Behavior Case Support

Alana Stevenson has over 20 years of professional experience in dog behavior, cat behavior, and dog training using only humane methods. She provides one-on-one behavior support for animal shelters, rescue staff and volunteers, and other trainers and behaviorists who may be struggling with a dog’s or cat’s behavior or need training assistance.

In-Person Behavior Evaluations

On-site behavior evaluations are available for animal shelters and rescues within traveling distance. Alana will directly observe and evaluate the dog or cat, work with staff and volunteers, and create a behavior modification or training plan.

On-site training support can include counter-conditioning coaching, leash handling and positioning techniques, body language recognition and demonstration, low-stress feline handling, and adoption recommendations, including home type and adopter profile.

Online Behavior Support

Online dog and cat behavior support is provided through video platforms such as FaceTime, Google Meet, and Zoom. Support includes video review of behavior issues or training challenges, email correspondence, and written recommendations.

Alana will work with animal shelters, rescues, and veterinary teams that share a commitment to humane, science-based animal care and training.
