Consultations
It all starts here. A consultation is the first essential step to tackle training and behavioural issues with your dog. We will talk about your goals, assess your dog and build a custom training or behaviour modification plan. The consultation includes immediate management & training solutions to help with any urgent issues and set you and your dog up for success.
Crosspaws also offers consultations prior to bringing a dog into your home, so you can prepare as best as possible.
Consultations can take place in-person or online.
Private Coaching & Training

- Solutions
- Professional collaborations
Some problems may be resolved quite easily while others can take many months of gradual behaviour modification. Only a thorough assessment can give you the answers you need to make the best decision for your dog and yourself.
If the input and support of other specialists is required, Crosspaws will be happy to collaborate with your vet or veterinary behaviourist or refer you to other qualified experts.
