How Online Behavior & Training Consults Work
Virtual cat behavior, dog training, and dog behavior consultations are 1-3 hours and conducted via FaceTime, Google Meet, or Zoom. Other platforms may be used. Clients complete a canine or feline behavior questionnaire. Video clips of the home environment and any behavior problems are requested. Follow-up sessions are scheduled as needed.
Note: Video and image submissions may be used by Alana Stevenson for educational or professional purposes.

Client Testimonials
Emma & Charlie
“We’ve definitely had success using the methods you gave us. Emma spends a lot more time now on laps or on the bed instead of under it. Charlie and Emma are doing great. They will walk up to each other and touch noses or rub their cheeks together.
We finally got to the point where they can be together at night, so we are both back to sleeping in our normal bed (hooray!) Emma is finally using the steps to get up onto the bed.
Thanks so much for all your help!”
~ Elizabeth Grimm, Emma & Charlie, Massachusetts
Chimie
“Prior to our two hour phone consultation, Alana gathered detailed information about Chimie through a questionnaire and a few videos I sent over, all of which gave her a clear picture of Chimie and what the problem areas were.
Alana provided constructive feedback on not only how to help Chimie with her fear issues, but also gave us insight as to reasons why Chimie behaved the way she did. This was most beneficial as it enabled us to change our perspective on her socializing ability and helped us approach the training in a gentle yet effective manner.”
