Behaviour Consulting Offerings

With a passion for treating and working with complex behaviour problems, our consulting practice integrates multiple scientific disciplines to inform our treatment program.

I offer flexible, trauma-informed consulting that supports you and your dog through every step of your healing process.

That’s why I’ve created a consulting model that reflects the real work: relationship building, emotional healing, and supportive guidance that honours the unique life you lead with your dog.

Training that focuses solely on rewards and punishments as the only road to behaviour change can miss the mark on treating the behaviour problems you’re seeing in your dog, or, in some cases - can even make the problems worse.

Why I Offer Support This Way

Healing journeys aren’t linear — they’re nuanced, messy and layered.
Sometimes what you need isn’t a session.

It’s a voice note. An email check-in. A supportive phone call after a hard walk. Or someone to help interpret a tough moment on video.

This model gives you the support you need, when you need it, without worrying about the clock or cramming everything into a single session.

Together, we’ll build a rhythm that works for you, your dog, and your healing process.
