    In order to provide quality service to each client, I work to avoid overbooking and so encourage you to book in advance.  (You may also request to be added to the wait list if there are no current openings.)  Questions? Email: Info@ExpertCanine.com 

    FAQ Excerpts:

    What locations do you serve?

    I serve clients nationwide/internationally, and of course locally.

    ​

    What methods do you use?

    I'm an anti-aversives professional, which means that I believe I must do everything possible to provide positive reinforcement and positive behavior modification services, avoid aversives, and help you to do the same. I refuse to use pain, force, intimidation, or fear on your dog in order to provide my services. 

    ​

    Why hire a Behavior Consultant like yourself instead of a vet behaviorist?

    Good behavior consultants do essentially the same behavior modification/training work as vet behaviorists. Aggression, anxiety, fear, phobias, reactivity, trauma, and feral dog behavior are all part of my behavior practice. Veterinarians and vet behaviorists do differ in that they are veterinary doctors so prescribe medication. If you want your dog to have psychoactive medication in addition to behavior modification/training, I can connect you with a vet behaviorist and the three of us will work together for you and your dog's needs--or, if your regular veterinarian is savvy about and stays updated regarding behavior-modification supportive medications, that may be an option for medication as well, and again the three of us will work together to help you meet your goals.  In most cases, you can save a lot of money using a well-educated and experienced behavior consultant for behavior modification and training.
