In person, In and Out Home Real Life Behavior Treatment Program Tailored to your Dog, Yourself and Your Environment where Problems are actually created and occurring 
 

• All behavior problems are evaluated and treated in your dog’s real life environment in your home and on your walks from your own home/apt. building and neighborhood (which varies widely between clients), where they are actually created and happening, and not within an artificial re-creation in a facility which can dramatically alter a dog’s natural, occurring behavior and never virtually, cannot train or treat a dog with behavior problems by describing to you. We thoroughly agree with the American Kennel Club that behavior problems cannot be treated virtually.
   

• I travel to your particular location and take on the travel time, cost and effort - at no additional charge to you.
   

• Due to its crucial nature, all behavior problem treatment is done with Christina Shusterich, not a lesser accomplished employee!

 What is it? What does it include?

I Evaluate your dog where the problems are actually occurring to clearly determine all behavior issues, causes, intensity level of your dog’s reactions, triggers and trigger distances of the problem behavior and to specifically tailor my Treatment Program to your dog, yourself and your real environment, dogs acting radically different in different environments.  Additionally, prior to meeting as part of my evaluation I have you complete my extensive detailed questionnaire regarding your dog’s behavior, as well as ask you to provide a history of your dog, both of which I analyze prior to our in person meeting.  
 

With this extensive diagnostic assessment Evaluation, my Treatment Program is tailored to your dog’s specific problem or multiple problems, to work effectively in your specific living environment and taking into account your lifestyle. Additionally, as part of your Treatment Program Start the optimum setup of your home is created including immediate ways to continuously reduce and treat your dog’s reactivity level, calming your dog on a daily basis to speed treatment and actively engage and occupy your dog by meeting your dog’s natural drives and instincts for exercise and mental stimulation as dogs.  In addition to your Program, very extensive handouts are provided including my behavior modification handbook, you are taught “Dog Speak” - how to effectively read, understand and predict your dog’s behavior (especially aggression) to change it, identify canine stress signals, proper dog handling techniques and body language, ultimate toys and more.

​​My acclaimed Total Harmony Dog Transformation® System is designed to treat behavior problems successfully and as rapidly as possible. I work with your dog directly but you participate in order to ensure your successfully handling of your dog when we are finished, as well as to speed the treatment process by providing you with specific homework to work on in between sessions. It is critical to provide you and your dog with relief as quickly as possible from the behavior problem(s), which tend to completely overwhelm your relationship, your life and also often have very serious real life consequences such as eviction threats, dangerous situations and the potential for giving up your dog. The number of sessions depends upon the behavior problem, whether single or multiple problems, intensity level, trigger number and frequency, beginning existing relationship between dog and client and especially client complying with every aspect of the program and practicing between sessions and is discussed after your dog has been Evaluated. 
The fee per session is $240, 1 hour 10 min
