What Makes This Training Different

Behaviour support sessions are structured weekly to create consistency and momentum, while allowing time for your dog to process and adjust. Weekly sessions help prevent setbacks and ensure progress is supported without rushing.

Training focuses on understanding your dog’s emotional responses, building coping skills, and addressing behaviour at its root — not suppressing symptoms or relying on force.
After each session, you’ll receive written follow-up notes outlining what we worked on, along with clear, step-by-step guidance you can follow between sessions.
Support is available between sessions by text or email if questions arise or you need clarification as challenges come up.

Training begins with an initial in-home consultation, which allows us to meet in person, assess behaviour concerns, and ensure this approach is the right fit.
