When should you call a Dog Behaviorist ?

Is your dog showing behaviors that feel disruptive or out of sync with your lifestyle? Are daily tensions piling up and you sense that “something’s wrong,” without knowing how to respond?
As a Dog Behaviorist, I step in across many situations — one‑off issues, chronic patterns, or emerging concerns.

Examples

• Excessive barking or howling
• Indoor soiling or inappropriate elimination
• Destructive behaviors
• Aggression (toward dogs, humans, other spices)
• Reactivity
• Hyperactivity
• Fears, phobias, anxiety
• Separation and isolation distress
• Multi‑pet cohabitation issues
• Post‑adoption difficulties (shelter dogs, strays, history of mistreatment)

The Behaviorist: a mediator between you and your dog

Your dog is trying to communicate. My role is to help you understand those messages, soothe your dog, restore balance, and strengthen your relationship over time.

My approach is based on observation, listening, analysis, and recommendations that address causes rather than symptoms. Every human–dog team is unique, so cookie‑cutter solutions don’t exist.

By decoding what your dog expresses and clarifying the underlying causes, we build respectful, practical, and durable solutions together — so these behaviors fade and your daily life becomes happier for both of you.

What is a behavioral Assessment ?

A comprehensive review of your dog’s behavior within his environment, routines, history, and interactions at home.

It follows in 4 steps:

1. Introductory phone call to define the concern.
2. 1h30–2h appraisal, ideally at your home or by video call (depending on the context):
• Full analysis: history, adoption context, lifestyle, interactions, reactions in different contexts
• Observation in the dog’s environment
• Identification of root causes
• Personalized, concrete, immediately applicable advice
3. Follow‑up by email or phone within the two weeks after the consultation.
4. Ongoing support for 3 months.

A kind, trust‑based approach

• Respect for physiological and psychological needs
• Positive methods: reinforcement, consistency, cooperation
• Pacing adapted to each human-dog team’s progression

My goal: dogs don’t show these behaviors without a reason. Together, we bring back understanding, peace, trust and collusion.

Special case: dog–cat cohabitation

Different species, different needs and communication. As a specialist in both dogs and cats, I help you prevent or resolve conflict and build a peaceful, safe routine for everyone.

Why can cohabitation be difficult?

The dog is social and typically more demonstrative, often curious — even intrusive — when faced with a newcomer. They may read a cat’s signals as play, threat, or challenge.

These differences can generate:

Cats and dogs are very different:

The cat is more independent, and sensitive to change; he needs stability, calm, control of its environment, and safe, dedicated zones.

• Misunderstandings, with one species’ postures contradicting the other’s
• Fear or aggression from the cat (flight, scratching, isolation, marking)
• Excessive behaviours from the dog (over‑excitement, predation, barking, focus on the cat)
• A lot of stress for one or both, impacting overall well‑being

What the support includes

• Individual evaluation of both the dog and the cat
• Analysis of the living setup
• Step‑by‑step cohabitation plan
• Personalized follow‑up

Benefits

• Gradual, respectful cohabitation
• Less stress
• Prevention/reduction of unwanted behaviors and conflict

My goal : A peaceful home, where every animal finds its place

What is Preventive Coaching?

A preventive intervention: anticipate changes so your dog can experience them more peacefully.

As a Dog Behaviorist, I support you upstream to preserve your dog’s emotional stability, prevent the rise of unwanted behaviors, and foster a harmonious home.

Why anticipate?

Dogs spend their lives adapting to human society. Sudden shifts in routine can trigger stress and anxiety.

Common scenarios

Case 1: Adopting a puppy

a crucial window when foundations are set; poor handling in the first weeks can lead to anxiety and problem behaviors.

Case 2: Expecting a baby

the household changes deeply; dogs may react with worry or disorganization.

Case 3: A new pet joins

careful introductions and structure to help prevent long‑term tension.

Case 4: Moving house

loss of landmarks and abrupt routine changes are major stressors.

