Consultation
Video Consultation: $60 fee
In-person Consultation: $80 fee
Consultations with a Mindful Trainer at home or online and usually last 1 hour. This is your opportunity to share your goals, questions, and concerns with a trainer.

Constructional Aggression Treatment Procedure
Each C.A.T. and Reverse C.A.T. is $40 additional for the training session fee.
C.A.T. (Constructional Aggression Treatment): This is a behavior modification practice that helps dogs who are leash aggressive, or fear-based leash aggressive, learn how to be calmer and less agitated by seeing other dogs on leash and, in turn, more responsive to their handler.
Reverse CAT: This practice is similar to the regular C.A.T. procedure; however, it addresses and treats dogs who are excited and leash frustrated (rather than aggressive or fear-based aggression) to be less excited and reactive to more responsive to their handler instead.
Hours & Location: R/CATs are held between 9am-12pm on Sunday mornings at Balcones District Park (near the Domain in North Austin).
Address: 12017 Amherst Dr, Austin, Tx, 78759.
