Professional Dog Training & Behavior Consulting | Hudson Valley, NY

Private Coaching With A Behavior Consultant

Our Private Coaching programs, led by certified Behavior Consultants, are designed to help you understand your dog’s behavior, reduce stress, and build real-life coping skills.

Expert Help for Dogs Struggling with Fear, Anxiety, Aggression & Reactivity

Dogs with behavior challenges aren’t being “bad”—they’re doing their best to cope with something that feels scary, overwhelming, or unsafe. You’ll work one-on-one with a behavior consultant who specializes in complex behavior cases. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful, customized plan that empowers both you and your dog to move forward with confidence.

Program Snapshot:

  • One-on-one coaching with a behavior consultant
  • Personalized training plans tailored to your dog’s behavior and environment
  • In-home or virtual sessions available
  • Collaborative Coaching Trello board for between-session and after-program guidance

This Program is a Great Fit If:

  • Your dog shows fearful or aggressive behavior toward people or other dogs
  • You’re seeing leash reactivity, barking/lunging, or resource guarding
  • You want help navigating triggers and building real-world coping strategies
  • You’ve worked with other trainers but need deeper expertise
  • You’re committed to a kind, humane training approach based in science and empathy

“We came to Instinct Dog Behavior & Training after a biting incident with our dog. Our coach was extraordinarily informed and kind as she walked us through our options. To have someone as compassionate as her help us navigate an incredibly stressful situation was exactly what we needed and helped us make the best decision for our family. Would highly recommend reaching out to them if you need assistance of any kind.”
