Behavior Consultations

Canine Behavioral Consultations

Is your dog aggressive with other dogs or with people? Does your dog obsessively dig or chew? Does your dog bite or nip? Is your dog suffering from what seems like separation anxiety? Is your dog anxious when they hear loud noises? Does your dog chase or harass your other pets?

These are not uncommon behaviors in our canine counterparts, especially in puppies or new dogs to the household. However, it is a problem if these behaviors do not dissipate or are not managed effectively. If you feel like your dog is holding you captive or you just don't know how to overcome or work with the problem any longer, you may need behavioral counseling.

A private behavior consultation will help you to identify problems and learn how to avoid potentially dangerous situations with your dog. We come to your home to evaluate your dog's temperament, ask questions and find viable solutions to encourage change in your dog's behavior.

Our professional consultation includes an evaluation of your dog(s) by our staff applied animal behaviorist, Dr. Valerie Chalcraft, a written detailed explanation of findings, identification of the likely reasons of the behavior's onset, treatment recommendations, a follow up with the dog’s veterinarian and follow up calls with the behaviorist. Three different packages are available to suit your needs. Please allow two hours for the initial consultation appointment
