Our approach
Behavior science meets Fear Free care
Christine holds a Certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington and is a Fear Free Certified Veterinary Professional and Certified Animal Trainer. Every consultation combines a thorough behavioral assessment with Fear Free principles — including a look at the environment itself, because where a pet lives shapes how they feel and behave.
Root-cause assessment
We look at the full picture — history, triggers, body language, and context — to understand what's actually driving the behavior before recommending any intervention.
Low-stress, humane methods
All recommendations are grounded in Fear Free and positive reinforcement principles. No punishment, no flooding, no tools that work through pain or fear.
The space matters too
Sensory stressors — sound, scent, lighting, spatial layout — directly affect behavior. When needed, we assess the environment as part of the solution.
