WELCOME TO CANINE/FELINE BEHAVIOR COUNSELING!
We Have Some News for You……..
Last Updated October 13, 2024
Closure of CF Behavior Counseling:
On Nov 4th, what is now CF Behavior Counseling will celebrate its 20th anniversary. This anniversary will be bitter sweet.
The past few months have brought increasingly unrealistic expectations and demands from several clients. My need to repeatedly and stringently reinforce reasonable boundaries has been a serious emotional strain. That strain is adversely affecting my physical health.
After long and serious consideration, I have decided to close CF Behavior Counseling.
In order to ensure continuity of care, this closure will occur gradually and systematically. As noted in my previous posting, effective October 14, 2024, I will no longer be able to accept any new feline clients.
I will continue to accept new canine clients until December 1, 2024. After December 1st, I will no longer accept any new clients, but continue to provide training and supportive services to current clients in good standing, until we have completed their agreed upon course of behavioral modifications. During this time, boundaries will be strictly enforced! ANY violation will result in immediate termination of services. (See below posted policy changes).
I will continue to offer on-line classes and in person presentations through the spring of 2025. At that time, I will determine the exact full closure date.
I want to thank those that have supported me through the past 20 years and helped me bring better and happier lives to hundreds of dogs, cats and their owners.
To those that have prompted this decision, I urge you to consider that all of us-human and animal-are connected, and one person’s actions have a ripple effect on all that is around them. Think outside of yourself for the benefit of your animals and the world around you.
Policy Update:
Due to the abuse of my leniency regarding phone calls, texts and emails, the following policies will be effective immediately
1. Phone calls or text messages will NOT be answered for any reason after 4pm, or on Wednesday or Fridays.
2.Requests for assistance with training issues not report during the initial consultation, or for animals that I have not seen in 4 months or more will REQUIRE another consultation-either in person or virtual depending on the issue.
3. All follow up calls , and texts or emails that require more then 5 minutes to respond to, will be charged $40 for the first 30 minutes and then $40 per every 30 minutes after. This applies to ALL cases and issues.
4. I am not a registered rescue and cannot “take in” dogs. I can no longer be involved in any re-homing of animals in any way.
Our phone/office hours are:
10am-4pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturday and Sunday 1-4pm.
CLOSED Wednesdays and Fridays.
