Sí — de hecho, el entrenamiento remoto es la mejor práctica para la ansiedad por separación y la modificación de conducta. Y desde cualquier parte del mundo.
Training and medication aren’t either/or, they often work best together. I’m not a veterinarian and can’t prescribe medication, but I can help you recognize when a vet or veterinary behaviorist consult may be worth exploring alongside training.
Yes, when there’s a clear plan in place. Part of the initial assessment is understanding exactly what happened and building safety measures, like management strategies, muzzle training if needed, around that specific history.
No, and you’re not alone in feeling this way. Many guardians reach out exactly at this point, when things feel unmanageable. Reaching out doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re looking for another option before making a permanent decision. Let’s talk before you decide anything.
Consultations are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, so language isn’t a barrier to getting help.
Every dog is different, especially with aggression or reactivity, but most guardians start seeing real change within the first few weeks of a structured plan. Progress isn’t always a straight line, and that’s normal.
I understand how this can be frustrating because each trainer and behavior expert have a different solution and not all solutions will work for cases of aggression or severe reactivity specifically, and some methods (like dominance-based or punishment-based training) can actually make fear-based behavior worse. I use a certified, science-based, force-free approach built around your …

Sometimes pain or an underlying medical issue can drive aggressive or reactive behavior. If that’s a possibility for your dog, I may recommend a vet check alongside training, so we’re addressing the whole picture, not just the behavior.
Yes. A bite history doesn’t mean your dog is beyond help, it means we need a clear safety plan alongside training. I’ll walk you through exactly what that looks like during your initial assessment.
Yes. In fact, remote behavior consultations are often safer than in-person sessions for dogs with aggression or severe reactivity, since there’s no unfamiliar person entering their space to trigger a reaction. As a certified dog behavior consultant, I use video review and live guidance to work with you directly, wherever you are.
No. Dogs of any age can benefit from training; puppies that start early may avoid long-term anxiety, and older dogs can still learn new patterns
Absolutely no! There was nothing you did or did not do as a dog owner/dog parent to cause separation distress in your dog. Rest assure of this. What we know from science is that mammals have types of attachment – these can be secure or insecure, and we know that they can be based on …
Read more “Why does separation anxiety develop in dogs? Was it something I did?”
All dogs are different so we can’t say they will display the same behaviors but some common ones are barking/howling, destruction (chewing, scratching), house-soiling, pacing, drooling, and attempts to escape when they are left alone. But this is not the only way to determine this. We will start with an initial assessment where I will …

Yes — and remote training is actually the best practice for separation anxiety.
Every dog is different, so giving a potential timeframe would be outward lying. We usually offer to start with a 4 week package in which we deploy a protocol that includes 4 trainings per week and one reassessment. After this initial 4 weeks, we usually take a call with the client to see how to …
Yes — it is aboslutely important that we suspend absences and that your pup is not left alone until we have built a good amount of comfort around alone time. Training sessions are short and easy (no more than 20 minutes each time) to fit into daily life. But do not worry! As long as …
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!
It’s easy! First, book a free 15-minute intro call to talk about your dog’s needs. From there, we offer different packages to suit you and your dog’s needs.
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 …
We focus on positive reinforcement and stress-free methods— 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 …
