Force-Free Dog Behavior Consultant in Basking Ridge, NJ
Helping reactive and fearful dogs learn safely through structured, science-based behavioral modification
If your dog barks, lunges, freezes, growls, or becomes overwhelmed in everyday situations, you are not alone. Many dogs labeled as aggressive are actually struggling with fear-based reactivity or anxiety. Understanding the root cause of behavior is the first step toward meaningful improvement.
As a graduate of Catch Canine Trainers Academy's Master-Level Program, I base all of my work on learning theory — the science of how dogs learn through reinforcement, consequences, and associations. My approach is force-free, LIMA-aligned, and structured to reduce confusion and build clarity.
I Specialize in Helping Dogs Who
React Strongly to Other Dogs on Leash
Lunging, barking, or pulling when encountering other dogs during walks. This leash reactivity often stems from fear or frustration.
Show Fear Around Strangers
Hiding, trembling, or aggressive displays when unfamiliar people approach. Building confidence through gradual exposure.
Become Overstimulated in Public
Difficulty focusing, excessive excitement, or shutdown behavior in busy environments. Learning to remain calm in stimulating settings.
Experience Anxiety-Driven Behaviors
Pacing, whining, destructive behavior, or other signs of stress. Addressing the emotional root cause, not just the symptoms.
Every case begins with a behavioral evaluation to determine the underlying cause and develop a structured plan.
