Four Paws, Four Directions Dog Training & Canine Behavior Consulting LLC offers positive dog training and behavior consulting on most issues that affect pet parents and their dogs.  Excessive barking, house training, counter-surfing, jumping up, destructive chewing, noise phobias, reactivity and/or aggressiveness, separation anxiety, and other unruly behaviors signal problem areas that owners often find difficult to address on their own.  I also advise those who want to combine households that each have separate dogs.  I draw on the latest scientific research about canine psychology and proven force-free training methods to restore a balanced and harmonious relationship between dogs and their human companions.  I design in-home, customized programs to teach your dog good manners and other life skills.  I also train medical alert and psychiatric service dogs.  Let my gentle approach help you and your canine companions!
