Build Skills and Overcome Struggles with a Canine Behavior Practitioner!
A canine behavior practitioner is a specialist who can analyze canine behavior and create modification plans for complex dog behavior struggles.
This goes beyond basic obedience to address issues rooted in fear, hyperactivity, anxiety, aggression, stress, or trauma, using science-based methods to create customized treatment plans, often working with vets for severe cases that might need medical support.
A Behavior Practitioner is highly educated to understand the emotional and psychological drivers behind behaviors (unlike typical trainers) and strives to help owners understand and change their dog's behaviors, utilizing humane, scientifically proven, and effective solutions.
With 20 years of experience and an education from the top behaviorist college in the world, even if other dog trainers or training methods have failed you in the past, I CAN HELP YOU!
Just as each dog’s personality will be unique, so are the skills, they need to grow.
I specialize in veterinary behaviorist created Concept Training, so I can help you RESHAPE your dog’s brain to develop the skills they might currently be lacking.
Recognizing what skills and concepts your dog needs to develop is vital if you are going help your dog be the very best version of themselves as you journey through life together.
Do I work with puppies and basic obedience skills too?
YES!!
Even though most people reach out to me for complex behavior problems, I LOVE when new puppy and dog owners START with me BEFORE struggles arise!
I view puppy training as "preventative" behavioral therapy! Starting a puppy off with Concept Training avoids the more complex behavioral struggles later on.
When you create solid foundations in Optimism, Calmness, Engagement, and Disengagement from distractions, your dog is set up to THRIVE for life!
Check out the FREE "Ready for Life Course: for Puppies & Rescue Dogs" from my mentors at Behavet!
It has everything you need to know on how to start off right with your new puppy or rescue dog!
Add on private consultations with me, if you would like help or advice implementing the strategies.
What is Concept Training?
Concept training is a positive reinforcement and solution-focused approach to dog training.
It targets the WHY behind your dog's behavior, rather than just suppressing the symptoms.
This leads to truly remarkable behavior transformations that you don't see with traditional obedience classes or punishment based dog training methods.
It's more than just teaching your dog basic commands.
It's setting your dog up to make the right choices whether you are telling them to or not!
With training games and exercises that are actually FUN, both you and your dog will enjoy and look forward to training!
