About Debbie’s 4 Dogs LLC

About

Debbie's 4 Dogs LLC is a relationship-centered dog behavior consultant and trainer in West Hartford, with the motto "Kindness always for the win!" Debbie has completed coursework in Applied Animal Behavior, is a Certified Family Dog Mediator, has completed the Aggression In Dogs Master Course, and takes part in the Pet Professional Guild's advocacy work and Shock-Free Coalition. She once counseled humans, and says her training "is really for the humans."

Approach

Debbie works with fearful and reactive dogs, new puppies, older dogs and rescues who need time to decompress, looking at why a dog feels uncomfortable rather than trying to "fix" it. She advocates humane, reward-based methods and rejects shock collars, prong collars and harsh leash corrections. Sessions are by appointment, at home or virtual, and a Licensed Family Dog Mediator session costs $300.
