I guess I should have mentioned - My business is training companion animals, primarily dogs and cats, to be the best companions they can be for their owners. This often involves making the animal more comfortable in the home and the environment/lifestyle of the human -- the behavior part often includes changing the emotional state of the pet. There is often much discord and unhappiness when I am brought in, and I work to keep the pet in the home, reduce the stress of all involved, and leave everyone feeling better in the end. I use very kind and pleasant methods for both pet and human; no force or pain is used. It's one part family counseling, one part personal trainer or life coach, and one part problem-solving, plus a lot of knowledge about canine and feline body language, species specifics, and current science on animal training.
