Canine Behavioral Consultations

Your first step on the journey towards understanding and improving you and your dog’s life together!

We provide 60 minute virtual and in-person behavioral consultations to help you better understand your dog’s maladaptive behaviors, provide transparent and compassionate feedback of behavior exhibited by your dog, and construct a step by step individualized behavior plan that is easy to follow during the training process! We not only help ease your dog’s stress right away- but yours too! Each human-dog bond is unique and we aim to cater to you and your dog as individuals for the best possible outcome!

We specialize in a wide range of behaviors including:

human-dog aggression, dog-dog aggression, resource guarding, reactivity, fear, anxiety, arousal, predation, and phobias (such as separation anxiety).

Testimonials

“I am so thankful to have found Natalie! My 2.5 year old shih-tzu had recently become aggressive occasionally, which was very out of character and I didn't understand why. Natalie not only helped my pup, but she helped me understand him so much better and why he has certain triggers. We saw huge improvements in just three sessions with Natalie and I am now able to avoid the situations that cause him anxiety and to become aggressive…”

“…I contacted Natalie and have been consistently blown away by her knowledge, skillset, and thoroughness and the effectiveness of her methods. By the end of our four sessions, Marlo’s an entirely different dog, and it’s been so amazing to witness her grow more comfortable with herself and the world around her…”

“We have seen such a shift in our dog Odin, and it is all because of Natalie. She does such an amazing job of educating both you and your pet, providing incredibly comprehensive information all along the way…”
