Individual Behavioral Consulting
Fees : Appointment Hours : Service Areas
What it is:
Review of pre-consult Question Form and pre-consult phone interview. Interview with owner and other family members within the home. An evaluation, interaction, and observation of dog’s behavior within the home and/or neighborhood. A discussion and summary of training and management recommendations as well as other available options to improve dog’s behavior.
What it is not:
An instant fix for your dog’s behavior issues.
In order to schedule an In-home Behavioral Consultation, we must first speak with the pet dog owner by phone. This will enable us to ensure that the problem the pet dog owner is facing would need an In-home Behavior Consultation. We will then schedule the 1-1/2 hour appointment and send the owner the necessary paperwork. We need to receive the Initial Behavior Consult Question Form back at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled In-home Behavioral Consultation appointment.
The Tough Stuff - Challenging Behavioral Problems
We offer Behavior Modification Training Plans for all areas of behavioral problems as well as compassionate and caring counseling services to help you make the best decision for you, your family, and your dog. Fear, aggression, food & object guarding, separation anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorders may not be resolved through 1 or 2 sessions with a trainer. These behavioral problems can take a lot of time, effort, patience, and commitment, and many times with only slow and small signs of improvement initially.
If during the consult it is decided that your dog falls into one or more of these categories, the level of severity will be assessed and thoroughly explained. You will be given all possible options for your situation, including non-training options as well. Quality of life and safety issues for all humans and animals involved in the household is taken into consideration when discussing all available options.
E-mail woof@pawsofnature.com to discuss how Paws of Nature Family Dog Training & Behavior Consulting can help you and your dog grow better, together.
