Virtual Dog Behavior Therapy Consultations and Coaching Are Even Better if You Have a Fearful, Anxious, or Aggressive Dog, Eliminating the Stress and Anxiety For You and Your Dog That Often Comes With In-Person Training With a Strange, Scary New Person (Behavior Consultant or Trainer) Triggering Your Dog’s Fear, Anxiety or Aggression.
During your initial online virtual dog behavior consultation, I will:
Go through a thorough behavior and medical history of your dog.
Break down each significant incident to the behavior(s) of concern.
Discuss the goals and concerns to develop a behavior modification plan for you and your dog.
Provide answers to all of your questions.
Discuss safety and management strategies for you to implement.
Review any relevant video footage that you have sent me.
Introduce behavior modification concepts and/or training skills. (In some cases, we will start hands-on training together during the initial consult, BUT sometimes the entire consult is used to figure out what is going on and why the dog is displaying the behavior they choose to display. I also answer all of your questions and start developing safety and management strategies as the first line of defense.)
When teaching you behavior modification protocols and/or training skills, I may share instructional videos with you first; then, I will coach you step by step after you understand.
During follow-up sessions, I will:
Get updated on your dog’s progress or regression.
Review videos of training and practice sessions that you have submitted.
Continue guided hands-on coaching of protocols and/or skills we left off with.
Introduce new protocols and/or skills.
Explain your goals and homework until our next session (if needed).

DO VIRTUAL DOG BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS, LIVE COACHING, AND TRAINING ACTUALLY WORK?
“Does online learning and consulting/coaching work? YES! Today you can earn a college degree online. There is nothing you can’t learn online, especially with Virtual, Real-Time Video Behavior Consultations and Live coaching.
Today more professionals are using a virtual setting to safely and effectively conduct consultations. Veterinarians, Doctors, Psychologists, Life Coaches, Counselors, and Dog Behaviorists are just a few of the many professionals conducting Virtual Real-Time Consultations with huge success.
I have found that Virtual Real-Time Video Behavior Consultations, Live Coaching, and Training are as effective and often times more effective than in-person consultations. It’s more convenient to learn in the comfort of your own home. It is also much more affordable, sometimes up to 70% less expensive than in-person consultations.
Even before COVID-19 had impacted the world, many people thought that the only effective way to get help was to have someone come to their home. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have worked successfully with clients from all over the world, having incredible success.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do Online Virtual Behavior Consultations and Training Actually Work?
I have found that Online Behavior Consultations and Training are as effective and often times more effective than in-person consultations. Even before COVID-19 had impacted the world, many people thought that the only effective way to get help was to have someone come to their home. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have worked successfully with clients from all over the world. Today Veterinarians, Doctors, Psychologists, and Counselors are just a few of the professionals conducting online virtual consultations with huge success.
Q: Should my dog see a Dog Behaviorist, Certified Behavior Consultant, or Dog Trainer?
Private trainers and group training classes that use positive-based methods are excellent for teaching foundation behaviors like “sit,” “lay down,” and “come when called” and helping pet parents learn how to deal with simple behaviors like jumping and begging and communicate with their canine companion. However, if your dog has a problem with severe behaviors (aggression towards people or other dogs, separation anxiety, fearful behaviors, etc.) that requires a behaviorist or a certified behavior consultant, then it’s important to see a professional who is Certified and has extensive education, training, and experience in animal behavior such as Mr. Bangura.
Q: Do I need a referral from my veterinarian to be seen by the Behaviorist and Certified Behavior Consultant?
Yes. We are Certified Behavior Consultants, which is highly specialized. Behaviorists and Certified Behavior Consultants typically require a Veterinarian referral to be seen. Due to the high demand for our services and the specialized nature of our work, You will need a referral from a licensed Veterinarian.
Q: What types of methods do you use?
As a Nationally Certified Behavior Consultant, Mr. Bangura uses various evidence-based scientific methods when working with behavioral problems, including (but not limited to) antecedent arrangement, environmental management, response prevention, substitution, differential reinforcement, along with desensitization and counterconditioning. The goal of behavioral modification is to prevent the dog from engaging in problematic behaviors while working to change the underlying emotional states that drive the behaviors. All methods will be explained in detail during the appointment and demonstrated whenever appropriate. Mr. Bangura will never use methods that will cause your dog to experience fear, pain, or intimidation.
Q: What is the cost of a behavioral consultation appointment?
People are often surprised at how reasonable behavioral consulting fees are given Mr. Bangura’s education, experience, and level of personal attention that he gives to each case. The initial 2-hour behavior assessment and consultation cost is $295, and $195 for a 1-hour follow-up appointment. Although usually unnecessary, In-Person Consultations are available at my location for an additional $200 and at your home for an additional $300 fee.
Q: How many follow-up appointments will my dog need?
The number of appointments depends on the dog and the nature of the behavioral problem(s). As an “average,“ most people need anywhere between 1-3 follow-up appointments.
Q: How do I set up and prepare for a behavioral consultation appointment for my dog?
Please see the steps below to schedule your behavior consultation with Mr. Bangura.
Fill Out a Request For Behavior Consultation Form
Make Payment and Select your Day and Time for Your Behavior Consultation.
Fill Out the In-Depth History and Behavior Questionnaire
Q: Will you come to my home for the appointment?
Initial Assessments and Behavior Consultations are done via “ZOOM-Like” video conference. We use the DOXY platform, a telemedicine HIPPA-compliant video conference portal that is 128-bit encrypted for security. After your initial behavior consultation, you and the behaviorist will determine if further follow-up is best done via video conference or in person. Most behavior problems can be addressed without coming to your home, but they may be needed in some cases. We will do what will work best and is most convenient for you and your dog. Mr. Bangura has been conducting video conference behavior consultations since 2016, well in advance of and before COVID-19. In many cases, Mr. Bangura has found that real-time video consultations are as effective, if not more effective, for creating change in pets. In addition, Mr. Bangura can charge less, making his expert services more affordable to others, and it allows Mr. Bangura to help more people that he otherwise would not be able to help. There is an additional $200 fee for in-person consultations at my location and an additional $300 fee for at-home in-person consultations. In-person appointments are very limited.
Q: How much time will I need to work on my dog’s behavior plan daily?
During the initial appointment, Mr. Bangura consults with the client, and together they design an individualized behavioral plan based on realistic goals, expectations, and time resources. Instead of devoting large blocks of time each day to training, Mr. Bangura gives clients exercises and activities they can incorporate during daily interactions with their dogs. Some behavioral modification training can be accomplished in as little as 20-30 minutes daily. There are multiple approaches to working with behavioral problems, and you and your Behavior Consultant will work together as a team to find the best approach for you and your dog.
Q: Will my dog need behavioral medication?
Mr. Bangura is not a veterinarian and cannot prescribe behavioral medication. However, Mr. Bangura will work hand in hand with your dog’s veterinarian, who may prescribe behavioral medication, if needed, to be used in conjunction with a behavioral management and modification plan.
Because some behavioral problems may have medical causes, it’s good practice to get a clean bill of health from your dog’s veterinarian before a behavioral consultation appointment. This is especially true if the behavior is new or something that has just recently surfaced. As a result, we require that you get a written referral from your veterinarian to be seen by the behaviorist and behavior consultant.
Q: Do you guarantee that my dog will be cured?
It takes time and patience; that being said, 98% of our clients report they are thrilled with the results. Animal behavior results from complex interacting factors, including genetics, home environment, early socialization history, client compliance, and more. As a result, Mr. Bangura cannot guarantee the outcome of your dog’s treatment plan. To do so would be unethical and misleading. However, many dogs make good improvements through a combination of behavioral management, behavioral modification, and owner education. Mr. Bangura is a highly sought behaviorist with a very high success record.

