Case Advisement with Client
Advice on a specific case, for consultants AND their clients
In this virtual service, I work with both the professional who is handling the case as well as the pet owner and the pet. The goal here is not to take over the case myself but rather to guide and teach the professional who will function as the “lead” on the case. I will help you develop a plan, meet with the clients, and more.
In the 120 minute first session, I assess the case with both the client and the professional in attendance. I will create and review the personalized behavior modification plan, “next steps,” benchmarks, and more as needed by the professional. The professional will be the one to work directly with the client on a day-to-day basis, working through the behavior plan. On-going support is available as frequently as needed.
Case materials must be provided for my review at least 48 hours prior to our first session, including initial intake, synopsis of plans and assignments, relevant videos, etc. Please email me to discuss the case in advance of the session!

Shadowing
Sit in on one of my real, virtual cases.
For prospective or current behavior consultants looking to gain a little more experience, learn more about a particular behavior, experience virtual sessions, or simply see how my process works by “sitting in” on my real clients and discussing real cases. Scheduling depends on client permission, and case availability, sessions may last from 60 to 120 minutes and may be any of my client services. Your camera and mic will be muted to avoid distraction for clients but will be un-muted once the client has logged off.
Includes:
