Behavior Consulting

About all Services

I provide step-by-step guidance on any concerning behaviors from your cat(s) and/or dog(s), never with pain, punishment or fear.

 

Head's up, YOU will be doing the bulk of the work. Behavior is impacted through tiny daily interactions over time. It takes a while to develop so it takes a while to change. You will be the driver here, but I will be the navigator.

You don't need to figure it out, struggle or try to navigate your situation on your own. Let me guide you through the process from the pet side while providing emotional support and self-care strategies for the human side of things​.​​

Note: the availability times listed are starting times.

Your pet insurance may cover your sessions.

Written Session Report

To redirect time to follow-up support and because so few clients use them, I no longer include written summaries of our sessions.

However, summaries are available and can be useful:

  • For vets to review, such as in cases where medication is recommended

  • If your trainer would like an outline to follow

  • If you learn better by reading

  • If your rescue needs one to share with the board or volunteers​​​

  • Must be requested with one week of session

Brief outline:

  • Assessments: $25

  • Quick Consult: $10

What Clients Are Saying

Miles started growling and lunging at dogs. 

Through virtual sessions, we gained a much better understanding of Miles and now he can relax around most dogs and even has a group of dog friends! 

Katenna’s transparency helped us form realistic expectations; her expertise helped us understand how to alter his behavior without harming his well-being; and her humor helped us feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. 

We are so thankful for her continued support.
