You have dog problems - I have solutions!

Intelligent and effective dog problem solving without - ever - using choke, prong or shock collars!

And, unlike many positive reinforcement professionals, I do not use a clicker.


Possible? Yes! If one understands dogs, and what causes problems.

My method is not a secret or unique. I am neither a magical whisperer nor do I possess exceptional physical skills. My method is a combination of: Hands-on experience, formal education, sound behavioral science and common sense.

The three magic words to mastering your relationship with your dog and prevent, improve or solve every problem behavior are: Trust - Information - Distance ---- not dominance, correction and respect.

Let me give you the skills to solve your dog problems, so that you can have the relationship with your dog you always envisioned.

This is how:

IN (YOUR) HOME CONSULTATION

This is what you get:

~ In-depth, accurate evaluation of your dog and situation

~ Detailed explanation what the root of the problem is and interpretation what your dog communicates

~ Accessible, individualized and effective solutions that can include: important commands often not taught in an obedience class; how to deal with resource aggression effectively; anxiety relieve measures; confidence building; how to incorporate necessary changes easily into your every day routine

~ A personalized summary emailed guaranteed within 5 business days that includes the evaluation, all aspects that were discussed during our meeting, protocol how to modify the behavioral issues you are dealing with, and prognosis

TAX INCLUDED - NO ADDITIONAL FUEL CHARGE

I work with the group, not individual, and there is no additional fee for multi-dog households.


During our 2-3 hour meeting you will get all the tools you need to work with your dog and see results. For that reason, I see most of my clients just once, but follow-up sessions can be booked as wanted. The flat fee is staggered between $ 80.00 - 125.00, depending on location.

A follow-up session is typically between 1-2 hours long.

Follow up sessions can also be booked at Full Circle Veterinary Clinic in Dartmouth (see below) where I will be Saturday mornings. Fee is $50.00 per hour, or $25.00 for semi-private sessions.
