Behavior Consultations for Your Canine Companion

Behavior consultations focus on understanding the root cause of a dog’s behavior, not just the symptoms. Each session is tailored to the individual dog and household, looking at communication, stress signals, environment, and daily routines. The goal is to create practical, humane steps that improve safety, reduce stress, and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their people.

In Home Behavior Consultation

(1–3 hours) — $200

A hands on, in home assessment focused on your dog’s behavior in their natural environment. This includes observation, discussion of concerns, body language analysis, and a customized behavior plan with practical steps you can start immediately.

Video Behavior Consultation

$150

A structured remote consultation conducted in three parts intake review, live video observation, and follow-up guidance. Ideal for clients who need flexible support or are outside the local area.

Clinical Behavior Assessment

$300

A comprehensive evaluation of behavior concerns, including detailed history review, structured observation, risk assessment, and written recommendations. Designed for more complex cases requiring in-depth analysis and documentation.


Boarding Options

At The Misunderstood Canine, we aim to provide affordable options and structured care for dogs who need more than traditional boarding, as well as support for families navigating travel, life transitions, or difficult behavioral situations. This includes dogs who are simply staying for vacation care, dogs going through transitional periods, and dogs who may be moving toward rehoming and need stability and assessment before next steps are made.

Standard Boarding

$500 Per Week

This service is for difficult dogs who require an experienced handler in a structured, controlled environment. It is designed for dogs who may not thrive in traditional boarding due to reactivity, fear, overstimulation, or lack of prior structure. Each dog is managed based on their individual temperament and needs, with emphasis on emotional regulation and safe handling. This option is suitable for both vacation stays and temporary care requiring experienced support.

Board + Train

$800 Per Week

This program is designed for dogs who need guidance around reactivity, fear-based behavior, over-arousal, impulse control, or general lack of structure. During their stay, dogs receive individualized handling and behavior-focused sessions tailored to their needs. The goal is not only to provide care but to begin creating clarity, better coping skills, and improved behavioral responses within a structured and controlled environment.

Pre-Rehoming Assessment

$150 Three Day Stay

This program is designed for dogs who may be moving toward rehoming and need structured evaluation before that decision is finalized. We evaluate triggers, stress responses, social behavior, and adaptability while providing consistent handling and routine. Families receive insight and guidance to help determine whether rehoming is appropriate and, if so, what type of placement would best support the dog’s long term success.

We believe dog care should be affordable for everyone so ask about our payment plans.
