Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How much are their services?
It depends on what you want to do or need help with. My 6 week class is only $145 only! (Private lessons are more than $25 avg. on group lessons, which is typical. A private could be 30 ($50) or 60 minutes $90 for an hr I think? Val is 100% worth it!

How come you don't have any price listings on your site? Why would I enroll or even begin the process of in rolling if I don't know what to expect in prices
Not the owner, but a happy customer ☺️ If you follow them on Facebook or start the enrollment process online, you can see the prices. Agility is typically $130 for a 6 week course, 1 hr per week.

Our dog is receiving behavioral therapy and individual training with Valerie at Pet Behavior Help. Over just 4 training sessions and at home daily practice, we have observed significant improvement in our ability to train him, his ability to focus, and a reduction in impulsiveness. We have appreciated Valerie’s wisdom in implementing strategies for the dog owner and the pet to ensure success! We look forward to continuing his training long-term at BPH.
I started working with Valerie last month to help address my dog PJ’s separation anxiety.

I started working with Valerie last month to help address my dog PJ’s separation anxiety. She’s learning that acting out and clawing at physical barriers are ineffective at getting what she wants (me and/or food) and that the key to all things good is calm, polite behavior. I appreciate Val’s thoughtful training strategy and simple, logical exercises that I can incorporate in our daily routine. Feeling hopeful!
PBH has been a huge breakthrough in assessing the behavioral issues of my dogs. We meet every two weeks at my home to review exercises given and access new ones. Valerie has been a total Godsend to us.
Amazing coaching (from a Nat'l level pro and behavior specialist, Duke degree). Very good puppy classes. Amazing agility for dogs, if you want to just have fun (and compete or not). Also owner has private lessons too and specializes as well in problematic cases.