Tailor‑made support

Anticipation to avoid crisis. Preventive coaching is a personalized consultation at home or via video.

• Situation analysis
• Concrete recommendations to apply right away
• A bespoke action plan
• Follow‑up by email or phone in the following weeks

My goal : to provide stable reference points during change and strengthen the bond of trust between you and your dog.

What is Dog Training?

Dog Training is about learning the rules of living together: helping your dog choose context‑appropriate behaviors. It’s not about obedience; it’s a progressive dialogue between you and your dog that respects both your needs.

One‑to‑one lessons offer tailored guidance, dedicated to your team, your pace, and your goals — for a clear, quiet, and lasting relationship.

Who is it for?

• Puppies, from day one at home, to build solid foundations
• Teenager or adult dogs, to adjust, reinforce, or reshape behaviors
• Owners seeking a personalized approach

Common objectives

• Essentials: recall, walking on a leash, sit / down / stop
• Managing arousal and jumping; channelling energy
• Improving focus and attention
• Building calm, waiting, and comfortable alone time
• Everyday scenarios: meeting other dogs, greeting guests, car, city noises
• Deepening mutual understanding and your bond

Respectful, cooperative teaching

• Positive, kind, individualized approach
• No force, fear, or punishment
• Positive reinforcement, motivation, play, calm
• Considering emotions, needs, and limits
• Human skills: clarity, consistency, body language

I adapt to your pace, skills, and objectives. Education is a partnership, not a one‑size‑fits‑all program. My role isn’t to train your dog for you, but to strengthen your relationship by showing you how to guide him and listen to him.

Each session gives concrete, progressive tools you can use right away. Together we build the foundations for long‑term trust.

Practical details

• Location: at home or outdoors (parks, town, forest)
• Duration: 1 hour per session
• Frequency: ad‑hoc or regular follow‑up
• Eligible dogs: all ages and breeds, including categorized, sensitive, or reactive
• Packages available following a behavioral appraisal

My goal: To help you feel autonomous, confident and serene while strengthening your bond with your dog.

Dogsitting

I look after your dog at your home, in his familiar environment while you’re away.

Every dog is unique — temperament, emotional needs, daily rhythm, bond with their people. During longer absences (workday, hospital stay, etc.), unfamiliar settings or kennels can create stress, anxiety, or confusion.

Home dogsitting lets your dog stay in their own environnment, with their landmarks and routines, while benefiting from an attentive, caring and competent presence.

First meeting required

Trust matters. we do a preparatory visit before the first dogsitting to:

• Get to know each other
• Discuss habits and specific instructions
• Observe the dog’s relationship with their environment
• Agree on logistics (frequency, visit length, schedule, contract, keys)
• Set walking routes if that option is chosen

Professional care

As a Dog Behaviorist and professional Dogsitter, my visits cover physiological, emotional, and relational needs:

• Meals and care per your instructions
• Chosen interactions (play, cuddles, mental stimulation, shared rest) according to what your dog enjoys
• Careful observation to support well‑being and detect any early signs of discomfort

A personalized service

• Daily home visits with or without a walk (30 minutes to 2 hours)
• Multiple visits per day if needed (medication, separation anxiety, puppy care)
• Support adapted to age, health, and autonomy

After each visit, you receive a detailed update (email or SMS): photos, videos, observations, and notes.

Guided, educational dog walking

Walks are more than sanitary breaks — they’re mental and cognitive stimulation, socialization, discovery, and balanced exercise. Poorly guided walks can reinforce pulling, environmental fear, reactivity, or frustration. Thanks to my dog training skills, each walk matches your dog’s emotional and training level:

• Respect for their pace (young, senior, sensitive, or high‑energy)
• Positive reinforcement of desirable behaviors
• Comfort‑distance management for fearful or reactive dogs
• Simple exercises (recall, stop, “leave it”) as needed

I can also share training feedback after each visit so you can continue the progress at home.

My goal: ensure your dog’s well‑being, respect your expectations, and let you be away with peace of mind.
