Real Help for Real Life with a Dog in the City
Most behavior issues don’t come from “bad dogs.”
They come from unclear expectations, mismatched environments, and too much advice pulled from too many places.
My work is about helping dogs function calmly and predictably in real life—and helping people feel steady, informed, and supported instead of overwhelmed.
Where to Start
Most clients start here.
Initial Training Consult
$250
75-minutes, in-depth session
In-person (or virtual for $195/75-minutes)
Most clients begin here.
This session gives you a clear, grounded understanding of what’s actually going on with your dog and what to do next. We’ll look at behavior in context—not just symptoms—and build a realistic plan you can follow.
This includes:
Full behavior history and current challenges
Assessment of environment, routines, and handling
Practical recommendations you can use immediately
Clear guidance on next steps, if any
You’ll leave with clarity, not a list of conflicting techniques.
When a Deeper Evaluation is Needed
Formal Behavior Evaluation
$450
90-minute evaluation with formal documentation
For cases involving:
Aggression
Severe anxiety
Biting or safety concerns
Situations requiring formal assessment or documentation
This option is reserved for dogs whose behavior needs a more structured evaluation process.
If you’re unsure whether this applies to your dog, start with an Initial Training Consult. I’ll let you know if a formal evaluation is warranted.
