Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be located in Wallingford to work with Lenny?
No! Because sessions are conducted entirely online, you can book Lenny Paquette from anywhere in Connecticut or across the country.
Are virtual sessions as effective as in-person visits?
In many cases, they are more effective. Pets are frequently on their "best behavior" (or shut down) in a clinic or when a stranger enters their home. A virtual session allows Lenny to observe your pet’s true behavior via camera in a stress-free setting.
What equipment do I need?
Just a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection.
Behind every reactive or anxious pet is an animal that deserves to feel safe—and an owner who deserves to feel hopeful again. Don't wait for the behavior to escalate. Start a conversation with Lenny Paquette today and take the first step toward a more peaceful home in Wallingford.
