Canine Counseling Services
Sometimes, "training" isn’t the answer. When your dog’s needs go beyond basic training, our Certified Behavior Consultant, Kristen, is here to offer compassionate guidance and expertise tailored to your unique situation.
Canine Counseling Appointment $255*
A Canine Counseling appointment is not your typical hands-on training session. Instead, it’s a thoughtful and compassionate discussion designed to address deeper concerns or complex issues involving your dog’s well-being, behavior, or transitions in life. In these sessions a Certified Behavior Consultant provides expert advice and emotional support, helping you understand your dog's needs from a holistic perspective. Unlike a traditional training session, we focus on guidance, education, and planning rather than hands-on exercises or obedience work. This service is especially valuable for navigating situations where training isn’t enough or isn’t appropriate, and more emotional or situational guidance is required. The average length of this session is 90 minutes.

Virtual Follow Up Appointments $65*
For clients who have completed their first Canine Counseling Appointment; ~30-45min session via Zoom to discuss your case, answer questions, follow up recommendations, etc.
