Behavior Consultations

Private Sessions

One-on-one help with basic manners and behavior-related problems

The first session will be our initial consultation where I obtain pertinent information from you, explain fundamentals of learning theory and behavior, and talk about goals and expectations. I then start creating a training plan with you, and decide the first steps to get you on the right track. Consultations run around1.5 hours on average.

Initial consultations are offered mainly virtually (for in-person options see below)— with the science-based knowledge that has been gained regarding dog behavior, the training community has realized it is no longer absolutely necessary to physically see or handle the dog in question. In addition, this helps in keeping dogs with any behavior problems stress-levels reduced.

In our consultation you will be learning about your own canine companion, and will get the best lasting results by staying hands-on with your own dog. Obtaining the knowledge from your professional trainer needed to help you and your dog(s) live in harmony—all while building your relationship with them—is certainly priceless.

     Following each session I do send you a detailed email with everything we discussed, additional helpful information, and further resources.

    After the initial consultation you can schedule follow-up sessions whenever it is needed. These can really delve into the training plan as well as troubleshooting and tracking progress. There are discounted packages available if there are multiple goals and more time is needed.

I am here for you every step of the way on this journey!

It is important to note that Kera follows the latest science, uses positive methods, and makes sure everyone involved is comfortable with the process.
