DOG BEHAVIOR & COACHING
WHO WE ARE
Dogology Behavior Consulting specializes in addressing complex behavior issues in dogs by focusing on the underlying causes of challenging behaviors. We offer expert guidance and support to pet guardians navigating difficult situations with their dogs, using progressive, science-based training methods.
Our services are available digitally, providing remote support to clients worldwide. We have particular expertise in working with sporting and performance breeds, hyperactive dogs, and high-intensity, high-drive puppies.
With 20+ years of experience working alongside top experts, I've had the pleasure of dedicating my life to understanding and improving the lives of our canine companions.
Competing in dog agility has been a passion of mine that taught me the importance of teamwork, patience, and the joy of celebrating every small victory. Throughout my career, I've had the honor of sharing my life with a diverse group of dogs, each breed with its unique traits and challenges.
One of my greatest strengths is creative problem-solving. I specialize in developing programs tailored to each dog's needs and fostering a harmonious and happy relationship between dogs and their guardians.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Behavior Struggles
Working through phobias, fear, or anxiety with your dog can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. We offer support and guidance, using proven science-based, ethical techniques to help reduce your dog’s anxiety, and thereby, reactions. By addressing the underlying causes and triggers of your dog’s anxiety, we create a customized training plan that redirects fearful responses and replaces them with calm, confident behaviors.
Aggression & Reactivity
Is your dog struggling with frustration, reactivity, or aggressive behavior? We specialize in addressing a wide range of aggression issues, including fear-based aggression, territorial guarding, resource guarding, leash-related aggression, and aggression directed toward humans or other dogs. Through tailored behavior modification plans, we provide step-by-step guidance to help you understand your dog’s triggers and manage their responses. We aim to reduce aggression and improve your dog’s overall behavior and well-being, which in turn makes your life easier.
Dog Sports Competition
Whether you're involved in agility, obedience, scent sports, or bitework, we help optimize your dog’s performance by identifying and correcting any issues that may be holding you back. We develop customized training plans tailored to your dog’s unique strengths and challenges, providing strategies to manage stress, maintain focus, and enhance overall performance. With targeted support, we aim to boost your dog’s success and bring out their full potential in any sport or discipline.
Hyperactivity & Over-arousal
Is your dog acting impulsively and lacking self-control? We can help manage hyperactivity and over-arousal through structured training routines, impulse control exercises, and strategies that promote calm behavior using consistent, positive reinforcement. Hyperactivity often shows up as constant movement, difficulty settling, and an inability to focus, while over-arousal is a heightened response to specific triggers like people, other dogs, or environmental changes. Our customized programs address these challenges by providing your dog with the tools they need to self-regulate, stay focused, and remain calm in everyday situations.

Testimonials
“I started working with Bobbie at a seminar 5 years ago and have been hooked ever since! The information and techniques that she shared were spot on. My dog, Raven, and I have since gone on to earn our UKI IAC and CSS titles. I now have a 14-month-old puppy and am teaching him the same techniques in order to start his agility career off on the right foot. Learning from Bobbie and the rest of the Brain Camp crew has helped to make me a better agility handler, trainer and teammate. ”
—Melissa
“I did Bobbies Got FACE 1 Class. My dog has a habit of going into the explosive red zone very quickly around agility equipment. Bobbie had a lot of helpful suggestions of how to change things to make my dog more likely to be successful. The games we played were similar but different to what we had previously played. Understanding how the dogs brain works has allowed me to better understand how these games – especially the pattern games, work to change the internal state of my dog rather than just focusing on the outer behaviours. This means that I can help my dog to understand how to modify their brain responses before they go over the top and therefore keep them in a better state of mind. ”
— Beverley
“Got Face is a great class! I have an older dog that goes from zero to over aroused in a nano second. So, I was definitely looking for classes to help with arousal manipulation for my younger dog to avoid similar issues. The relaxation techniques and pattern games are great ways to help with bringing arousal up and then back down. Additionally, building resilience and confidence is addressed. This class is useful for the performance dog as well as the well rounded pet that can be taken anywhere and fit in. It’s great to have these skills in my toolbox to grow and build over time.”
— Ginger
“Bobbie is such an amazing Behavioral trainer. She has helped my dog Radar so much. He was afraid of people and would try to run away. With the help of Bobbie, I am able to take Radar to agility practice and stores with less fear. ”
