Working Behavior Consultation

60–90 minutes · $150 · In-home

Our first appointment is a working consultation. We review your dog's history, the behavior you are seeing, the daily routine, and your goals. Observation is arranged around safety and your dog's comfort.

You learn where to begin with management and practical exercises. We discuss realistic expectations and decide what ongoing support may be useful.

  • Individual behavior assessment and discussion
  • Management strategies for everyday life
  • Personalized starting exercises and homework
  • A plan for next steps and follow-up

Contact Summer

Fear, avoidance, and handling concerns can also be part of a private behavior plan. Tell me what is happening so we can discuss the right starting point.

Group classes

For manners and puppy skills, group classes provide structured practice and support. Reactivity classes may be suitable for some dogs after we discuss their needs.

Classes are offered through Woof! Wellness in Santa Clara. Contact me for current offerings, dates, and fit; schedules and availability change.

Ask about classes

Practical tools, thoughtfully chosen.

Rewards, enrichment, clear communication, and management are central to my approach. Appropriate leashes, harnesses, barriers, and positive muzzle conditioning can support safety and learning. We choose tools around your dog's needs.

Before your first appointment

  • Share any bite history, injuries, or concerns about children and other pets.
  • Tell me about previous training and what has or has not helped.
  • We will plan a safe setup before working with your dog.
  • You do not need to trigger the behavior to show me the problem.

I provide behavior coaching and training. Veterinary care or collaboration may be recommended when health, discomfort, or additional support needs are part of the picture.

A practical place to start

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Tell me what life with your dog looks like right now. We'll start with understanding, safety, and a plan that fits your family.
