Behavior Support for Dogs & Cats

Alana Stevenson offers professional behavior consultations and humane dog training instruction in-person and virtually. Virtual consultations are by FaceTime, Google Meet, Zoom, or Skype. She provides dog and cat behavior consults and regularly services areas in New England, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. She has helped clients on dog and cat behavior issues throughout the US, including California and New York. She has assisted clients in Japan, Canada, Jordan, Morocco, Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Indonesia, Turkey, Malawi and South Africa.

The length of dog and cat behavioral consults vary according to the severity of the behavior problems and the number of animals involved. In-home animal behavior consults are about 3 hours. Virtual consultations are one and two hours with one-hour follow-ups.

All animal behavior consults and dog training lessons are scheduled by appointment. Deposits are required to hold in-home appointments and are non-refundable. Virtual consultations are pre-paid upon scheduling.

Philosophy & Methodology

Alana Stevenson embraces a compassionate and holistic approach to training animals and resolving dog and cat behavior problems. She teaches her clients how to manage and prevent problematic behaviors using humane methods. She does not use physical force or compulsion, or shock, pinch, prong, or chain collars (also called “correction-based collars”) for teaching and training dogs.

Alana’s training philosophy is that dog and cat “training” is teaching, and teaching dogs and cats, or any animal, should be based on trust, kindness, mutual respect, compassion, and understanding.
