​​Eileen Koval, CDBC, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, MSc brings unmatched expertise to the Las Vegas Valley working difficult, complex behavior cases that many owners believed to be beyond help.  Most of her clients have already gone through multiple trainers who simply thought solutions did not exist for the problematic behavior issues.  

Pet owners may mistakenly think they simply need a "dog trainer" for their dog's behavior problems, but their dog likely needs more than new obedience skills.  They actually need something more -- a behaviorist, behavior specialist or certified dog behavior consultant, who is educated and skilled in both training and addressing complicated behavior issues.  Eileen goes beyond traditional dog training and obedience by looking at the whole dog to identify the "why" behind problematic behaviors.  This enables her to craft cutting edge, personalized solutions unique to you and your dog's needs.  

All of this starts with an initial appointment to learn more about them as a whole and identify the cause(s) of the behavior issues, triggers and exacerbating factors, your goals, their training needs, etc.  While she works both in-person and virtually (all initial first-time appointments are virtual), the virtual aspect offers some significant advantages: accurate firsthand observation of dogs' body language and behavior in various scenarios without the stress or overstimulation of a visitor to the home; teaching skills with a demonstration dog; and maintaining safety with aggressive dogs until safety protocols can be set for in-person appointments.  The information gathered will inform the unique behavior modification protocols that are customized to meet your needs and goals.  Immediate training and solutions will begin during that first appointment.  You will also better understand your dog's behavior and deepen your relationship with your dog. 

 

Behavior modification and training should improve animal welfare and the dog-human relationship, not compromise it.  

We do NOT use shouting, fear or intimidation methods in our training.  We do NOT use painful tools such as shock, prong/pinch collars, noise aversives, choke chains, or leash/collar corrections. 

Do you have a cat, bird, horse, or other pet who needs behavioral help?  Eileen can help with multiple companion animal species' behavior issues.

Testimonials

"Our 7mo old puppy (Gumbo) started resource guarding seemingly out of nowhere. We bought books, did research, watched videos, but still couldn’t figure out exactly what was behind his behavior. We contacted Eileen, and it was the best decision we have made for our puppy so far. Eileen is exceptionally perceptive, and was able to identify what was triggering Gumbo’s anxiety in specific scenarios that we would have never picked up on by ourselves. She is a great communicator, and explains things very clearly. Gumbo’s behavior has completely turned around. After working with her, we feel armed with all the knowledge and tools we need to help our dog excel. We couldn’t be happier with her as his trainer."
