Reactivity
Lunging, barking and pulling towards other dogs or people. We find the threshold, work underneath it, and rebuild the walk into something you no longer plan your day around.
One to One Programs
Private work in your home, built around your dog, your household and the thing that is actually going wrong.
Group classes teach you commands. That is useful, and it is not what most people actually need.
If your dog lunges at other dogs, panics when you leave, or has turned your house into somewhere you brace yourself before entering, the issue is not that they do not know the word sit. The issue is what is happening underneath, and you cannot address that in a hall with eleven other dogs in it.
So we come to you. We see the actual room, the actual street, the actual family. And we work the real problem where it lives.
What we can work on
Separation anxiety
The howling, the destruction, the guilt every time you reach for your keys. Gradual, structured work that teaches your dog that you leaving is survivable and ordinary.
Puppy foundations
Everything set correctly the first time, including the pre-vaccination window that most people lose entirely. Crate, toilet training, sleep, bite inhibition and early socialization done safely.
Barking, jumping and crate work
The daily friction that wears a household down. Usually faster to resolve than people expect once the root is identified.
Leash walking
A dog that walks with you rather than dragging you. Comfortable, repeatable, and nothing that relies on equipment doing the work.
Introductions and multi-animal homes
New dog meeting the children, the cat, the existing dog, or something less usual. We have introduced dogs to cats, horses and rats, and the principle holds throughout.
Going further
Once the foundations are solid, plenty of people carry on into the more interesting work. Off-leash hiking, water activities, and breed specific behaviors for dogs who need a real job to be content.
