Private Animal Training

Parvene provides private consultations for owners and their pets. Clients are usually seen in their home environment and training is always done with the owner present. The goal is to teach the owner the skills of positive reinforcement so they can use these tools with their animal without the presence of Parvene as coach.

Training of the human animal is always approached with the same kindness as the non-human animal. Owners are set up for success along with their animal teammate. Every owner's individual commitment to working closely with his or her companion is the most important factor in each training equation.

Once the owner learns these simple techniques they are encouraged to continue to develop a trusting and positive relationship with their pet. The goal is for that ever-increasing communication and cooperation to continue for a lifetime.


Behavior Problems
Often a situation is already at a difficult state when Parvene is called in to assist. In these cases clients are usually seen in their home and a program specifically designed for that particular animal and owner combination is implemented.

Steps are taken to maintain the safety of both owner and animal especially in aggression cases. Owners are always dealt with openly and honestly; owners are apprised of risks, prognosis, and the degree of management necessary to keep themselves and others safe.

Parvene will work in consultation with veterinarians or even other behaviorists to assure the greatest success in changing unwanted behavior and building new more desired behavior.
