Do you live in
Boston, Greater Boston or the Metro West Area?
I travel throughout Boston, Greater Boston and the
Metro West Area of Eastern Massachusetts to work with clients in their homes. I also offer behavioral consultations at No Bones About It
in Brookline MA on Sunday afternoons and evenings. For more information, please feel free to call 617-803-4086 or email me at Vera@CooperativeDog.com today!
What to expect from a behavior consultation?
In keeping with my first things first principle, I require that you have, at least, discussed your dog's behavioral
problem(s) with your veterinarian. It is essential that s/he is aware of the issues so to rule out a possible medical cause before we meet.
Prior to our first appointment, I will gather information from you about your dog's behavior and more. During the 1.5 hour initial evaluation session, I will assess your dog's behavior and outline a behavior
modification plan. We will
work with your dog
during this first session so that you will know how to handle the
situations that arise daily. Occasionally, I spend more time with you so you should not try to fit the session in too tightly between other appointments.
While
some dog behavior problems can
be resolved in one or two sessions, most require more time. We
will likely work together for several sessions. In order to effect
lasting change in your dog's behavior, you must be willing to
change how you interact with and care for your dog.
Whatever
the behavioral issue, I am able to work the entire process to completion with you. I have several group dog training classes
available. Outdoor
classes are available to help you and your dog to better handle the
challenges encountered on daily walks. Rowdy Rovers is specifically for reactive and aggressive dogs. Agility and K9
Nose Work are stress
busting dog sports that also offer dogs and owners a chance to work as
a team.
Don't put it off one more day. Call me at 617-803-4086 to discuss or email Vera@CooperativDog.com. You may be surprised at the change that is possible!
