Our Services

Canine Counselor's mission is to enhance the relationship between dogs and their humans by providing effective training solutions that address a wide range of behavioral challenges. We recognize that every dog is an individual with unique needs and learning styles. That's why we offer personalized in-home training sessions that take place in the comfort of your own environment.

In-Home Private Training

This approach is the foundation of Canine Counselor's success. By observing your dog in their familiar surroundings, we can identify the subtle triggers and underlying causes behind any behavioral issues. Whether you're dealing with house training difficulties, destructive chewing, excessive barking, leash pulling, anxiety, or aggression, our private training sessions provide a safe and supportive space to work through these challenges.

We carefully design a training plan specific to your dog's needs, focusing on positive reinforcement techniques that build confidence and foster a loving, trusting bond. Our in-home sessions last for either 90 minutes or 120 minutes and are tailored to your schedule, with daytime, evening, or weekend options available.

Dog Department

We understand that every dog deserves a happy and well-adjusted life. The "Dog Department" section of Canine Counselor reflects our dedication to providing comprehensive support for dog owners. This section will soon feature valuable resources such as information on dog breeds, appropriate training techniques, behavior FAQs, and tips for enriching your dog's life.
