Program details
One of Canine Companion Consulting’s specialties is Separation Anxiety. Separation Anxiety is a very common behavioral concern in dogs. Studies vary, but indicate that up to 20% of all dogs have separation anxiety on some level and account for up to 40% of dogs referred to trainers or behaviorists. Separation anxiety can manifest itself in many ways. Symptoms of separation anxiety can be but is not limited to inappropriate elimination, destroying things within the household, barking, whining, panting and not being able to settle when the pet parent is not present. Some dogs are attached to a particular person and some dogs just need someone or another animal present. Not only can it be extremely stressful for the dog, but also for the pet parents.
How training happens
- Group classes
Program details
We offer a variety of group classes throughout the year, such as Canine Training Basics, Canine College, Agility For Fun, “From Exuberant to Polite Pup”, “Do As I Do”, Loose Leash Walking, Rocket Recall, "Fitness FUR All”, “Mind, Body, Nose”, and Mastering Door Behavior.
- In-home training
Program details
There is no place like home. In-home training allows the Canine Behavior Consultants to observe your dog in their natural environment and cater to your specific needs. Training comes easier to a dog that does not have distractions and is in the comfort of their own home. Let us come to you to help you have a better relationship with your Canine Companion.

Program details
Veterinary care and grooming can be stressful for the dog, pet parent, and pet professionals. Reducing stress and anxiety results in a more productive practice and increased likelihood pet parents will participate in needed preventative and routine care. The Hospital or Salon will become a safer, more productive, and more comfortable environment for all. We have designed a Cooperative Care Program called Happy Handling that can be offered to canines of all ages, either as a group class or privately, depending on the client. We collaborate with the pet parent and pet professional to find out what will work best for each canine companion. We will consult with doctors and groomers to find out what they recommend and are striving for. We work as a team to target the Happy Handling every dog deserves.

The classes are for the humans to learn how to effectively train their dogs with positive reinforcement techniques. The instructors are both very good at what they do and are very helpful. I enjoyed the class and my dog loved going to class, too! I know I will either take another class or get some one-on-one coaching.
Beth and Wayne are so lovely and helpful. They obviously love and care for each dog they come across and it has helped me and my GSD so much. Wouldn't recommend anyone else
Canine Companion Consulting is a great resource! They are wise, kind, and very responsive. I now have an extremely well behaved, well mannered, fun dog that they helped me achieve. We did both individual and group work and found both extremely beneficial! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to train and/or have fun with their dogs.
I have taken several classes with Canine Companion Consulting. All of the classes were great, but my dog and I especially enjoyed the Agility for Fun class. Beth and Wayne were very positive and created a learning experience that was fun and enjoyable, but challenging at the same time. I highly recommend CCC.
