What I hear MOST is:
I’ve tried training before but nothing works!
Behavioral modification through positive reinforcement is the way to go
Some of the key issues I hear from dog owners are things like “My dog can’t be alone”, “My dog barks/lunges at other dogs on the street” or “I can’t have a pleasant walk because my dog insists on pulling on the leash”. And let me tell you one thing: if this or something similar is happening to you, then you are not alone!
With a focus on observation, interpretation, and holistic solutions, we are dedicated to addressing behavioral issues with long-lasting results. The idea is to help you understand your dog and see the world the way our furry companions do. And it can be done completely remote.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I will never say no but it will depend on the type of behavior issues and my knowledge at the time, but I will certainly be honest and won’t waste your time if I can’t. Otherwise, I will commit to helping you and your dog overcome any challenges. For instance, excessive barking, destructive chewing, aggression (towards people or other dogs), leash pulling and difficult walks, socialization challenges are some areas I can help with. Every dog is different, so we take the time to figure out whatâs causing the behavior and find long-term solutions, not just quick fixes.
Depending on the area, in-person can be possible. Otherwise, our services can also be 100% remote, which means we can help dogs and owners anywhere in the world!

At Fluent Fido, we help you better understand and communicate with your dog. Our services include:
Behavioral consultations to address issues like barking, aggression, and anxiety.
Positive reinforcement training tailored to your dogâs unique needs.
Guidance on body language so you can âspeak dogâ more fluently.
A holistic approach that considers your dogâs physical and emotional well-being.
We focus on positive reinforcement and stress-free methodsâ that means no punishments, no harsh corrections and no aversive methods of any kind. Many people tell me this method takes too long but you need to look at it like you would changing a habit like exercising or quit smoking. This takes time and so does training to help your dog improve their emotional regulation. How? well, by rewarding good behavior, providing enrichment, and helping you create a safe and happy space for your dog. Our goal is to build a strong, trusting bond between you and your pup
