Behavior Consultations

Behavior consultations assess your dog’s mental and physical health. We include a behavior consultation in every training session. You can also book a behavior consultation without joining a class.

Behavior Consultation Evaluates Your Dog's Mental and Physical Health

Every training session starts with a behavior assessment:

  • Finding the root causes of your dog’s behavior
  • Addressing both your dog’s struggles and your training goals
  • Creating a personalized training plan
  • Adjusting the plan as your dog learns and grows

 

Kathleen has behavior consultation training with Absolute Dogs and Help! My Dog, and she is currently earning her bachelor’s degree in behavior consultation. She uses science to understand what your dog really needs, as challenges often stem from pain, stress, or a lack of understanding of how to cope.
