    Stand-Alone Behavior Consultation

    Not every situation calls for a full training program. Sometimes you need a knowledgeable, compassionate professional to look at the whole picture and help you understand what may be going on.

    A stand-alone behavior consultation gives you dedicated time with Erika to explore your dog's history, daily life, environment, and behavior, and to leave with clarity about practical next steps.

    Force-free, judgment-free
    Focused conversation
    Clear next steps

    When a single conversation is enough

    You may have a specific question, a new behavior you want to understand, or a sense that something is not quite right but no clear direction.

    A stand-alone consultation is an opportunity to step back, share what you are seeing, and have an experienced professional help you make sense of it, without committing to a full training program upfront.

    Clarity comes first. The right path forward follows.

    What the consultation includes

    1
    60–90minutes together

    An in-depth conversation

    Erika takes time to learn about your dog's history, daily routines, environment, behavior, and your goals. Together you will identify what may be contributing to what you are seeing.

    2
    Wholedog perspective

    A complete picture

    Behavior is considered alongside physical comfort, environment, relationships, and daily life. Erika looks at what your dog may be communicating, not just what they are doing.

    3
    Writtensummary & next steps

    A summary and direction you can keep

    After the consultation, you will receive a written summary of the discussion along with practical, individualized recommendations you can begin using right away. You will leave with an understanding of what may help, whether that is management strategies, a training path, a veterinary conversation, or simply reassurance that you are on the right track.

    4
    Followup meeting

    Reviewing next steps together

    A follow-up meeting gives you time to go through the written summary and recommendations with Erika, ask questions, and feel confident about the path forward.
