We have two levels of service providers:
Senior Consultants are certified animal trainers with extensive experience in teaching basic operant skills, as well as producing behavior management strategies and behavior modification resolutions for dogs and cats. Our Senior Consultants specialize in aggression, anxiety, and other complex behavior conditions with an emphasis on pets that are at risk of separation from their families due to behavioral concerns. The City of Boulder judicial offices recognize our Senior Consultants as experts in our profession and contract with them to provide consultation services to ensure public safety.
Consultants are certified animal trainers, too, and are gaining practical applications in the field of animal welfare to competently assist with basic training needs such as jumping, barking, housetraining, and leash manners, or with behavioral profiles including shyness, reactivity towards other animals and body handling sensitivities.
Our talented team of consultants have been professionally assessed and certified in both feline and canine behavior and training. They demonstrate their knowledge and skill in force-free dog training and stay current on the science and techniques of the dog-training profession through continuing education.
