Joy Ford Certified Behavior Consultant
What I do is called dog behavior consulting which is different from dog training. While training focuses on teaching specific commands and obedience, behavior consulting delves deeper into understanding and modifying complex behavioral issues. As a behavior consultant, my goal is to identify the underlying causes of your dog's behavior problems, whether it's fear, anxiety, or other issues, and develop tailored solutions to address these issues at their roots. I provide a holistic approach that considers your dog's overall well-being, medical history, mental health, and environment. By working with me, you're not just teaching your dog new tricks; you're addressing the underlying behaviors that may be causing distress or challenges for both you and your pet. This results in a happier, healthier, and more harmonious relationship between you and your beloved companion.
