Behavior Modification Services

where positive reinforcement is key

Cynthia’s professional, private behavior modification training is rooted in positive reinforcement and clicker-based methods designed to create clarity, confidence, and lasting results.

Every pet — and every household — is unique. For that reason, no two training plans are ever the same. Each behavioral objective is carefully evaluated and customized to fit your pet’s temperament, environment, and specific challenges.

True, lasting change requires consistency.

Success depends not only on the training sessions themselves, but on commitment from every pet parent in the household. When structure, communication, and follow-through are aligned, transformation happens.

What to Expect:

Fully customized behavioral plan

Positive reinforcement & clicker training methods

In-home training sessions (no facility stress)

6–12 week programs, depending on goals

Sessions are typically scheduled 2–3 times per week

90-Minute In-Home Behavior Consultation Also Available!

All training takes place in your home — where behaviors naturally occur — allowing for real-world application and practical solutions that integrate seamlessly into your daily life.

Furry Fun Training Packages

Let’s Have Some Fun!

Because life isn’t much fun for a highly intelligent, high-energy pup who spends the day waiting for their busy humans to come home.

Many dogs — especially working and active breeds — crave more than just a quick potty break. They need purpose. They need mental engagement. They need a “job.”

That’s where Furry Fun Training comes in.

What’s Included

Each session is thoughtfully structured to provide both physical activity and meaningful mental stimulation:

10–15 minute structured walk
30-minute fun training & enrichment session

Activities may include:

Teaching adorable tricks like “paw,” “roll over,” or “bang”
Scent work and treasure hunts
Interactive dog puzzles
Confidence-building games
Structured playtime with purpose

Every session is tailored to your dog’s personality, breed tendencies, and energy level. Because enrichment isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Why It Matters

Behaviors such as:

Excessive barking
Destructive chewing or furniture damage
Digging
Restlessness or pacing
Even changes in appetite

…can often be signs of boredom, under-stimulation, or anxiety.

The proper combination of mental and physical activity can dramatically reduce these behaviors while building confidence, focus, and emotional balance. A tired dog isn’t just physically exercised — they are mentally fulfilled.

Paw-sitive Steps Training Packages

Taking Steps in a Pawsitive Direction

Basic and obedience training should do more than teach commands — it should build confidence, improve communication, and create harmony within the home. My goal is to help dogs become calm, responsive, and well-mannered companions while strengthening the bond they share with their families.

Foundational Obedience & Everyday Manners

Training focuses on essential behaviors such as: Sit, stay, leash walking, heel, recall, and impulse control.

We also address common household challenges, including jumping on guests, leash pulling, and displaced aggression.

Using positive, reward-based methods and clicker training, I work with each dog at their individual pace. Sessions are structured yet compassionate, combining clarity, consistency, and balanced guidance to help your dog thrive.

Program Structure

All training takes place in your home environment, allowing real-life behaviors to be addressed where they naturally occur.

45–60 minute in-home sessions

2–3 times per week

6–12 week customized programs

Behavior Challenges We Often Address

Through one-on-one guidance with pet parents, I also provide support for counter-surfing, resource guarding, and boundary setting within multi-pet homes. Lasting success depends on consistency, which is why collaboration with every member of the household is essential.

The Clarity & Calm Behavior Consultation

Not every behavior needs weeks of training...

Sometimes, what looks like a training issue is actually a matter of regulation, clarity, or understanding what your dog truly needs. If that sounds like what you’re experiencing, a Behavior Consultation may be exactly the right fit.

This is a focused, 90-minute in-home session where we:

Get to the root of the behavior
Create a clear, realistic plan
Give you the tools to move forward with confidence

You’ll receive a customized manual to guide you after our session, along with a follow-up call to support your progress.

Additional sessions are always available if you need continued guidance. Sometimes, the right insight makes everything click!
