101-FD Dog Behavior Consultation - MH

101-FD Dog Behavior Consultation - Virtual

Behavior Consultations address the "why" of your predicament and provide a "how to modify" guide for behavior problems.  Our Virtual Consultations happen over the phone or on Zoom or Facetime. We'll discuss your dog's history and the undesirable behavior, talk through your goals, and explain how to modify the behavior. This session includes a write-up of behavior modification suggestions and applicable resources.

The date of 12/31/25 is only a placeholder. Once you have registered, we will contact you to coordinate the appointment day and time. 

Consultations are one hour. There are no refunds within 48 hours of the appointment. See refund or transfer details for more information prior to 48-hours. 

101-FD Separation Anxiety Get Started Package

Does your dog panic when you leave them alone at home? Their distress may be expressed as persistent vocalization, house-soiling, destruction, or more subtle behaviors like excessive drooling, panting or pacing. However it's expressed, your dog's panic response to alone time is stressful for dog and handler, often limiting lives radically.

Marin Humane's Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, Marisa Walker, is here to help you and your dog! She uses a gentle and panic-free process of systematic desensitization. No crates, no food puzzles, no punishment. All training is done in your home, both virtually with our trainer and on your own with her clear instruction. Our shared goal is that your dog learns that alone time is safe.

How Separation Anxiety Training Works

• We start with a free 15-minute phone call to learn about you and your dog, and to answer questions about the training protocol.
• If your trainer determines separation anxiety training could benefit your dog, we invite you to register for our Separation Anxiety Get Started Package.
• The package starts with a virtual initial assessment, done via Zoom.
• We create five training plans per week for you and your dog, for four weeks.
• Each week we repeat our virtual assessment to see your dog's progress.
• Most cases of separation anxiety are not solved in four weeks. You can renew in packages of four weeks each as many times as you need.

Your Commitment

• During training you manage your absences so your dog is never left alone.
• Follow training plans on your own and write notes for your trainer four days a week.
• Schedule a live Zoom session with your trainer once a week.

Take the First Step

Sign up for a short Zoom call with our trainer before registering for this package.

106-RD Reactive Dog Get Started Package

Would you like to walk your dog without the stress associated with barking and lunging at other dogs? If so, your journey begins here. Managing and working with reactivity requires a solid understanding of the underlying causes of the behavior. The Reactive Dog behavior consultation series helps you discover the basis for reactivity in your dog. Furthermore, it provides an appropriate environment where you can practice learned exercises in a safe and supportive environment.

The Reactive Dog behavior consultation services are held at the Marin Humane Novato campus. Included:

• A review of your dog's history
• 75-minute evaluation and consultation
• Behavior modification plan with core skills to practice
• Two 45-minute private training lessons
• Final assessment to ascertain the best “next steps” for you and your dog

The customized final assessment addresses the best path forward: perhaps a reactive dog class, additional private training sessions or another group training class. We’ve got your back!
