In-depth assessment and behavior modification for dogs presenting with aggression, reactivity, severe anxiety, compulsive behaviors, or complex fear responses. We work with the whole picture — history, environment, health, and relationships.
- Comprehensive written intake questionnaire
- 2-hour in-home or virtual assessment
- Detailed written behavior report
- Structured behavior modification plan
- Vet liaison letter when appropriate
- 4-week follow-up support
Feline Behavior Consultation
Cats communicate differently, and their behavior problems are often misunderstood. We assess inter-cat conflict, litter box issues, fear and hiding, aggression, and stress-related conditions — and create a plan that respects feline nature.

- 90-minute virtual or in-home consultation
- Written behavior and environment report
- Personalized modification protocol
- Pheromone and enrichment recommendations
- 2-week follow-up check-in

Behavior challenges aren't limited to dogs and cats. We consult on a range of companion species — including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and small mammals — applying the same evidence-based, fear-free approach to every animal in your care.
- Species-appropriate intake assessment
- Virtual consultation (60–90 min)
- Written behavior summary and recommendations
