Behaviour Coaching is for dogs who:

• Are navigating a transition or new life situation: puppies, new-to-you dogs and rescues

• Need help building confidence and comfort in their day-to-day life, or in new situations

• Exhibit behaviours we label as unfriendly or aggressive, including: growling, barking, growling, snapping, staring, lunging or biting

• Feel worried around unfamiliar people, including people in public or visitors to the home

• Experience fear or anxiety in certain contexts or in general, including: avoidance, shrinking, hiding, barking

• Respond to certain situations with over-excitement or frustration

• Struggle to settle or focus on walks or in social situations

• Need help with navigating an illness or injury, or support with learning to feel comfortable with handling

Imagine a life with your dog that involves:

🌈 Clarity: wondering about your dog's behaviour and how to best respond can be confusing and stressful. I’m here to help you understand why your dog does what they do and what you can do to make positive changes that benefit you both! You'll develop skills and awareness to shape your dog's behaviour now and into the future.

🌈 Empowerment: dealing with difficult behaviours can be very hard on us humans, so I'm here to help you feel in control of the process of doing the right thing for your dog. You’ll have all the tools and information you need to move through challenges with confidence!

🌈 Having Fun: we have dogs to enjoy one another's company and live a happy life together. My approach to behaviour change involves play, enrichment and reward-based exercises that will strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Having a good time together is one of the most important goals.

🌈 Support: you're not alone in this. I'm all about meeting you and your dog where you're at. Together, we'll develop a clear plan and work through it towards success. My goal is to support you in making the most of your training and resources.
