The Cooperation Canine team are fear-free certified dog behavior consultants and trainers. Our mission is to educate dog owners using science-based methods and training best practices to ensure a cooperative and loving life together.

Dog training that puts the human-canine relationship first

We’re here to educate humans about dogs. Your dog has an abundant capacity for emotion. Understanding that breeds empathy and will empower your relationship with your dog leading to sustainable behavior change.

Experience true behavior change with fear-free training and applied behavior techniques.

As certified behavior consultants and professional dog trainers, we teach much more than sit and stay. Our passion is showing people how to change the emotional responses of their dogs. Once we understand what’s at the root of the issue, we can begin to change their responses through applied behavior principles and positive reinforcement. 

Are you struggling with your BFF? We're here to help!

Fear-free dog behavior services provide coaching and collaboration for pet owners, shelters, rescues, and veterinary professionals, ensuring a positive, stress-free environment that fosters trust and well-being for every dog.

How We Can Help Your Pet Dog

These evaluations are required for dogs experiencing high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress as well as aggression (dog or human-directed), leash reactivity, resource guarding, and complex behaviors. After the initial evaluation, we’ll schedule follow-up sessions to work on behavior modification.

Awesome for dogs of all ages, these sessions are designed to help you understand the basics of dog learning, our Choice/Response Communication Training methods, and marker training. In addition to the basics, we work on: walking nicely, greeting manners, four on the floor, patiently waiting for their food, and staying in a designated spot during human meal time.

We get it. Life can be hectic. We will work 1:1 with your dog to develop the skills or behaviors you’d like to see. Once they’ve been established, we’ll transfer the cues to you so you can be consistent at home.

Shelters & Rescue Resources

Not sure if a dog in your care is appropriate for adoption? Perhaps they need some specialized training before they’re ready for a forever home. We work with organizations to determine the best path forward for dogs in their care.

How it works >

Increase a dog’s adoption potential through behavioral modification. Our trainers are able to help rescue organizations at a reduced rate. We also have a 501(c)3 nonprofit, UnShelter Me to provide ongoing support after adoption.

We understand your dog's behavior

It doesn't really matter if you are trying to get your dog to walk nicely on a leash or trying to convince her the delivery man is not going to kill anyone.

 

What we are incredibly good at is explaining what elements of behavior are in play and how you need to respond to your dog to resolve the issues.

PROFESSIONAL. CERTIFIED. INSPIRED.
