Behavior + Relationship Guidance
For Dogs With Big Feelings
Barking. Lunging. Growling. Retreating. Shutting down. Struggling around dogs, people, handling, new environments, or everyday life.
Reactive responses toward dogs or people. Fear, overwhelm, complex behavior concerns, bite incidents, Animal Control involvement, and court-related cases.

Our Approach
We don’t begin by asking:
“How do we stop the behavior?”
We begin with:
“Why is this happening?”
Led by Adia, a canine behavior professional with nearly three decades of experience, this work is centered on helping guardians understand the dog in front of them and build a safer, stronger way forward together.

THE WORK HAS CHANGED
I’m Listening…
This Isn’t Traditional Dog Training
After 26 years of teaching and training dogs, Adia stepped away from long-term training programs.
Today, the focus is on teaching the human.
Understanding your dog’s history.
Recognizing patterns.
Looking at health and environment.
Creating management.
Strengthening relationship.
The why before the how.

Guided Guardian Session™
History + Management
90 Minutes | In Person at RWC
Every behavior case begins here.
Before we ask your dog to do anything differently, we need to understand what has brought you both to this point.
Together, we’ll look at:
Behavioral history
Reactive responses toward dogs and/or people
Environment and daily life
Relationships and communication
Known triggers and patterns
Previous training or interventions
Current management
Health changes that may influence behavior
What you’ve already tried
What needs to change right now
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the dog in front of you and an initial management path forward.

Sometimes Behavior Starts Somewhere Else
Behavior does not exist separately from the body.
Pain, digestive discomfort, mobility, sleep, medications, nutrition, hormonal changes and other health factors can influence how a dog experiences and responds to the world.
For some dogs, the next step may be developing their Health Story™ or Wellness Blueprint before we move further into behavior work.
That isn’t delaying the work.
That is part of the work.Sometimes Behavior Starts Somewhere Else

If More Guidance Is Needed
Guided Behavior Sessions
Not every family needs ongoing sessions.
After your History + Management visit, Adia may recommend focused guardian coaching to help you apply what you’ve learned in real-life situations.
These sessions may include:
Reading and responding to your dog’s communication
Environmental setup and management
Working through reactive responses
Building safer introductions
Guardian handling skills
Relationship and trust-building
Practical strategies for everyday life
Maximum commitment: four guided sessions.
All regular behavior sessions take place at Rewilded Wellness Center™.
We do not offer in-home behavior sessions, unless the behavior is home based.
WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAS
ALREADY HAPPENED
Has Your Dog Bitten Someone?
If Animal Control has become involved, you’ve received a summons, your dog has been accused of a serious bite or attack, or you’re preparing for a court-related matter, this requires a different level of assessment.
Canine Incident Case Review
A structured two-part behavioral case review that includes an RWC consultation, required in-environment assessment, and comprehensive written report with professional observations and recommendations to support your case.

Know the Dog in Front of You.
Your dog is not a list of behaviors to eliminate.
There is a history behind what you’re seeing.
There is communication happening.
And there is a relationship worth understanding.
Let’s start with the why.
