How it works?

*Start with contacting me via my contact page (email), Facebook or Instagram message or phone with some detail about your concerns. Let me know how you heard of me and who your primary Veterinarian is.  Most of my clients are referred by their Veterinarians. I will be in touch with them as we work through our plan.
*It is important to know that legally I am not allowed to work with any form of aggression and you should consult your Veterinarian as they can direct you to a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist.

*We will then set up a date and time for me to visit you at your home. 
*Our initial consult will last between 1.5-2 hours as we work through behaviors that are of concern for you and your family.  I will give you all the tools that you need to work on and we will re-visit again in about 2 weeks.
*Our follow up visit will last about 1 hour and we will review all of the things you have been working on over the past 2 weeks.  Depending on our progress or new concerns we may schedule another visit in another 2 weeks.
