Dog Training & Cat Behavior Services
Science-Based. Animal-Friendly.
Alana Stevenson helps clients resolve cat behavior, dog behavior, and dog training problems using humane methods. She has over 20 years of professional experience in animal behavior and positive dog training. She is Elite Fear-Free and Low-Stress Handling Certified.
Dog behavior consults, cat behavior consults, and dog training are available online or in-person, depending on location.
Online Dog Training & Cat Behavior Consults
Online consultations with Alana provide the same behavioral support and training guidance as her in-person services, but at a lower cost with more flexible scheduling.
Online dog behavior, cat behavior, and dog training consultations are held via FaceTime, Google Meet, or Zoom. Other platforms can be used. For behavior consultations, clients are sent a canine or feline behavior questionnaire to complete. Video clips are also requested for a more thorough assessment and evaluation.
Dog Training Methods
Alana Stevenson does not use leash corrections or punishments such as scolding or aversive collars such as shock or e-collars, pinch or prong collars, or choke chains. To learn more about her methods, see Dog Training & Cat Behavior FAQs.

I first met Alana Stevenson while Director of the Bancroft School of Massage Therapy Small Animal Program. I was so impressed with her commitment to animals and knowledge of animal behavior that I hired her to teach in the program as an instructor. Alana has great insight into working with animal behavior issues and fabulous gentle training methods…”
