An evaluation helps Rachel understand your dog’s history and recommend appropriate training.
Exposure is tailored to your dog’s comfort and introduced only when appropriate.
There is no fixed timeline. History, triggers, and consistent practice all matter.
Barking, lunging, and difficulty settling can make an ordinary walk feel demanding. A personalized evaluation helps identify what sets your dog off and which skills need attention. Training focuses on alternatives your dog can practice, alongside coaching for the person holding the leash.
