Pet Project Dog Training is a force-free, science-based dog training business led by Dr. Keira Moore, Ph.D., BCBA-D, KPA-CTP, specializing in helping families in North County San Diego and beyond build compassionate, lasting connections with their dogs. They offer in-home private training sessions for dogs struggling with separation anxiety, reactivity, fear, aggression, resource guarding, and small dog behavior, as well as puppy socialization and general manners. Services include behavior modification, leash manners, cooperative care, and confidence-building for shy or fearful dogs. Virtual training and behavior consulting are available across the U.S., making their expertise accessible to remote clients. Their approach is rooted in applied behavior analysis and positive reinforcement, with no use of force, fear, or corrections. They provide free downloadable training handouts on topics like clicker training, crate training, and proactive strategies to help owners implement techniques at home.

Dr. Moore’s background as a board-certified behavior analyst ensures training is grounded in scientific principles, with clear communication and patience emphasized in every session. Clients appreciate her flexibility, personalized pacing, and ability to adapt methods to individual dogs—whether a fearful Saint Bernard mix, an anxious toy poodle, or a new puppy. Her sessions are designed to empower owners with practical tools they can use daily, resulting in measurable improvements in dog behavior.

The business also offers a free separation anxiety webinar and maintains active social media channels (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook) to share educational content and support the dog-owning community.
