Your Best Buddy Dog Training

Training begins with a required one-hour consultation to assess the dog’s behavior and set goals. Clients then follow a structured program using positive reinforcement techniques, including the SAFE Management Plan for separation anxiety. Programs are delivered in weekly or biweekly one-hour sessions, either in-home or via Zoom. Progress is monitored through regular check-ins, and owners are taught practical tools to reinforce training daily. The separation anxiety program includes management strategies, desensitization, and counterconditioning to help dogs feel calm when alone.
