Struggling to work from home because you’re unsure when Rover will start barking?
Is every little noise or movement outside enough to put him on high alert?
Does he react with growling, barking, or seeking shelter at the sight of anything outside the window or even at the faintest sounds?
While we appreciate our dogs’ protective nature, having an overly vigilant or anxious companion can lead to frustration, stress, and worry.
Living with a dog that is either constantly fearful or easily agitated by minor disruptions can be both frustrating and worrisome. Our focus will be on uncovering the underlying reasons for his behavior, equipping you with the knowledge to facilitate positive emotional changes in him.
I'll guide you through interactive games and activities specifically created to promote a sense of calm in your dog when faced with previously distressing noises or sights.
We'll create a personalized plan tailored to your daily life, providing you with strategies to prevent aggressive outbursts in your dog. You'll gain the skills to interpret your dog's body language and intervene before situations escalate. Additionally, you'll learn how to safely intervene in the event of dog fights.
Our efforts will strengthen the bond between you and your dog, facilitating improved communication and a deeper understanding of his needs and behaviors, allowing you to trust hm around other dogs again.
I’m a life long pet guardian who has struggled firsthand with dog reactivity.
After struggling with my six year rescue, Louie’s reactivity, and finding no effective training options, I enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy to better educate myself on the science behind animal behavior and positive reinforcement training.
The course changed Louie’s and my life.
Since then I’ve added to my credentials by certifying as a Fear-Free professional and a Canine First Aid responder and completed the Michael Shikashio Aggression in Dogs Masterclass.
I firmly believe that all dogs, irrespective of breed or background, can be trained through positive reinforcement. Science proves it.
I am now on a mission to empower dog guardians and their dogs with more positive experiences through behavior consulting and training so that they can be better companions to each other.
