Unleashing both your and your dog’s true potential
How I Can Help
- Puppies and Adult Dogs. Canine behavior can be mystifying to humans. We help with puppy socialization, confidence, and coordination, plus behavior consultation for dog of any age!
- Therapy Dogs. We provide training, assessment, and consultation to volunteers, therapists, and facilities.
- Canine Physical Fitness. From companion to athlete, we help you help your dog to be physically fit to live a strong life.
- CARAT™ Assessments. We guide you to understand your dog from his perspective. Then we can match your dog’s character traits with his preferred job and most-effective training method. We also screen a dog you’re considering adding to your family to help you get a good match.
- Mental health therapy (for humans). For help with grief over loss of any kind (including companion animals), anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more, we provide compassionate, skilled counsel. (Some insurances accepted.)
