A note from
Tanya

Whether you've just brought home an impossibly cute new puppy, you're working through a challenge that's been weighing on you, or you simply want to feel more confident with your dog, you're in the right place.

I've worked with dogs of all ages, personalities, and histories, alongside families navigating all kinds of goals and challenges. If you're feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, embarrassed, stuck, or simply unsure what to do next, you're in very good company.

My goal isn't to tell you what you're doing wrong. It's to help you better understand what's happening, what your dog may be experiencing, and what kind of support will help both of you move forward.

Together, we'll make sense of what's going on and create a clear path forward that feels achievable for your family.

I look forward to meeting all of you.

What to Expect
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦

It’s ideal for everyone in the household to be there so we can understand each person’s perspective and create a plan that works for everyone.

πŸ•

We'll talk about your dog, your daily life together, and the life you're hoping to build, so we understand what success looks like, not just the behaviors you'd like to change.

πŸ’¬

Come as you are. This is a relaxed, honest consultation. No pressure, just clarity.

The Agenda
1
Introductions
We'll get to know each other right in your home, where your dog is most comfortable. You'll have space to share what's been going on, and I'll walk you through how I think about dogs and the behaviors that brought you here.
2
Understanding Your Dog
We'll talk openly about your dog's story, including his or her history, what you're seeing day to day, and what you're hoping for. The more I understand, the clearer the picture becomes.
3
Making Sense of It, Together
This is the heart of it. What looks like "bad behavior" is usually your dog doing his or her best to make sense of things, so I'll help you see what's really going on, and why. It's often not what people expect, and it's the moment things tend to click.
4
Your Path Forward
Once it all makes sense, we'll talk through what support could look like and how we'd work together, so you'll leave knowing your next step instead of wondering what comes next.
After The Consultation
✍️

After the consultation, we'll send you a comprehensive follow-up outlining what we discussed, our recommendations, and the next steps that make the most sense for you and your dog.
