DOG TRAINING & BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS
Do you have a hyperactive adolescent dog?
Are you tired of getting dragged down the street by your dog that’s pulling you?
Barking, jumping, pulling, fear, or reactivity – whether it’s basic manners training or more complex behavior issues – reach out for a discovery call. It only costs your time.
I offer training or behavior modifications through enrichment and meeting your dog’s needs. In fact this is something I feel very strongly about, making sure your dog’s needs are met.
SEPARATION ANXIETY SPECIALIST
Are you having trouble leaving your house because your dog barks down the neighborhood? Or destroys the furniture? Do you want to get your puppy started on home alone training?
I know how devastating it can feel to not be able to leave your dog home alone. To feel like you have no life. To not be able to go out with friends or even shopping for groceries.
I can help you – please reach out for a free zoom consultation.
I work online with separation issues and I focus on meeting your dog’s needs, calming and settling behaviors, as well as teaching your dog to feel safe alone.

Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it – here’s what some of the people I’ve helped say:
Emma
Tina is incredibly knowledgeable, nurturing and well-equipped with supportive and attainable next steps tailored to the individual trajectory of the dogs she works with. And importantly, the advice she gives REALLY works. Tina gave me lots of advice on our adolescent Border Collie – things that I could action quickly and with which we could continue to work and progress with.
The empathy and care Tina has for the dogs she works with is inspirational. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Jamie
Tina has been helping me with a Labrador. She could not have been more helpful. Has been incredibly prompt with her communication. And I’m really impressed with her content. Tina has obviously put in an awful lot of time to become as knowledgeable as she is.
Danika
Tina’s knowledge regarding all things dog shines through whenever you talk to her. From general knowledge to specific training, Tina helps in whatever way she can. I have spoken to her on numerous occasions regarding my german shepherd and behaviours and she always has an answer. Highly recommend.
Joanne
Tina is a hugely knowledgeable dog professional – and is so easy to speak to. This doggie rearing is difficult stuff sometimes and Tina has really helped me understand life from my dog’s point of view. Tina has given lots of really practical ways to work with him so that he feels confident and clear about what it takes to live in a people world.

Rescue dogs
These are just a couple of the rescue dogs that I worked with while volunteering in the US. They’ve both left lasting impressions on me and I am happy that they are both in loving homes in spite of the odds being stacked against them. I have some experience with helping settling rescue dogs into homes, and this is something I am also happy to help with.
Rescue dog with complex challenges among other things reactivity and separation issues.
I worked with her while volunteering at the rescue in Pennsylvania and I continue to work via remote consultations with her caregiver across the pond.
Nova
Canine Rescue of Central Pennsylvania, USA:
“Tina’s knowledge of dogs is truly evident in her daily interaction with all breeds at the rescue. She excels in working with animals that are more challenging as it allows her to use the training she has acquired over the years through courses and reading material. She lives and breathes positive training and reinforcement.”
Tony DeSorbo
Board member of CRCPA
Rescue dog in Pennsylvania with a bite history and very misunderstood.
I worked together with others on gaining her trust and we helped her learn that some humans are okay to be trusted.
She has since been happily adopted by a local behaviorist and I get regular updates from her friend and dog walker from the rescue who always believed in her.
