Kristyn specialize in treating aggressive, anxious,

train. Other behaviors they treat include manners,

housebreaking, and obedience. If your dog is

Sean and Kristyn view your pet as more than just “the dog.” Rather, they see

them as a life companion. They hope for this to be a special journey that you

will take through life together.

Sean and Kristyn look beyond your dog and focus on their behavior. They

avoid constructs like “bad” or “stubborn.” Instead, they examine the factors that

control their behavior. By understanding these factors, they can effectively and

compassionately train and alter their behavior.

Not only do Sean and Kristyn train your dog, they train you. By doing this, they

can ensure that you have the tools to maintain your dog’s behavior over time.

Their goal is long term maintenance of behavior change that you control with or

without their support or presence.
