Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately I can not provide this guarantee. No one can. While many problem behaviours can be eliminated, some can't due to many factors that are outside of our control. That said, I will diligently work with you to reduce any problem behaviour as much as possible. 

I DO NOT use punishment as a way to resolve problem behaviours. I focus on positive reinforcement, training, environmental optimization, counter-conditioning, and redirection to reduce problem behaviours.

In short - no. I have basic knowledge of dog behaviour and training, but have focused my career specifically on cats. If you are having issues with your cat behaving aggressively towards your dog, please message me and we can discuss your situation.

Packages include an initial 60 minute video session, and two 20 minute follow-up video sessions done 2 and 4 weeks after the initial session. 

After each session you will receive an email outlining our discussion and what our goals are for the coming weeks. 

Additional follow-up sessions can be purchased if it is still regarding the same behaviour problem. If it has been more than 6 months since our last session, or there is a different behaviour problem, a new consultation package may be necessary. Contact me for details. 

No. I will send you a link to a secure site where we will have our session. There is nothing for you to download or install, but you will need to have internet access.

You can, however I will not be able to do any screen sharing during our session, so using a computer or laptop with a camera and microphone is ideal. 

We will discuss the problem behaviour, identify potential causes, and then work together to create a plan to help reduce or eliminate the behaviour. 

If there are multiple people in your house, then having the entire family at the session is ideal. That way we can all discuss the problem and work together to find a solution that works for all of us. 

At this time I am only able to accept e-transfer as payment. E-transfers can be sent to catnursejocie@gmail.com

Unfortunately I am unable to offer payment plans. The full cost of the consultation package must be paid in full before the initial consultation.
