We Will Help You Succeed with Your Dog's Behavior Goals

  • We focus exclusively on offering in-home (see our service area) and virtual consultations to address your dog’s behavioral needs
  • We help you understand basic learning theory and behavior science so we have a common framework for how we will approach changing your dog’s behavior
  • We work with you to develop a realistic management protocol to follow daily to minimize the repetition of unwanted behaviors
  • We give you a behavior modification plan that will allow you to build new responses in your dog
  • We are available to coach you between sessions if you get stuck, have questions or something unexpected happens you need guidance on
  • We provide written and visual support material to keep you on track
  • We set goals together so we have something to work towards

We strongly recommend that you consult with a veterinarian before, or in conjunction, with the dog behavior consult to make sure that no health issues are contributing to your dog’s unwanted behavior.

How Our Dog Behavior Consultations Work

1 - Schedule a Discovery Call (Optional)

We’ll talk about your behavior change goals and make sure that Positive Dog Solutions is a good fit for you. We can also communicate via e-mail if preferred. Once you have decided to move forward, we will send you a behavior questionnaire to fill out.

2 - Decide on a Consultation Package

We are happy to help you determine the package that best serves your goals. The more assistance you feel you need or the more complex the behavior challenge will determine the size of the package.

3 Schedule the First Session

The first session is virtual. This allows us to set the foundation for the continued work together, The remaining sessions are all in person unless you live outside of our travel range, or we determine other options are more beneficial for the behavior we are addressing.

4 Finalize the Admin Details

You will receive the PDS Agreement for signature, the zoom link for our first session and the invoice link.
