The right starting point depends on what your dog is experiencing, what daily life looks like, and what kind of support will help your household move forward.

Explore training and behavior services
In-Person Dog Training
One-on-one support for puppies, adolescent and adult dogs, fear, reactivity, anxiety, and everyday challenges.
Training focuses on practical skills, thoughtful management, enrichment, and a stronger working relationship between you and your dog.
Separation Anxiety Training
Individualized remote coaching for dogs who struggle when left alone.
Each plan is adjusted according to what Erika observes, with regular feedback and compassionate guidance that respects your dog’s emotional limits.
Dynamic Dog Assessments
A detailed review of your dog’s movement, posture, routines, history, and behavior.
The assessment organizes objective observations into a report that can support a more informed conversation with your veterinarian.
A Dynamic Dog Assessment does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and does not replace veterinary care.
Behavior Consultation
A single, in-depth remote consultation to understand your dog's behavior, environment, and history.
You will receive a written summary with practical recommendations and a follow-up meeting to review next steps, without committing to a full training program.
Where should you begin?
Begin with in-person training when…
You want practical support with puppy behavior, everyday life skills, walking, settling, focus, fear, reactivity, anxiety, or helping a newly adopted dog adjust.
Begin with separation anxiety support when…
Your dog becomes distressed before or after you leave, struggles to remain alone, or needs a carefully paced plan built specifically around absences.
Begin with a Dynamic Dog Assessment when…
Your dog’s behavior has changed or seems inconsistent, behavior problems are overwhelming you and your dog, progress has stalled, movement looks unusual, or you wonder whether physical discomfort may be affecting how your dog responds to daily life.
Begin with a stand-alone behavior consultation when…
You want clarity and direction about your dog’s behavior without committing to a full training program, or you are deciding which path forward makes the most sense and would value a focused conversation first.
These needs can overlap. Erika will review the information in your inquiry and help identify the most appropriate starting point.
Different services, one compassionate foundation
Every service begins with curiosity.
Rather than treating behavior as something to suppress, Erika looks at what the dog may be communicating and what is happening in their body, environment, routines, and relationships.
The goal is not perfect behavior. It is a safer, more comfortable, and more workable daily life for both you and your dog.
Force-free methods
Training protects trust and does not rely on pain, fear, intimidation, or coercion.
Individualized support
Recommendations reflect your dog’s history, needs, environment, and current abilities.
Real-life practicality
Plans are designed to fit daily routines rather than demand a perfect training schedule.
Whole-dog observation
Emotional welfare, physical comfort, enrichment, environment, and behavior are considered together.
You do not need to choose alone.
Tell Erika what is happening with your dog. She will review your inquiry and help determine the most appropriate next step.
