Behavioral Rehabilitation Center
The ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center in Weaverville, NC, is the first permanent facility dedicated to rehabilitating extremely fearful, undersocialized dogs, often victims of cruelty, neglect, or puppy mills. Their intensive behavior modification program prepares these dogs for adoption through partner shelters nationwide.

Thank you for being kind, patient and brave enough to help a fearful dog.
I work one-on-one with people and their dogs. I specialize in helping fearful dogs who need to build confidence. These dogs may fear new things, people, other dogs, crates, car rides, being left alone, walking on a leash, going up/down stairs, etc.
I work remotely by exchanging emails and/or phone calls. I may ask for a short video of your dog performing a certain behavior (example: playing with another dog). If you can’t provide video we’ll work around it. I reply to emails/calls as promptly as possible. There is no limit to the number of emails/calls we exchange.
I charge $20 a week or $75 a month (Venmo, PayPal or check) payable at the beginning of the week/month.
