DuBay Dog Training and Behavior Consultiung

08/24/2026

**UPDATE: Both spots have been filled! If you're still interested, reach out and I'll add you to my waitlist while it's still short!!

Hi everyone! 😊

I did a little reconfiguration of my client list and, for the first time in about a year, I actually have TWO openings for training and behavior consulting! 🎉

I know I’ve had quite a waitlist for a while, so I wanted to let everyone know in case you’ve been thinking about reaching out but weren’t sure if I was accepting new clients.

For those who may be new here, I primarily work with canine behavior, including things like:

• Basic manners
• Leash walking
• Reactivity
• Anxiety
• Aggression
• And lots of things in between!

My approach is about looking at the whole picture when it comes to diagnosing behavioral issues. I work with empathy and kindness, take into account what might be contributing to your dog’s behavior, and work alongside other professionals (like your veterinarian) when that’s helpful. I also want the plan we create to actually make sense for your entire family and your day-to-day life.

I work with families nationwide, both virtually and in person.

If you’d like to chat about working together, you can book a discovery call here:

And, as always, if you’re not sure whether I’m the right person to help with what you’re experiencing, feel free to message me! I’m happy to answer questions. ❤️

When you update your FB business page name and don't realize there's a typo until later and FB won't let you change it again for 60 days.... 🙃

To all of my new followers, I promise this is a legitimate page! It's just run by one human that does things when she should probably be taking a nap instead 😅

I know a lot of us are taking a deep breath now that the Fourth of July is behind us. So... how did your dog do? Were they were still nervous despite medication? Did they spent the evening pacing, unable to settle? Did you felt completely helpless as the fireworks started going off around your neighborhood?

If that was your experience, you're not alone.

I want you to meet George. ❤️

About a year ago, George's family reached out because loud noises completely overwhelmed him. Fireworks and thunderstorms would send him into a panic, and they felt like they had tried everything they could think of to help him. So instead of trying to force him through his fears, we took a different approach.

Over the winter, we focused on helping George build the skills to truly relax. We created a safe space in the house where he felt secure, practiced decompression and relaxation, and worked alongside his veterinarian to find medication that supported his learning.

This Fourth of July, George SLEPT through the fireworks. No panic. No fear. Just a peaceful snooze in his safe spot. When his family sent me that update I was so proud!!!! They put in so much hard work to get to this point.

So many people are told that noise sensitivities are something you just have to live with, or they're left trying one product after another hoping something sticks. The reality is that there isn't a magic fix, but there IS hope. With the right combination of training, management, and veterinary support, many dogs can make incredible progress.

If your dog had a tough Fourth of July, now is actually the perfect time to start preparing for next year. George's success wasn't built in July, it was built over the winter before the stressful stuff hit.

I currently have a waitlist for private behavior clients, so if you'd like to spend this fall and winter helping your dog feel more confident before next summer rolls around, now is the time to get on the list! I'd love to help!

We had four puppy graduates tonight!!! These kids all grew so much in just four short weeks. From our over-zealous kiddo learning to take breaks to our most shy puppy romping around with all of the confidence in the world! I loved watching them learn. Congratulations everyone!!

As a side note, this is my last class indefinitely. As much as I've enjoyed teaching classes, private training is where my heart is at and I now have the means to do that full time. Thank you all so much for the experience and for trusting me with your pups! ❤️❤️❤️

The next round of Puppy Basics and Socialization starts June 2nd!! I have three spots left in this small and structured class! Come have fun with us while learning in a welcoming environment ❤️ We learn all of the basic cues, learn what socialization means and how to do it appropriately, and learn all about body language together while the pups interact in a controlled setting!

Well friends my concussion has been kicking me in the butt recently. I've had low grade migraines everyday since the 26th. I finally caved and reached out to my neurologist after a week of them and today and tomorrow I'm getting infusions to hopefully halt them in their tracks and let me brain reset. My lovely clients that had appointments with me were willing to reschedule and the amazing Alyssa Bupp will be teaching class for me tomorrow night. Not to mention my parents who are letting me live at their house and carting me around everywhere. They're the absolute best ❤️

I'll be working as little as I can today and tomorrow so I apologize if I don't get back to you immediately. Thank you all for your understanding and support!

We had three little graduates last night! One of our puppers wasn't feeling the best and had to sit out. But everyone did an amazing job! So proud of these little ones and their owners ❤️
