In the past, we have worked in the traditional method of visiting our clients and providing a behaviour modification plan for the client to implement.  We have found over time that it is not the best method to get effective behaviour change.  We are the experts in dog and pet training and behaviour modification, not the clients or the owners.  We have studied the subtle side of body language and behaviour change and it our clients are learning just as much as their pets.

Leverage technology allows us to maintain follow-up regularly and monitor successes, and prevent stumbling blocks.  You will have regular feedback from us multiple times a week, so that you do not struggle and changes in your behaviour plan can be implemented immediately.

Our complex Behaviour Modification Plans are available as a virtual only program or a hybrid of in-person and online (depending on location- we are located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia so mileage may be charged)

Separation Anxiety Training

We are able to work with clients globally- no need to travel to us

Separation Anxiety related behaviours can be heartbreaking for the family and pet(s) involved.

We have trained with the world’s leading expert on separation anxiety to obtain our certification in separation anxiety.

We can help you find relief in your pet(s) separation related behaviours (such as vocalization, destruction, inappropriate elimanation). We use scientifically proven methods to help desensitize your pet to departures.

Our training is done virtually using simple technology such as Zoom and google sheets.  You will get weekly live reassessments and daily individualized training mssions for your pet.

As each pet has their own behaviour timeline, we cannot predict how long it will take to meet your departure goals, but we will support and help you get closer to your goals while working with us. Separation anxiety training is often measured in months, not weeks or years, as it is complex and as individual as you are your pet.

While we do offer a one time consultation and help setting up your first training session, our most effective training plan is our subscription of 4 week blocks of training (we will work with you daily for 4 weeks, and further on as long as you need).

Our initial consultation and first training mission is $150.00 plus HST

Our 4 week initial training block which includes 5 live Zoom assessments, 4-5 daily training missions/week and daily feedback and support, is $650.00 plus HST

Following 4 week blocks (as long as there is no break in subscription) is $500.00 plus HST

 Scent Detection Classes

 

Front N’Scenter Animal Behaviour & Consulting continues to lead the way in scent detection in Atlantic Canada. We continuously train and consult with industry leaders in professional and sport scent detection, as well as scent detection for enrichment and rehabilitation. Barb also has real world experience. She trained her professional Bed Bug Detection Canine, Camo, from a puppy up to a working detection dog, and is currently training her young springer spaniel, Trout, foundation work for professional detection.

Scent Detection (also known as sporting detection or nosework) is one of the fastest growing activities for dogs and owners. Dog and handler teams mimic the real world of professional detection dogs, but use essential oils as target scents as opposed to prohibited items.

Scent detection is an all inclusive activity.  Dogs of all sizes, ages, and obedience ability.  Dogs with space and reactivity concerns are more than welcome to play this game as the dog and handler teams work individually.

We offer weekly scent detection classes in Dartmouth.  We hope to resume weekly classes in Ellershouse and/or Avonport. Regularly scheduled clinics are held in Avonport, Bridgewater, and Upper Stewiacke.

We are also able to work virtually one on one, or with a group, and are able to accomodate space sensitive dogs.
