Is your dog overly sociable or anxious around other dogs, cars, bikes, people, or any other triggers?
Do they exhibit behaviors like lunging, barking, growling, snapping, or randomly bolting while you’re out together?
I’ve experienced that feeling where you find yourself embarrassed and constantly apologizing for your dog’s actions, all while secretly wishing they were like what you consider a “normal dog.”
I'll provide coaching on the reasons behind Cosmo's reactions and introduce enjoyable and interactive activities to help your dog alter their feelings towards their triggers.
Together, we'll create a personalized plan tailored to your daily routine, ensuring Fido's success well in advance of your walks. I'll also instruct you on how to recognize his early warning signs long before any outbursts happen.
Dealing with your dog's challenging behavior in public can be overwhelming, especially when others are disapproving. I'll provide you with techniques to confidently handle these situations and guide you on how to expedite the recovery process for both you and your dog.
Our efforts will strengthen the bond between you and your dog as communication improves and trust is restored, ultimately turning your walks into a pleasant experience.
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.
