The behavior
deep dive
virtual coaching
Nervous-system-informed behavior support for
sensitive, reactive & high-drive dogs
You’ve probably already tried things. More exercise. More training. More enrichment.
And maybe some things have helped — but you still feel like you’re missing something.
Why does your dog seem constantly “on”?
Why do they struggle to settle?
Why can they do something perfectly at home and completely fall apart around a trigger?
More training isn´t always the answer.
You don’t need more things to try. You need to know what actually matters for your dog.
That´s where the Behavior Deep Dive comes in.
A deeper look at your dog and a clear plan for what to do next.
A 75-minute virtual live consultation designed to help you understand the bigger picture behind your dog’s behavior.
We’ll look beyond your dog´s individual behaviors and consider the whole dog and the goals for your lifestyle and unique home situation.
Then I’ll help you connect the dots and prioritize what actually matters.
Every Consultation is personalized
to you and includes:
Comprehensive behavior assessment
We’ll look at your dog’s history, daily life, environment, triggers, patterns, and previous training. Includes review of up to three short behavior videos (if you have any)
Nervous-system & stress assessment
We’ll explore factors that may be contributing to overarousal, anxiety, reactivity, frustration, or difficulty settling.
Lifestyle & enrichment guidance
We’ll look at exercise, enrichment, rest, routine, and recovery — and whether your dog is getting the right kind of support.
Training & management priorities
Instead of giving you a giant list of things to work on, we’ll identify what to focus on first.
Personalized written behavior plan
You’ll leave with a practical roadmap and clear next steps you can actually implement.

“Bianca has an intution for dog behavior unlike anyone we worked with. Her work with us transformed our dog, teaching her to manage her big emotions and regulate her nervous system.”

Is this for you?
The Behavior Deep Dive may be a good fit if your dog is:
Sensitive
to people, changes, or sounds and easily overwhelmed and overstimulated
Reactive
towards dogs, people, or specific situations
Struggling to settle
“always on” on struggling to switch off, constantly looking for something to do
A little about me
I’m Bianca, professional dog trainer, behavior consultant, yoga teacher, and nervous system nerd.
I’ve been working with dogs and their humans for over a decade, helping with everything from reactivity and anxiety to fear, overarousal, and more complex behavior challenges. I also work alongside vets and other pet care professionals when behavior is part of the bigger picture.
My approach is a little different. I blend behavior science with nervous-system-informed support. I want to understand what’s really going on with your dog, not just try to stop the behavior we don’t like.

faq
Is this just a regular dog training session over Zoom?
No.The Behavior Deep Dive is primarily about understanding the bigger picture behind your dog’s behavior and creating a clear plan forward.
I’ll still show you practical exercises and things you can start doing with your dog, but this isn’t a traditional obedience-focused training session.
If you’re looking for a more traditional training approach, I’m always happy to refer you to a trainer who specializes in that.
What happens after I book?
After securing your virtual session in my calendar, you will receive an email invite with the meeting link. If you don´t see anything in your inbox within 24 hours, check your junk folder or reach out out to me directly: [email protected]
What if I’ve already tried everything?
You’re definitely not alone. Sometimes doing more and more of the same thing isn’t what’s needed.
We’ll look at what you’ve tried, what helped, what didn’t, and what might be missing so we can figure out where your energy is best spent.
Do I need to live near you?
Nope! The Behavior Deep Dive is completely virtual, so I work with dog guardians anywhere.
Will one consultation fix my dog’s behavior?
It depends. “Fixing behaviors” is not what I´m promising. Behavior change takes time.
The goal of the Deep Dive is to help you understand what’s going on, stop guessing, and know where to start. For some dogs, that may be all you need to move forward. For others, ongoing support may make sense. If you are looking for ongoing support, I offer monthly 1:1 coaching containers as well.
What if my dog has serious aggression or a bite history?
Please let me know about this when you book. I’ll review the situation and let you know whether the Behavior Deep Dive is an appropriate starting point or whether I’d recommend a different level of support. In many cases I will refer you out to a vet behaviorist.
