Private Support
Individualized coaching for complex dogs and real lives
One-on-one support for dogs whose challenges are rooted in stress, fear, frustration, or unmet needs — and for people who want more than quick fixes.
This work focuses on understanding why behaviors are happening, adjusting the environment and expectations around the dog, and building practical skills that fit your real life.
Sessions are collaborative, adaptive, and grounded in the belief that lasting change comes from clarity, not control.
Start with a clear plan and short-term support.
Deeper work over 3 months
Ongoing behavior and emotional support.
✨ Start Here ✨
Guidance is the entry point for private support — designed to give you clarity, direction, and immediate traction.
This package includes:
A 75-minute initial consultation
A personalized short-term training and management plan
One month of support, including video feedback and waypoint hours
A follow-up session to assess progress and next steps
Guidance is ideal if:
You’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed
Your dog’s behavior has changed or escalated
You want expert eyes on what’s really happening
You need a plan that fits your household, not a generic protocol
At the end of Guidance, many teams find they’ve resolved the issue entirely. Others choose to continue into Expeditions or Wayfinder for deeper, longer-term work
✨ Three Months of Focused Support ✨
Expeditions are for teams who need more time, structure, and coaching to create meaningful change.
This three-month package builds on the foundation established in Guidance and includes:
Monthly training and management plans
Ongoing video coaching and feedback
Access to office hours
A follow-up session at the end of the program
Expeditions are a good fit when:
Progress is happening, but consistency is hard
Multiple factors are contributing to the behavior
You need support applying skills in different contexts
Your dog benefits from steady, structured guidance
Enrollment in Expeditions begins with Guidance.
This ensures we’re aligned on goals, expectations, and the best path forward.
✨Ongoing Behavior and Emotional Support✨
Every dog has a story.
Wayfinder helps you write it well — through learning, observation, regulation, and enrichment.
Wayfinder is a continuous support program for dogs working through complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Rather than chasing surface behaviors, we focus on building capacity: resilience, communication, and adaptability across contexts.
In game terms, min-maxed characters are fragile. Wayfinder builds proficiency — the quiet skills that shift outcomes even when the dice roll badly.
Wayfinder focuses on:
Understanding emotional drivers behind behavior
Expanding a dog’s tolerance and choice-making
Supporting regulation before, during, and after challenges
Designing environments and routines that reduce friction
Strengthening the human–dog relationship as the core skill
Common focus areas include:
Confidence in new environments
Dog-dog reactivity
Human-directed fear or stranger danger
Resource guarding
Separation distress
Chronic overarousal or difficulty settling
Handling intolerance and cooperative care challenges
Wayfinder includes:
Ongoing monthly plans
Video coaching and feedback
Access to Waypoint hours
Regular check-ins to reassess goals and progress
Wayfinder enrollment begins with Guidance.
This ensures we start with a shared understanding and an appropriate level of support.
