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.

Barney loves to sttend the classes and can't wait to greet Beth and Wayne. He (or his parents) have learned so much about the philosophy of fear-free training. He is one happy pup, and we are so greatful for their knowledge and compassion.

We are so thankful to have found Beth and Wayne! They were absolute life savers for us in every way imaginable. It is one thing to be given ideas and instructions on ways to train your dog, but they go the extra mile to make sure you understand the reasoning behind everything and to explain the way your dog thinks, acts, and behaves. We learned so much throughout our 10 sessions, and we found this knowledge and insight to be incredibly valuable. It will make us better dog parents now and in the future. When we came to Beth and Wayne, I was struggling with the idea that I wasn't even sure that I liked my dog. I felt such a disconnect with her, and it was extremely heartbreaking for me as I had lost my soul dog 6 months before we adopted her, and I wanted that connection so badly. I can confidently say that I have since fallen in love with her, and our bond and connection is so deep and strong. I understand so much more about her, and I feel that she has grown to trust us and love us in a way that I never imagined would be possible before. I owe so many thanks to Beth and Wayne! You can tell that they truly care about strengthening the relationships and bonds between owners and their pets, and they are also absolutely lovely people. We enjoyed our time with them so much, and we plan to return for some Agility Classes in the future. We trust them fully, and we highly recommend them!

Our best friend Buddy (how original) was adopted and is a reactive dog. A kitten has been introduced into our house and had to be kept away from Buddy. We also have been having trouble walking him past other dogs, people coming to our house and barking at noises. Beth and Wayne have been patiently working with us for weeks and what a difference. The cat and dog share the house without a problem and we are making great headway with the other issues. So glad we found them!
My husband and I attended the six week session of Intermediate Level training classes with our 2 1/2 year old Belgian Malinois mix; it was a great class! Wayne & Beth imparted wisdom and patience; we made great progress!
