Arizona’s Dog Behavior Expert — Serving Clients Nationwide - Nationwide
I’m Nikki Finn-Loudenslager, Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC), IAABC Credentialing Director, and author of How to Find Your Compatible Canine. With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of behavior cases behind me, I specialize in helping dogs overcome fear, reactivity, anxiety, aggression and other complex behavioral challenges.
I offer remote consultations nationwide that are personal, practical and highly effective. Most behavior issues do not require in-person sessions, in fact, dogs often make faster progress when they are not overwhelmed by a stranger in the home. My sessions are designed to help you understand the why behind your dog’s behavior, and give you clear, step-by-step strategies that create real and lasting change.
Areas of specialty:
• Reactivity (dogs, people, noises, movement)
• Fear-based behaviors and anxiety
• Resource guarding
• Aggression
• Multi-dog household challenges
• Shelter/rescue behavior support
• Separation-related behaviors
My approach is rooted in modern behavior science and completely force-free. You’ll receive clear guidance, compassionate support and a structured plan tailored to your dog and your household.
If you’re struggling or simply want a better understanding of your dog, I’d love to help.
