Frequently Asked Questions:

FAQ: Working With Heal With Your Dog


Q: Do you train the dog or coach the human?

A: Both—always. True behavior change comes from adjusting how the dog and human respond to each other. I coach the human to lead with clarity and I help the dog feel safe, regulated, and understood.



Q: What kind of issues do you work with?

A: I specialize in lifestyle alignment, early intervention, behavior problems (reactivity, guarding, anxiety), and helping rescue dogs land safely. I also work with human burnout and emotional overload around dog ownership.



Q: How do I get started?

A: Start by filling out the history form and booking a Deep Dog Dive. This is our foundation session where we begin understanding temperament, needs, and goals.



Q: I just want one session. Do you offer that?

A: Yes—for returning clients. New clients start with a Deep Dog Dive. If you prefer to move slowly, you can book one session at a time, or choose a program for more momentum.



Q: Why aren't your programs or prices listed online?

A: My services are highly customized and evolve based on client needs. I share full details directly to protect the integrity of the work. Book a quick call to learn what's currently available and best aligned with your goals.




Q: Do you offer remote sessions?

A: Absolutely. I work with clients across the country. Online sessions are often more efficient for certain topics, and I tailor them based on your or your dogs' needs.



Q: Do you offer support for dog professionals or burnout recovery?

A: Yes—I offer coaching for trainers, business owners, and caretakers. See the Business & Wellness section on the booking site.



Q: What’s the best way to ask you a quick question?

A: If you’re a current client, you have direct access during active programs. I include short follow-ups by email after every session. Otherwise, the best way to connect is to book a brief call or session.
