Behavioral training sessions are designed to deal with issues that are more complex than your typical training issue. We will work on building skills in a positive and consistent manner. Our first session will focus on constructing a management plan and structures that will prevent your dog from rehearsing the behaviors that we are going to work to change.

Get your dog's reactivity under control with our 5 session reactivity training program from Seventh Heaven Pet Care Together, we'll learn the basics of reactivity and effective ways to manage your dog's reactive behavior. The course is structured so that the first two sessions will take place at your home where we will learn basic skills and work with a decoy dog. On the third session, we will meet at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center and work with my dogs. We may need additional centers at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center depending on the level of Reactivity, but once you are feeling more comfortable with being able to manage your dog, you are ready for Group Reactivity, where you can practice with your dog and different dogs in a controlled, safe environment!

Dog training walks are a perfect follow up for either Private or Group Training. I will reinforce skills that your dog has already learned with training exercises that you are familiar with. Your dog will love this adventure! We will train at the beginning of the walk and during the walk will work on recall and loose leash walking. This is a great choice for an active dog!

Our Private Puppy/Welcome Home Class helps you get prepared for your new furry family member! You can schedule your first visit either before or after you bring your pup home. All Seventh Heaven Training Classes include the following: * You will have access to an online folder where you can upload video or download video, your handbook and bonus training protocols will be loaded onto your site. * You can ask questions in a chat with me and your training team. * You will have access to videos to go along with most of the lessons. * At our first session you will be provided a printed handbook, clickers for your family and a foot target. Starting from the premise that our goal is for your dog to have freedom and agency, we will discuss setting limits while your dog is getting used to her new home, keeping a close eye on her, and starting as you want to have things go. This is a five session package. Each session is 45 minutes long. * Our first session which can take place either before or after you bring your pup home we will build a Management Plan. This plan will include things like potty training, using a house leash, creating zones in your home where your dog can expect play, quiet time, etc. and more. * If you have a puppy, we will start the potty training process and I will give you plenty of information and tips based on your setup and availability. * You will learn about body language, safe socialization, introducing new objects, sounds, and people without flooding your pup. * You will also learn about the value of nap schedules and letting your pup learn to be alone periodically throughout the day so that you don't end up with a clingy or anxious pup when you leave the house or need to work. * We will work on some beginning training behaviors and go through the outline of training a behavior. Mostly we will work on impulse control and stopping problem behaviors before they become an issue like nipping, jumping and problem leash behaviors. * There will be fun activities and training games for kids included in every session if there are children in the home or you have children over on a regular basis. Since this is a private class, we will customize the later sessions to work on issues that are important to you, we will get to work on behaviors in your home environment, and with the people in your home. You can choose to add some puppy play classes for socialization.

Does your dog growl, bark or lunge when on leash? ​Show aggressive behaviors? Resource guard? Is your dog Fearful? Has your dog bitten a dog or person? If so, a Behavioral Consultation is for you. During this one and a half hour session: *We will discuss your dog's history and place in the family. We will also discuss the Training Team and environmental challenges and benefits. *We will document any bite history, medication interventions, previous training experiences and more. *I will evaluate the dog through observation of his behavior and your interactions with him. *We will create a communication plan to make sure everyone is on the same page. This will include your file share space on the website for videos and messages for the whole group to share. *We will discuss your goals and compare those to the prognosis. *After getting buy in, we will create an initial Management Plan. This plan will surely change overtime and will be the Least Restrictive, Minimally Invasive, but will err on the side of caution. *We will go over basic concepts related to the behavior modification plan and you will have time to ask questions. If we are working with an especially fearful dog, it may be best to conduct the initial consultation virtually so that the dog is not stressed for this longer session by having a stranger in the house. We will make this call before the session.

This is a follow up for either Private or Group Training. I will reinforce skills that your dog has already learned with training exercises that you are familiar with. For this walk, we will start with 15 minutes of training exercises on skills that you choose. Then we will go for a nice, relaxing walk. When we come home we will drill skills and then play! Great physical and mental exercise!
