In-person and online help for reactive, fearful, and aggressive dogs
Dog Behavior Consulting in Ballston Spa, NY
Need help with your dog’s behavior — and live in or near Ballston Spa, NY?
Most of my clients work with me virtually, but if you're local and prefer in-person support, I can help. Some dogs and people benefit from having a trainer physically present, and I’m happy to discuss whether that’s the best fit for your situation.
What I Offer
I’m a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) based in Ballston Spa, NY using positive reinforcement, science-backed methods. My goal is to help your dog feel calmer, safer, and more understood — and help you feel more confident and connected in the process.
You can choose from:
• In-person sessions (in Ballston Spa & nearby)
• Online sessions (great for many behavior cases)
🏡 In-Person Sessions in Ballston Spa, NY
In-person sessions take place outdoors or in your home when appropriate. These are a great fit if:
• You want hands-on guidance
• Your dog needs in-home support
• You’re local and prefer face-to-face help
✨ If I believe online sessions would be more effective for your dog’s comfort or learning style, I’ll always let you know — and we can adjust as needed.
💻 Prefer Online Sessions?
We love them too! Many dogs actually make better progress online — especially if they:
• Get overwhelmed by new people or spaces
• Are easily distracted or reactive
• Struggle to learn when stressed
Online sessions are:
• Easier to schedule
• Calmer for your dog
• Just as effective (or more!) in many cases
You’re welcome to stick with virtual if that’s your preference — or combine both as needed.
✨ Whether you’re picking In-Person or Online, everyone’s Initial Session is online.
