Frequently Asked Questions
What consulting services do you offer for dog trainers?
Lisa Large (CDBC, CPDT-KA, SDC) provides case consultation and mentorship for dog trainers working with behaviour cases that fall outside their current expertise — including aggression, fear, reactivity, resource guarding, and complex histories. This collaborative model helps trainers serve their clients better and grow professionally.
When should a dog trainer refer to a behaviour consultant?
Trainers should consider referring to a behaviour consultant when a case involves a bite history, serious aggression, significant fear or anxiety, or any behaviour that poses a risk of harm. Lisa Large is available for case consultation, co-assessment, or direct referral — depending on what best serves the client and dog.
Do you offer mentorship for new dog trainers?
Yes. Thrive Canine Services provides mentorship and continuing education for trainers seeking to deepen their skills in behaviour science, case assessment, and ethical practice — particularly around complex behaviour cases.
Can you consult with veterinary teams?
Yes. Lisa Large can provide canine behaviour consulting support to veterinary teams dealing with fear-aggressive, anxious, or difficult-to-handle patients, as well as clients whose dogs require behaviour support as part of their overall health plan.
How do I request a professional consultation?
