Step 1: Behavior Consultation

Behavior Consultations are for assessment and planning. We spend our time talking and observing your pet. Most of our consultations take place virtually.

Here’s what’s included in our Behavior Consultation time:

• Taking a detailed history of your pet, so we can best assess and plan for their needs.
• Observation of your pet, both for behavior and health information.
• Assessment of your pet’s behavior: Why might they be doing what they’re doing?
• Starting your pet’s Behavior Plan
  • • Management steps to help reduce stress for everyone ASAP.
    • An easy-to-understand chat about health, medications if applicable, and whether you might want to see your vet to help your pet’s behavior.

Step 2: Skill Building Sessions

Skill Building Sessions are for training and hands-on skills as well as continuing your pet’s management, health, and enrichment plans.

These hour-long sessions generally take place every 1-4 weeks. Most clients use 1 to 4 Skill Building Sessions to learn all they need to know to help their pet meet their goals. They’re available virtually, in-home, and hybrid.
