Services

Behavior consultations for cats and dogs are available either in person or via video conference (only when the behavior can be appropriately assessed remotely).

A REMINDER FOR PUPPY OWNERS: All puppies should be carefully socialized in a group class before they are 20 weeks old with an experienced instructor, not at dog parks or daycare! Puppy and all dog training/classes (the Nose work class is great for seniors looking for hobbies).  Click Here
