Professional Consultation Services for Behavior Professionals

Expert Consultation for Challenging Canine Behavior Cases

As a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB) with more than three decades of experience evaluating and treating canine behavior problems, I provide consultation services for trainers, behavior consultants, veterinarians, shelters, and other animal professionals seeking an experienced second opinion on challenging cases. My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help professionals strengthen their clinical reasoning, expand their understanding of behavior, and increase their confidence in managing complex cases.

Professional Case Consultation

Fee: $350 

Designed for Professionals Seeking Guidance on a Current Behavior Case

This service is ideal when you have completed your assessment and would like another experienced perspective on case formulation, differential diagnoses, treatment planning, clinical reasoning, or determining the most appropriate next steps.

Appropriate for:

  • Aggression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Leash reactivity
  • Fear-related behavior
  • Resource guarding
  • Separation anxiety
  • Cases that have plateaued
  • Cases in which you’re uncertain about the treatment plan or prognosis

What the Consultation Includes:

  • Review of a concise case summary submitted in advance (1-2 pages)
  • Review of up to three video clips (maximum viewing time: 10 minutes)
  • One-hour Zoom consultation
  • Discussion of assessment, clinical reasoning, differential diagnoses, treatment options, and recommendations
  • Brief follow-up email summarizing key recommendations

Complex Behavioral Case Review 

Fee: $650

Designed for Professionals Managing Particularly Challenging or High-Risk Behavior Cases

Some cases require substantially more review than can reasonably be accomplished during a consultation alone. This service is intended for situations that benefit from a comprehensive review of case materials before meeting together.

Appropriate for:

  • Severe aggression
  • Multiple-bite histories
  • Cases involving children
  • Shelter or rescue behavior cases
  • Veterinary behavior referrals
  • Cases involving multiple professionals
  • Cases that have not responded to previous treatment
  • Situations where a comprehensive second opinion would be beneficial

What the Consultation Includes:

  • Review of submitted case history and supporting materials
  • Review of up to five video clips (maximum viewing time of 15 minutes)
  • Review of relevant veterinary records and behavior logs
  • Ninety-minute Zoom consultation
  • Discussion of clinical reasoning, differential diagnoses, risk assessment, treatment priorities, management strategies, and treatment recommendations
  • Written summary of key recommendations

Please note that particularly extensive records or video submissions may require additional review time. Any additional fees will always be discussed in advance.

If you are unsure which consultation service best fits your needs, I would be happy to discuss your case and recommend the most appropriate option.  Send an email to AboutDogsLLC@gmail.com
