We work with dogs and their humans on a wide range of behaviors, from establishing the skills that facilitate harmonious relationships to improving challenging behaviors like aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and more. We empower individuals to improve their quality of life and restore joy to their relationships with their dogs using the science of behavior. By helping people understand and confidently respond to their dog’s behavior, we restore hope, unlock joy, and strengthen bonds.
We also support professionals in incorporating evidence-based, data-oriented practices into their work with dogs and their families.
We are proud to be a woman- and queer-owned business.

I was so happy that I choose the dog behavior institute when I got my new puppy, Dash! Not only was the training incredible but the emotional support was exactly what I needed! Puppies are hard and the dog behavior institute made it so easy to teach my puppy what he needed to be a good dog. If I ever get a puppy again, I will absolutely use dog behavior institute! I even took my old, reactive dog to in-person classes and she learned alot! I can't express how helpful this agency is for any dog parents wanting to do the best for their dogs without the use of punishment.

We would highly recommend The Dog Behavior Institute. Stephanie was absolutely wonderful in her training of our Golden Retriever Sunny. Stephanie, is kind and caring and gave us so many lessons and guidance how to handle Sunny. Stephanie understands dogs and the worries that come in raising them. She put our needs and Sunny’s needs in front and showed so much attention and we can’t thank her enough. Anyone who hires Stephanie will be lucky and will be glad they did.
Sincerely
Frank and Hillary

Ran from DBI helped us better understand our dog’s leash reactivity through an easy data collection and gave us the tools to be able to help him socialize safely!
