BYOD Dog Behavior:
Bring Your Own Dogs
Laura Vena is a UW-AAB Certified Animal Behaviorist, Certified in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington, focusing on reducing stress, increasing fulfillment and improving relationships.
Need help working on a challenging behavior? I will identify the cause of the behavior and guide you through activities, techniques and approaches to improve that.
Looking for new, fun activities to do together? I will create a customized itinerary to satisfy your dog's unique needs and make your interactions more fun. We also offer outings for hands-on guidance in adventuring with your dog.
"Behavior is communication. If we listen carefully, it provides us with a map to what our dog needs. Once we crack that code, we increase fulfillment, reduce problematic behavior and improve our relationship."
—Laura Vena
