Behavior support (Ericeira + Mafra)
Calm safety plan first — so care stays predictable
If your dog is working through resource guarding, separation anxiety, or reactivity, we can set a calm plan first so daycare, boarding, pet sitting, and walks stay safe and steady.

What this is
A simple plan that protects everyone
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all “training package.” It’s a practical, calm plan that keeps handling consistent and reduces risk during care. We focus on clear rules, predictable pacing, and the right environment choices.
Step 1
Quick behavior intake (your notes + patterns)
We identify triggers and “what makes it worse.”
Step 2
Safety rules + handling protocol
So visits and transitions stay predictable.
Step 3
Care decision
Clear yes/no for daycare, boarding, walks, or pet sitting.
Common needs
Resource guarding, separation anxiety, reactivity
Resource guarding
We set safe feeding/chew rules, management boundaries, and calm handling so the dog doesn’t rehearse conflict.

Separation anxiety
We focus on environment choice, transition rituals, and realistic care options that reduce distress — not “just push through.”
If in-home is better: Pet sitting →
Reactivity
We use calm routes, distance, and predictable handling. If the dog isn’t ready for groups, we keep it 1:1.
For structure: Dog walking →
