in-person, voice and video holistic behavioral services for dogs and their guardians
behavioral services for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds

mindful, insightful, natural wisdom
I’m a holistic behaviorist. I work with you and your dog to achieve behavioral wellness. During a session our focus is the interconnection between you, your dog and your daily environment.
About a Session
Your session is designed to create a comprehensive learning experience for yourself and your dog.
In your session I’ll work with:
- You and your dog(s).
- Your family.
- Your friends and neighbors as applicable to your situation.
We’ll work together:
- In your home.
- Your yard.
- Your street.
- Your dog park.
- As applicable to your situation.
Session Duration
On the day of your session we’ll be working together for a minimum of 3 hours. The average length of a session is 4 to 5 hours, however some sessions require 6 to 7 hours.
The exact length of your session will depend on your specific circumstance and will be determined once we’re working in-session.
Session Days and Times
I offer sessions on weekdays and weekend days. Session start time is typically late morning.
Your After-Session e-book
After your session I’ll create your after-session e-book. Your e-book will contain reading, reference materials and exercises to reinforce what you learned in your session. Your e-book is your reference guide. The e-book is completed and sent to you 3 to 4 days after your session.
After Your Session
You’ll continue to implement the exercises we practiced in your session. You’ll be able to refer to your after session e-book, and continue to work on yours and your dog’s behavioral program.
Additional Support Services
If you find you’d benefit from additional support you always have access to my voice and video session service. You can also choose to schedule a shorter in-person session.
