Each Private Coaching session is 60 minutes and can take place in your home, out in the community, on Zoom, or at our training facility in Lake Forest.

Behavior Modification
Fear • Anxiety • Aggression • Reactivity
Our behavior consultants, Liv and Cassie, have been working complex behavioral cases for over 10 years. They have found the perfect steps (outline below) to successfully working through fear, anxiety, stress, reactivity and aggression.
Beginning on Zoom is best for dogs who:
• Have a bite history
• Won’t take food outside of their home (i.e. low food motivation)
• Are scared of people coming into their home (bark/growl or run/hide)
• Are nervous or fearful or overstimulated in new places
• Are reactive toward people on walks (barking, lunging, or whining)
If you resonate with any of the above, please begin with Step 1 or 2 below.
Step 1: Behavior Evaluation ($250, 1.5 hours, on Zoom)
The Behavior Evaluation allows you to thoroughly discuss your dog’s history without any distractions present. It’s important that your behavior consultant gets a full picture of the context of your dog’s behavior, the training they’ve had so far, any medical issues, as well as a clear discussion of your needs and goals. Your behavior consultant will share management strategies to ensure the safety of everyone moving forward as well as training exercises to begin in the comfort of your home. Lastly, based on the conversation, your behavior consultant will leave you with recommended next steps: either Reactive Rover Recovery or a private behavior modifciation package. If working together in person is the next step, you’ll have a clear plan for doing so in the most productive way possible.
If you plan to complete Reactive Rover Recovery, then the Behavior Evaluation is optional.
Step 2: Reactive Rover Recovery ($295, 6 weeks, on Zoom)
If your dog is reactive (barks or lunges) toward other dogs or people, then we’ll require taking this class before beginning in-person training. Reactive Rover Recovery is LIVE and interactive, meaning you’ll be able to keep your camera on and ask questions in real-time. The instructor, Cassie, will discuss how to reset your dog’s nervous system and begin working through their reactivity from scratch. Once you graduate from this class, you’ll have the tools necessary to make our in-person time together safer and most productive.
Step 3: Private Behavior Modification
We’ll take the skills you learned in your Behavior Evaluation and Reactive Rover Recovery and show you how to implement them in the real world. Each private coaching session is 60 minutes and can take place in your home, out in the community, on Zoom, or at our campus in Lake Forest depending on what will be most productive for meeting your goals.
