Canine Behavior Consulting
Live a happier life with your dog through reinforcement-based methods.
The Benefits of Reinforcement-based Methods:
- Teach your dog to do what you want, instead of what you don’t, such as barking, digging, destructive chewing, jumping, pulling on leash and resource guarding.
- Achieve great, long-lasting results. Training based in positive reinforcement is fast – and fun – for both you and your dog.
- It’s the most exciting, effective, and humane way to help your dog live happily with you.
One-on-One Coaching
We work with you and your dog at every appointment, in the places where you need the most help.
- Address problems such as pulling on leash, jumping up, and ignoring you when called.
- Improve aggression issues like lunging, reactive barking, snapping, and biting.
- Help your dog adjust to a new baby in the home & set everyone up for success.
- Build confidence and trust with your dog through safe, pain-free methods.
We will never use or recommend electric shock, prong collars, choke chains, leash jerks, hitting, or intimidation as part of any plan.
About Wesley Hawkins, CDBC
Wesley Hawkins, CDBC
Owner/CEO | CDBC | Family Paws Parent Educator
I decided to study dog behavior and training because I wanted my two-year-old Labrador to behave better. I found the work so fascinating that I started Puget Sound Puppers in 2010 and graduated from the Animal Behavior College (ABCDT) in 2012. I became a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant in 2020. In 2022, I became a licensed Family Paws Educator. I enjoy teaching people how to have a better quality of life with their canine loved ones through the dog-friendly use of reward-based approaches.
