Is your dog’s behavior holding you hostage? We’re here to help.

Living with a dog with behavior issues is hard.

It can be a struggle to have friends over, go for a walk, visit dog parks, or stop by an outdoor patio. Having a dog with separation anxiety or fear aggression can make you feel trapped in your own home.

No matter how challenging your dog’s situation, we’re here to help. Even fighting or biting—just let us know what’s going on and we’ll tackle it. Without judgment. We’re in your corner.

We truly understand what you’re going through, and it’s our mission to help you enjoy your dog and achieve household harmony.

Living with your dog should be joyful.

We want to help you replace fear, frustration, and embarrassment with relief, peace, and joy.

We want to equip you with the knowledge and skills to achieve lasting results for you and your dog.

We want you to feel confident in your ability to meet your dog’s emotional and behavioral needs.

How we create change and bring relief

We take a unique team approach to helping our clients.

Our behavior vets and dog trainers work together to address all aspects of your dog’s behavior.

Why this team approach?

Serious behavior issues often have medical components, as many medical issues (such as those causing pain or hormonal imbalances, for example) can result in behavioral problems. Typical approaches to behavior modification and dog training ignore the medical side of the equation, leading to disappointing results.

When needed, our behavior vets can diagnose and treat medical issues contributing to behavior problems, and add diet, supplement, or pharmaceutical support to your dog’s behavior modification plan. This means faster results from your training, whether you do the training yourself or you choose to have one of our behavior consultants train your dog for you.
