendations. A written report outlining these recommendations may also be provided afterward. 

Do you offer training and guidance for puppies?

Yes. Puppy training classes for dogs under six months of age cover topics such as house training, biting and mouthing, basic commands, leash walking, and socialization. 

What about adolescent or adult dogs?

Behavioral interventions can help address barking, jumping, leash walking, recall, stay commands, and emotional regulation. 

Do you use positive training methods?

The goal is to help families better understand their dogs and implement gentle, effective strategies to strengthen the relationship between dogs and their owners.
