Behavioral issues are the leading cause of pet surrender (see here). Many families facing these challenges also struggle to afford training - especially behavior modification.
I offer low-cost group classes and private lessons at Northland Animal Welfare Society every Thursday and Sunday. If cost is a barrier or you cannot make it these days, please reach out. We’ll work something out.
