Pet Behavior Help

Specialties

Pet Behavior Help (PBH) wants to help you enjoy life with your companion animal. We offer a wide range of services designed to teach you and your pet how to live together in harmony.

PBH instructors will teach you how to use respectful, reward-​based methods to modify your pet’s behavior to meet your needs. We believe that an animal trained in a positive, fun way will become a willing partner who is happy to please and obey.

We offer group obedience classes, puppy classes, private behavioral counseling for dogs displaying anxiety or aggression, dog agility classes, rally obedience and more.
