If you’re new here, start with one of the intake options below. Each offers a different level of support to help you choose what feels like the best fit for you and your dog.

Integrated behavior & wellness Consultation

A whole-dog consultation (60 min) that looks at behavior in context. This session includes a behavior assessment alongside a review of gait, posture, and activities of daily life to better understand how comfort, movement, routine, and environment may be influencing behavior.
​
You’ll leave with ethical, practical recommendations that support wellbeing and create a strong foundation for behavior change.

"We were also able to better advocate for our dog during vet appointments - leading to a pain diagnosis that I don't know would have been possible without Klarissa's expert advice and encouragement."

Behavior focused consultation

A focused consultation (60 min) that looks at your dog’s behavior in context. Designed for situations where a focused behavior scope is a good fit, this session includes a comprehensive behavior assessment with attention to routine, environment, and overall wellbeing.

You’ll leave with clear guidance, next steps you can implement right away, and a plan that fits your dog and your real life.

Investment - $215.00 CAD 
 "It was exactly what I needed after working with multiple other trainers, a veterinary behaviorist and others. I really just needed a fresh perspective from an outsider to help me see what I was missing." 

Written AssesseMent ONly

A whole-dog behavior and wellness assessment provided through written recommendations. This assessment considers behavior alongside movement, posture, and daily life to help clarify what may be contributing to current challenges.
You’ll receive a clear, actionable plan to guide next steps, without a live session.

"Everything they sent was super helpful, giving us a clear path of how to talk with our vet and management tips we can implement at home to increase his comfort. I am so grateful to them, for the content they share, the work they do, and the values they clearly live out."

Still Not sure which option is best for you?

 ​Choosing support can feel overwhelming. A free discovery call offers space to ask questions and figure out which option best fits your dog, your goals, and your situation. ​Discovery calls are brief and focused on fit. They’re not training sessions or consultations.

Did you know?!

Many dogs live with pain that goes unrecognized or undertreated. This isn’t because guardians or professionals don’t care — it’s because pain in dogs is complex, subtle, and often easy to miss.
Some of the most common reasons include:
​
  • Dogs communicate discomfort differently than we expect.
  • Stress can temporarily mask pain, especially in clinical settings.
  • Brief appointments don’t always allow for meaningful observation of movement and daily function.
  • Time and systemic pressures limit how deeply pain can be explored.
  • Our understanding of pain, in both human and veterinary medicine, is still evolving.
  • Pain assessment is rarely taught in depth within behavior and training education..
  • Cultural beliefs normalize slowing down or discomfort as “just part of life”.
  • The myth that young dogs can’t experience pain.
  • Confusion or misinformation about pain management options.
  • The very human discomfort of realizing pain may have been missed

​This is why a whole-dog, context-aware approach matters — and why considering comfort, movement, and daily life alongside behavior can change outcomes.
