Fearful or Anxious Dog Training
in
Berkeley
Berkeley can be a sensory overload for dogs who are already on edge. If your dog is reactive to sounds, avoids people, or struggles to feel secure even at home, you’re not dealing with disobedience—you’re dealing with anxiety.
I’m Sara Scott, a behavior consultant with 25+ years of experience helping fearful dogs build the skills they need to feel safe and grounded. I help Berkeley families understand what’s really going on and how to support their dogs through it.
Reach out—I’ll help you build a plan that makes everyday life feel manageable again.
Why Working with a Behavior Specialist Matters
Every dog’s behavior problem has a reason, and every household is different. Quick fixes don’t work because they don’t address what’s actually driving the behavior. I work virtually with dogs across the full spectrum — aggression, reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding — building a customized plan around your dog, your home, and your life. You get ongoing support, real feedback based on how your dog actually behaves, and a clear path forward. That’s what changes behavior.
Let’s Fix What’s Not Working
Not sure what’s going on with your dog—but pretty sure it’s not “just a phase”?
Whether you're dealing with reactivity, anxiety, or out-of-nowhere meltdowns, you’re in the right place. Every dog has a reason for what they’re doing—and I’ll help you decode it. I bring 25+ years of experience, deep understanding of behavior science, and a no-BS approach to helping people and dogs move forward.
Tell me what’s going on below. I’ll help you map out what’s possible—and how we’ll get there.
