Sometimes classes aren't enough and it's time for an intervention. We can help.

Private sessions allow a customized approach to dog behavior to meet your specific set of needs. Whether you and your dog have challenges that need a customized approach or you simply prefer to train in your home or your community, scheduling private behavior consulting will get you on the right path.

 Need an earlier appointment? To get on the waitlist for a cancelation or earlier appointment, book the first available appointment that works for your schedule and appointment needs.  Complete and submit your history form in the confirmation email.  We will contact you if we can get you in earlier.  If you are concerned that the level of behavior is a safety risk, also reach out and ask for a management plan. 

Private sessions

Prerequisite courses

None


What should my dog and I expect? 

  • The initial session is an extended duration to allow for full history gathering and behavior assessment.  We'll set goals and expectations, then establish a safety and management plan for you and your dog.  In most cases, foundation behaviors will be introduced in that first meeting.  


  • A full review of the behavior, recommendations, resources, and behavior modification plan (including the expected number of sessions) will be provided.

  

  • Your consultant will coordinate with other pet professionals you are working with as needed. 


  • During follow-up sessions, we will provide coaching and support to help you progress through the behavior modification plan.  Adjustments can be made based on what works best for you and changes in goals as needed.

Remote Sessions

These Zoom-based sessions are ideal if you aren’t comfortable working in person, your dog is not comfortable with unfamiliar people in their environment and would not be able to eat/come out/settle when the consultant is in their space, or if you're outside of our @ Home zone. Separation-related behavior is best addressed remotely.

$225


Follow-up Consultation

Shelter/Rescue Evaluation/Decision Making Session

Available only for 501(c) 3 Shelter and Rescue organizations.  One of our certified behavior consultants will meet with you to assess the dog's behavior history, safety/welfare concerns, adoptability, and options moving forward.  You will receive a written overview after the meeting.  This meeting type will not come with a behavior modification plan, but we can provide one at a follow up meeting. 


Remote meetings will be through Zoom.  You may request a meeting at Gigi's, which will require approval prior to bringing the dog for evaluation.  They must be fully vaccinated to be seen on site.


Evaluation/Assessment

60-90 minutes

$150

Vet-to-Vet Consultation

Gigi’s Behavior Services offers vet-to-vet consults between the client’s family veterinarian and Dr. Herron, our board-certified Veterinary Behaviorist.  


How does it work? 

Our behavior consultant meets with the client to assess the dog’s behavior and gather a full behavior history.  If a dog may benefit from being evaluated for anti-anxiety medication, the behavior consultant will recommend a vet-to-vet consultation. 


Consultation cost*

$100


*Must be an active Gigi's Behavior Services behavior modification client
