I offer customized services to meet your needs, whether in your home, on-site, or virtual - see here for a list of commonly addressed issues, and below for descriptions and prices. To learn more, or to discuss what options are best for you, arrange a complimentary consult today.​​
Private Sessions
These sessions take place with you and your dog in your home environment or on-site.
Resolve problem behaviours such as aggression, excessive barking, or over-excitement, teach new skills, or set your puppy up for success. My goal is for you to understand your dog's behaviors, resolve issues, and teach new behaviors - such that you have the tools needed to confidently support your dog throughout your life together. ​
The initial session is 2 hours and in your home and subsequent sessions are 75 minutes. ​

Private Session - Trainer Trains
All dogs benefit from continuing to reinforce new behaviors, but you might feel you do not have the time you feel is needed to commit to this. If so, I can work directly with the dog, without the need for you to be there. And at the close of each session, I will discuss our session and coach you on how to continue to make progress.
Contact Kindred Creatures to learn more and discuss if this is a good option for you.

Separation Anxiety
Does your dog struggle when left home alone? Does your dog destroy things, vocalize, eliminate or display any other behaviors that are commonly associated with separation anxiety. This can be very difficult and stressful to manage, but know that there is hope. Work with a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT) to teach your dog to feel safe when left alone.
​
This program is done virtually (we need to observe the dog when left alone) and structured in 4-week increments - consisting of the following:
​
-
A complimentary initial consultation to learn what separation anxiety is and how it is treated
-
An initial live evaluation of your dog when left alone (done via Zoom)
-
Four customized, easy to follow, daily exercised for you to do with your dog, weekly
-
Four weekly reassessments to assess progress, resolve issues, and celebrate successes
-
Daily support and feedback.

Enrichment Walks
Let's talk about one of the most important behaviors for a dog - being a dog!
​
Enrichment walks do just this. They allow your dog to engage her natural behaviors whether socializing with other dogs, sniffing around in nature, foraging, finding great sticks, and simply just making their own choices. This is done in small groups of dogs, in the safety of a private fenced in area. Check out our photos album here! Not only is this a ton of fun for your dog, it is essential for their mental, physical and behavioral health. And is a great supplement to the training options above.
Prices include transportation to and from the location and n hours having fun.

Board and Learn
​Board and Learn is another great option for getting started or to further the training you've been working on. Your dog will stay with the trainer in a nurturing dog-centered home environment - learning, playing, spending time outdoors. This highly customized program in terms of length and format - designed to meet your dog's individualized needs. And to provide you with the knowledge and tools to continue to make progress - through follow-up private coaching sessions.
