Dog Behavior Consulting
in
Oakland
Oakland life comes with a lot of stimulation—and for some dogs, that’s just too much. If your dog is reactive, unpredictable, or just not responding to the things you’ve tried, you’re not alone.
I’m Sara Scott, a longtime Oakland-based behavior consultant specializing in tough cases: reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and more. With over 25 years of experience, I help dogs—and the people who care about them—feel more in control.
Reach out and tell me what’s going on. I’ll help you build a training plan that makes real change possible.
