What to expect

Consultation

Our in person consultation takes place in your home and lasts two hours. It includes full behavior history review and observation. This allows me to build a training/behavior modification plan and introduce you and your dog to training. You will receive a session summary 24-48 hours after your session.

Sessions

Typically in your home

In our first session we identify three main training goals and focus on preventing unwanted behaviors. You will learn training basics and practice them with your dog. Training is tailored to your and your dog's individual needs and abilities.

Positive Reinforcement

As a member of Karen Pryor Academy, IAABC, Pet Professionals Guild, the Shock Free Coalition, and the Fear Free movement, I’m dedicated to providing Houston area dog and cat parents with the most up-to-date, effective, scientifically-valid, and compassionate behavior and training techniques available. I believe dogs, cats, & their owners thrive by teaching animals to “behave” because they know how and want to, not out of fear of punishment.
