How is Pack Animals
helping you?

Walks with my dog are calm, until they aren’t. Sometimes he’ll lunge and bark at people or dogs, and make a scene. But other times he’s just chill and has no problem. I don’t get it!
buuble-stroke-3
It’s totally natural to feel frustrated, especially when behaviors appear to be inconsistent. On Pack Animals, our positive reinforcement dog trainers and veterinary behaviorists will help you learn about your dog’s psychology and teach you simple yet effective steps you can take to limit the likelihood of a reaction.

I feel like I’ve spent so much money on my dog’s food, but she’s just so picky! The first few days might be fine, but then she will give her bowl one sniff and then walk away.
buuble-stroke-3
Diet and nutrition are common sources of stress amongst dog guardians. Addressing this situation on Pack Animals will tap into insight from canine nutritionists, positive reinforcement dog trainers, and money consultants. These professional can provide a well-rounded perspective.

 I love my dog with all my heart. She’s perfect and I’m beyond thankful to have been so lucky. She sleeps during the day, is comfortable staying home alone, and walks quite well on leash.
buuble-stroke-3
Dog guardians who are fortunate enough to have a well-adjusted and confident dog may feel inclined to just go with the status quo, but there’s always opportunity to level up your perfect pup and build your proactive skillset. Pack Animals can help you think of the situations that you have not considered

It’s impossible to take my dog to the veterinarian! We have been avoiding his annual checkups, and I’m worried about what might happen if he really does have an emergency.
buuble-stroke-3
Fear, Anxiety and Stress behaviors are amongst the top reasons why dog guardians do not seek regular care for their dogs. It also makes for a more costly visit when a dog needs to undergo anesthesia to be evaluated. On Pack Animals, Fear Free certified veterinarians, veterinary behaviorists, and positive reinforcement dog trainers can equip you with effective ways to address this.

It would be nice to be able to go out without my dog sometimes, but if I try to leave for even 5 minutes, she will bark and whine and start tearing up anything she can find
buuble-stroke-3
Separation Anxiety is a very common concern amongst dog guardians, especially after the pandemic, and can make it hard to balance your own needs and your dog’s needs. Positive reinforcement dog trainers on Pack Animals can help you understand why your dog is experiencing anxiety and how to manage the arousal level so it can remain in a healthy range when you leave.

My dog is my best friend but I’m so worried that I can’t afford to keep her. Feeding her has gotten so expensive since I keep hearing how bad kibble is, but I’m not sure how long I can afford the fresh food options.
buuble-stroke-3
 There is a significant amount of fearmongering and misinformation spreading across social media and advertising about kibble. On Pack Animals, veterinary nutritionists and money psychologists can help you navigate the decisions of what to feed your dog based on your dog’s needs and your budgetary considerations.

asker 6buuble-stroke-1buuble-stroke-2
When did it get so hard to figure out where to get a dog from? There are so many breeders, and websites, and shelters and rescues. It’s overwhelming trying to figure out what works for me.
buuble-stroke-3
It’s true, there are numerous options nowadays which also means there are numerous pitfalls. On Pack Animals, dog trainers, shelter and rescue volunteers, and ethical breeders will help you learn what to look for when evaluating the sources. This is the most critical decision, otherwise you may experience a lifetime of health expenses and inadvertently support unethical practices.

My neighbor keeps suggesting that I foster a dog, but I just know that the minute I bring a dog home, I’ll fall in love with it. I’m not ready for a dog yet, so I don’t want to foster.
buuble-stroke-3
There is a lot of confusion about what goes into fostering a dog and what the role of a foster is. On Pack Animals, you’ll learn from shelter and rescue volunteers about ways to reframe your mindset about fostering and address common concerns voiced by first time fosters.

I turned to Pack Animals for help figuring out where to get a puppy from. It's the most important decision in the process and I would have been so confused otherwise! While I wait to bring home my puppy, I'm using Pack Animals to prepare. There are MANY questions I hadn't even thought of, but I know the answers to because of the proactive knowledge nuggets and lessons.

Andrea is wonderful to work with!  She makes great suggestions that are clear and easy to follow. Even though Ralphie is already well trained, she made practical suggestions to help with barking and too much excitement when the doorbell rings or when strangers walk by the house. I would highly recommend her and Pack Animals!
