Training & Behavior
Behavior consultations, in-home training, and indoor enrichment from our two Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA).
Behavior Consultations
Initial consults for behavioral issues. We will assess the issue and suggest management techniques and an intro training plan. If deemed necessary, we may refer out to more intense training programs or a veterinary behaviorist. This is a service to solve minor behavioral issues or, for more severe problems, to get you started down the right path. It is not a complete behavioral program.
In-Home Training
Sessions in your home for everyday problems such as barking, leash manners, and separation anxiety. Light training is also part of every walk with us.
Indoor Enrichment
Food is only one of many forms of enrichment for dogs. Our indoor enrichment package sets you up with a personal program for your dog, including the products, instructions, and training to use it.
Your Trainers
Both of our trainers hold the CPDT-KA: our founder, Pippa Kok, MS, and Tamara Kurt. Pippa is also Fear Free certified and has co-authored two peer-reviewed studies of shelter dog behavior. You can meet them both on Our People.
My dog has reactivity issues so I’m particular of who she trains with. Pippa has such a calm demeanor and is a natural with dogs like mine. She is well qualified and gave me great tools to use on my own. During our session, my dog was locked in with training and responding well. Highly recommend Pippa and grateful to now have her introduced to my doggy <3— JULIETTE J., CLIENT
