Distracted by discord in the home?

Multi-animal households can be tricky sometimes!

Whether it is introducing a new animal or shifting dynamics due to a new partner, child, or even just age, we can help relieve the stress!

For many of us in the PNW, our dog is a default adventure buddy.

If you are having difficulty communicating with your canine partner,

at the crag, on the trail, or in the city, give us a shout!

Garbage obsessed?

Chewing?

Shoe thief?

Digging?

Destructive behaviors in the home can be very frustrating!

Fortunately, there are management and modification solutions to make time at home more relaxing for you and your pet.

Aggression can take many forms, including:

-To other dogs, on leash or off

-To strangers in the home

-To strangers away from the home

Whatever the form, understanding the motivation for aggression is key to successfully addressing it. Punishing a dog for aggression when it is motivated by fear will make the problem worse.

Because of the risks involved to the community, to your dog, and to your finances, get help as soon as possible.

Puppies are precious - when they're asleep!

Once awake, they can be whirlwinds of chaos & destruction.

Planning is key to surviving the puppy phase & we're your locksmith!

From puppy protocols to training tips, we've got you covered.

A one-time puppy behavior consultation is a great way to determine the temperament and needs of your puppy - to set your puppy up for success!

Play is a great source of cognitive enrichment, physical exercise, and relationship building.

Is your dog’s play behavior enjoyable? Or obnoxious?

Jumping, biting, nipping, humping, possessiveness, or just plain old lack of engagement can make interactive play a chore.

Whether the behavior is directed to you, or to other dogs, we can give you tools to return playtime to a pleasure!

If your play time is troubled, or if you just aren’t sure how to approach structured games with your dog we have the tools you need.

Does your dog drive you to the brink of a breakdown when traveling?

Common behaviors include barking, howling, scratching, or shaking.

Car trouble can stem from excitement or from fear.

Understanding what motivates the behavior allows you to turn your canine passenger from nuisance to navigator*.

*We don't actually recommend letting the dog navigate. You will end up at every park and pet store in the state!

Dogs are social animals, and are aware of our absences.

With our busy lives, it is not realistic to never leave your dog alone for any period of time.

But some dogs experience extreme distress and suffer when left alone. This can manifest as destructive behavior (chewing furniture, belongings, walls & door), vocalizations (howling, barking, whining), and/or eliminating inside (loose or runny stools, peeing, etc.).

Through behavior modification, you can reduce the extreme anxiety and distress your dog experiences when alone.

It is a process, but it can greatly improve the quality of life for both you and your dog.

Every relationship is unique.