MOST EXPERIENCED TEAM OF DOG PROFESSIONALS IN ALL OF ARIZONA
KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN SEARCHING FOR DOG TRAINING IN PHOENIX AND SCOTTSDALE. FOR INSTANCE, WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU ASK WHEN INTERVIEWING DOG TRAINERS IN ARIZONA?
Have they attained National Certification as a Certified Behavior Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainers Through the Certification Council For Professional Dog Trainers?
Do they have many excellent Google Reviews? Are their reviews local or combined with other franchises to inflate their reviews? Make sure you see local reviews of the training company in your city.
Are they a massive facility with ten or more amateur inexperienced dog trainers just churning out dogs for a profit?
Do they offer a “Free Evaluation” disguised as a SALES PITCH? Trainers in High Demand Are Paid For Their Time. Remember the adage, “Nothing In Life Is Free.”
Who exactly will be your dog trainer?
What are their education and experience?
How long has the company been in business? How long has the local franchise been in business if it is a franchise? Phoenix Dog Training Has Been in Business for over 30 Years
Do they use punishment or compulsion? No dog needs to experience fear, pain, or intimidation to learn and be trained.
What kind of tools and methods do they use? Do they punish and use harsh methods? Do they punish harshly with shock collars, choke collars, or prong (pinch) collars?
DO THEY ADVERTISE THEMSELVES AS A DOG BEHAVIORIST WHEN THEY ARE NOT? DOG TRAINING PHOENIX HAS A DOG BEHAVIORIST SPECIALIZING IN CANINE COGNITION.
There are only two kinds of Animal Behaviorists, An Applied Animal Behaviorist who has almost a decade of education in animal behavior and a Veterinarian Behaviorist who, after Veterinary School, does a 3-6 year internship or training program in behavior with an emphasis on understanding the underlying disease states that can affect behavior, prescribing psychotropic medications.
Be very cautious of other trainers who claim to be dog behaviorists. Above all, ask if they have a Master’s Degree in Animal Behavior. Firstly, you will find that most canine trainers only have a high school education.

DO NOT!SEND YOUR DOG TO A DOG BOARD AND TRAIN IN PHOENIX
We Feel Sending your pet away for training is probably the worst type of training for your dog. In addition, most pets experience significant separation anxiety when taken away from you and their home. Similarly, being left in a kennel facility with other anxious, barking, and crying canines is even more psychologically harmful to your pet. Above all, your canine’s problems are at home with you. You are the one who needs to learn as much as your pet.
Low-Quality Large Volume Companies and Big Facilities
Try to avoid large dog obedience training companies with big facilities in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the Metro Valley. First of all, they have many amateur dog trainers. Some facilities have up to 20 dog trainers working for them.. Good Dog Training Az Companies will have the owner, a senior head trainer, and a lead trainer at most, as we do at Phoenix Dog Training. Phoenix Dog Training Dog Obedience Trainers have decades of experience. They are not new inexperienced trainers like large facilities often employ. These large facilities pump out and churn out thousands of dogs.
Big Chain Pet Store Trainers
Similarly, for people that go to the big box, big chain pet stores for dog obedience training in Phoenix and Scottsdale. These Big Box Dog Training Programs Tend to be about Volume. PDT is about Quality.
