BEHAVIORAL COACHING

Coaching Options Based on Your Needs

 Need behavior modification support you can trust?

​

Work directly with our specially trained Behavior Therapy Technicians and adjunct trainers, the same team who support our doctors on complex cases.

Our approach is grounded in science, guided by our veterinary behaviorist, and focused on helping you make meaningful progress with your pet. Whether or not your pet requires medical support, our team can help you build the skills needed to reach your behavior goals.

We’ll guide you every step of the way, and if we believe a doctor’s involvement would be beneficial, we’ll let you know.

How Behavioral Coaching Fits Into Care

All new patients begin with a Diagnostic Behavior Consultation, where our team gathers a detailed history and helps determine the most appropriate next steps.

​

Behavioral Coaching is often recommended as part of your pet’s treatment plan and may be used:

  • on its own for skill-building and behavior modification

  • in conjunction with a Psychiatry Evaluation and medical support when appropriate

Your care team will guide you toward the right combination of services based on your pet’s needs.

Structured Programs

Jumpstart Program

Behavior Therapy Technician

The Jumpstart Program is designed for families who would like more hands-on support by allowing our Behavior Therapy Technicians to work directly with your dog in a structured, clinical environment.

​

This program is ideal for clients with limited time or those who benefit from more frequent, structured practice.

​

Bring your dog to our Boulder office and allow our team to build and practice specific skills recommended by your care team. At the end of each session, we’ll walk you through what your dog worked on and provide clear guidance on how to continue that progress at home.

​

While your pet is working, you’re welcome to observe, relax in our space, get work done, or step out nearby.

How it Works:

  • Your pet works one-on-one with a Behavior Therapy Technician to build and practice new or continued skills

  •  Every other appointment includes a progress update and guided instruction for you

  • Designed to provide more consistent practice and accelerate progress

Program Structure:

  • 12 sessions total, typically scheduled 2x per week

  • 30 or 60-minute sessions

  • Packages expire after 8 weeks 

​

Program Investment:

  • 12 x 60-minute sessions: $2472

  • 12 x 30-minute sessions: $1458​

​

​

Packages are scheduled over 6 weeks (2x/week) and expire after 8 weeks​

​

Jumpstart is typically recommended following an initial Diagnostic Behavior Consultation

​

Good Fit For:

  • Dogs who are comfortable working with a Behavior Therapy Technician

  • Dogs able to learn in a clinic environment

  • Families looking for more intensive, structured support
