Solving Dog Behavior Problems Positively
Initial Consult (60-90 min) $175 plus tax
Dog behavior problems require more caution and experience to solve safely and efficiently. They can stem from genetic pre-dispositions, poor socialization, emotional or physical traumas, medical conditions, etc. Therefore fixing them requires a more in-depth understanding of dog behavior and potential causes of behavior.
We have a great deal of experience working with these types of problems using science based, dog-friendly methods. Whether your dog is struggling with common or complex behavioral issues, our approach to behavior modification can work wonders for your furry friend.
Common Behavior Issues:
- aggression (people/dogs)
- barking/lunging at other dogs
- barking/lunging at people
- fear of strangers entering the house
- handling sensitivities
- food/toy guarding
- anxiety/fear

Behavioral Consultation
*Prerequisite for all training engagements
All new clients are required to begin with an on-line initial consultation. We will discuss your training goals and create a personalized training plan.
Once we discuss your dog and training needs, we will advise on a training package.
All consults are to answer all your questions and get started with a training plan.
The Consultation is a stand-alone service. It is treated as a single session. It is intended to be the first part of a training plan, with the second part being single training sessions or a multi-session package.
Behavior concerns, including, but not limited to: separation anxiety, aggression, fear, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and general reactivity (on or off leash), require a more comprehensive evaluation (60-90 minutes in length), and the fee is $175.
Please fill out intake form and someone will contact you to schedule your consult.
Separation Anxiety Services
Is your dog panicking when you leave her alone? Are your neighbors beginning to complain about incessant barking? Is your dog destroying your house? Separation Anxiety is a heartbreaking condition, and it can be difficult to navigate.
How does the process work?
- Fill out our questionnaire
- Set up initial consult to discuss the process in more depth
- Gather all the supplies necessary, including a doggy camera
- Schedule 4 virtual sessions with me at your convenience
- Receive emails with homework and feedback on your progress
Why is this training virtual? Training for separation anxiety requires that we teach your dog how to be confident when they spend time alone at home. We will be observing them together, via live video chat, so they can practice being truly alone. Virtual training like this will give us a clear picture of what is going on when you leave the house, without any interference of your dog’s routine. This will all be discussed during our phone conversation after you have completed our questionnaire.

GUARANTEE
Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior is not static and can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.
TRAINING SUPPLIES
Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.
TRAINING METHODS
One Smart Dog uses reward-based methods that are backed by science to modify your dog's behavior. Because a reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior. The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.
PRIVATE TRAINING NO-SHOW
All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training.
