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.

Pet Insurance Coverage
-
Many pet insurance policies have the option to add coverage for addressing behavior problems
-
Contact your provider to see if you have coverage
-
Confirm they cover services provided by "a CAAB"
-
If so, you will be reimbursed for most or all of our 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
