Anxiety Specialist

Watching your dog suffer from anxiety is heartbreaking. Whether it's separation anxiety causing destructive behaviors, fearful responses to everyday stimuli, or obsessive-compulsive habits like excessive licking or tail-chasing, these issues diminish your dog's quality of life. As a dedicated canine anxiety specialist in the San Francisco Bay Area, I use evidence-based methods to help anxious dogs find emotional balance. My comprehensive approach addresses the underlying causes of your dog's stress and behavior through systematic desensitization, counter-conditioning, and environmental management techniques. Working with fearful and anxious dogs requires patience and precision—qualities I've developed through 25+ years of specialized training. Reach out to learn more about customized anxiety relief strategies.
