Applied Behavior Analysis & Intervention
These sessions are designed to address fear, reactivity and aggression in dogs. Though some basic obedience might be taught in the course of the treatment plan, the main focus of the lessons are to address the dog's underlying emotional issues and help with behaviors that fall outside of regular obedience training. These lessons are done exclusively by Christi Kirby-Baron, CDBC, CPDT-KA, IAABC-ADT, NADOI (1145/C)
- Pre-payment is required for the full intake and planning session. This session is similar to seeing a health care or mental health professional for the first time. You will be able to give me information and ask questions.
- Full Intake Interview, history and fact gathering, discussion and assessment
- Answer questions you may have about what the treatment process will entail
- Working up a detailed Functional Analysis of behavior and Intervention Plan designed to address your dog's personal needs
- Estimated time committment and resources needed for you to work through your plan
- Discussion of prognosis variables
- Immediate help with management recommendations
- Your committment to the training plan and ability to follow through with lessons has an immeasureable impact on the process and the need for additional training time. While there is no real way to predict the number of lessons you will need, once you commit to working though your plan with me, some of the resouces you will have available include:
- Providing information to your Veterinarian to aid in your dog's treatment and care with his/her medical team.
- Email and Text Message support
- In-person lessons at the training center or at another location if deemed appropriate by the course of the treatment plan
- Zoom or FaceTime lessons
- The ability to have me consult with your Veterinarian, Groomer, Dog Walker or other professional, should they be willing to collaborate on your dog's behavioral needs
- Video review and feedback
- Please note that paying for the above intake package does not guarantee that we will handle your case. Should we determine that your case needs more specialized care from a veterinary behaviorist or other professional, you will be given a refund of money paid, less a consultation fee of no more than $50.
