Service Description

This session gives Ryan the opportunity to really understand your routine or culture at home. We teach you the method and how you can apply it to fit your life and your particular needs. Take the stress out of daily meal time and visitors at the front door... we know how some pups tend to be more territorial at home, right? How about that fear you get when you are on a walk in the neighborhood and you see another dog and you do everything just to avoid a fight— we get it. Not to worry, Ryan will give you step by step what to do when faced with these more nuanced interactions. Say yes to more peace and balance within your home and with neighbors.
