Your consultation starts with a call or e-mail to Kindness Canine:

  • Call 262-569-1050 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  to schedule an appointment.
  • Complete and return the behavior history questionnaire which will be sent to you when your appointment is scheduled.
  • Meet with a professional behavior consultant or trainer. This meeting will take 1-2 hours. The cost of your initial session is $135.00 exclusive of any items recommended to support your program.

  • Schedule follow up visits as appropriate. Follow up visits are billed at the rate of $90.00 per hour.

Our goal is to assess and evaluate your dog's needs and empower you to become self-sufficient in meeting them. Because unmet needs cause behavior problems in all species, your personalized behavior modification and training program will be tailored to your dog's specific needs, and will typically include:

  • Lifestyle Changes. Sufficient exercise and an appropriate social structure are important for meeting the physical, social and emotional needs of your pet. They can also serve to reduce the stress and anxiety that may lead to behavior problems.
  • Communication. Much of a dog's "language" involves the body. You'll learn to interpret and respond to your dog's body language. You'll also learn to more clearly communicate your needs to your dog.
  • Nutiritonal Assessment. A diet that is deficient in essential nutrients can also contribute to behavioral issues. We believe that optimizing your dog's diet is the best way to maintain a healthy emotional state which is conducive to good behavior.
  • Tellington TTouch. This method of working with animals uses gengle hand motionsl and directed movement exercises to improve a dog's ability to focus and learn. It has been shown to be a valuable tool for resolving many behavior issues. Please go to TTouch.com/ for more information on this method.
