Problem Behavior Assessment
Every problem behavior in dogs (resource-guarding, excessive barking, reactivity, separation related issues etc) is a sign of discomfort/imbalance that the dog is experiencing on emotional level. Because our dogs are not able to tell us how they feel and what bothers them - it takes an expert to truly understand them, bring them relief and give them appropriate tools to cope. While many trainers out there merely suppress problem behaviors (often by using punishment, intimidation or other aversive, deeply harmful methods), TGB aims at investigating and resolving underlying issues that cause the problem behavior and bringing dogs relief that results in diminishing/eliminating problem behaviors.

Enrichment Sessions
Pet dogs in modern cities have a number of needs that need to be fulfilled in order to ensure a happy and healthy life; they require socialization, proper exercise, mental stimulation, they need to explore, play, be exposed to novelty, be exposed to different sounds, scents, and so much more! A lot of busy pet parents need help providing all the necessary enrichment to their dogs. That is why I created the Enrichment Sessions. These one-on-one outdoor sessions are more than just walks – they're personalized adventures crafted to enhance your dog's physical, mental, and social well-being. Instead of a rushed bathroom break with a walker overwhelmed by handling multiple dogs, Enrichment Sessions guarantee one-on-one attention from a dedicated and experienced professional who will facilitate whatever your good boy / girl needs to thrive.
