Absolutely. If you feel you need guidance, whether it’s preventative care or you are struggling with something specific, you are welcome to book a consultation with me.
Initially you will fill out a history form for me so that I can have an understanding of the challenges as well as the other facets of you and your dogs’ life so that I can start to formulate a plan before we meet. Once we meet I likely will have some questions and then we will start to go over what you will be working on. I will also answer your questions. For your reference you will be sent a simplified plan, video demos and all concepts that we have discussed. I may recommend you see your veterinarian to rule out pain or underlying issues or see a veterinary behaviorist and often times we work together as a team.
I am training YOU to work with your dog. I do not need to see the behaviors that you are experiencing, after 12 years of working with reactive dogs I’ve seen it all. What we need to do is get to the bottom of whether there are underlying issues at play, how we are going to approach behavior modification and how YOU are going to apply this training! My clients live all around the world, this format allows me to work with you no matter where you live.
I am often working with clients that have unfortunately been led to believe that they need to use force, intimidation and tools for severe behavior issues. This causes damage. The dog training industry is not regulated and you are not protected as a consumer, nor is your pet. I don’t make guarantees but if you haven’t seen success we need to take an in depth look at the approach you were using and find out where things are going wrong.

I have invested a considerable amount of money and time into education and certifications to give you the most up-to-date behavior information possible. In addition to my 12 years of experience, I go above and beyond for my clients. You are not just paying for the time we spend during our consultation, you are receiving a customized plan and resources afterwards, reports are written for veterinarians and referrals are vetted for you when needed. A lot goes on behind the scenes!

My reactive doggie and I have been working with Renée and it has been wonderful! It worked very well for us to work virtually from home as he is fearful of strangers and new environments. Renée gave us tools to use in his own space, which helped to get him to a place where we can begin introducing the training in other environments (ie vet visits, public places). We have made so much progress with body handling, leash reactivity, and marker training. Thank you Renée for all your help!

We adopted a foreign rescue and luckily we were able to get an appointment with Renée fairly quickly because we were quite overwhelmed. I still consider many of the points Renée has raised in our sessions. Most of our sessions were virtual and it’s amazing what we accomplished through video. We now have a well adjusted rescue dog who enjoys her life, we understand her better and continue to see her adapting as she ages. We still celebrate all the small wins! Thanks Bravo Dog!
