Services

Private sessions take place in the client's home, usually for an hour, and help with leash pulling, barking, car rides, fear of the vet, groomer or loud noises, reactivity, separation anxiety and jumping on visitors. Sessions can also help a newly adopted pet settle in, support veterinary care for issues like arthritis or surgery recovery, or start a new puppy off well. Small group workshops of fifteen or fewer, seminars, demonstrations and Reiki treatments are also offered.
