Dog Behavior Help - Certified Dog Trainer - Rio Rancho, NM
As a CBCC-KA (certified canine behavior counselor), CPDT-KA (certified professional dog trainer) and Fear Free Certified Professional with 30 years of experience, I help dogs and their people with difficult behavior problems. Assessing the issues, the environment, the needs of pet parents and designing a plan to improve dogs' and peoples' every day lives are the priorities.
Using the gentlest, most appropriate and effective techniques, we work together to reach the best solution for all the humans and animals affected. How can I help?

Pricing Packages
One hour in-person assessment with written recommendations and a minimum of two weekly followup emails. This includes any needed clarifications and adjustments of recommendations by email during the followup period.
We can discuss the behavior issue that you're concerned about and you will get immediate suggestions. And for difficult and/or complex cases which will be determined in the consultation, I'll recommend an in depth behavior assessment.
