Do you need help with your dog?

The stress surrounding divorce and changes in living circumstances can impact dogs in many ways. It is very common that dogs start behaving differently during hard transitions like going through divorce or a breakup. I routinely help my clients whose dogs are struggling to be home alone, suddenly become very withdrawn, chew up inappropriate things at home, start acting irritated with children, start running away, are reluctant to get in the car, having housetraining issues, perhaps fighting with their packmates or are simply not acting like their normal doggy selves.

I provide online behavior consultations worldwide for all breeds of dogs and cats. As a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant by the IAABC, my methods are up to date with the most current scientific understanding of animal psychology, learning theory and behavior modification.

The programs I give my clients incorporate dog body language understanding, effective and practical teaching methods, ethical environmental management, and creative solutions to difficult family dynamics.

My physical presence is not what changes a dog’s behavior.

Meet Benji and Buddy. Two adorable rescue dogs, one shy and one boisterous. Watch how they both end up relaxed on the couch with me, and one falls off!

Karis Nafte Dog Behavior

“After months of struggling to introduce our two huskies to each other, Karis gave us the tools to read their behaviour and body language. A month of following her instruction have lead to a peaceful home once again. Now they are inseparable.”

Rudi & Hanellie, Cape Town

“I was warned about having two female boxers but I thought I had beat the system 4 years in without incident. When all of a sudden out of nowhere my two girls started attacking each other on multiple occasions everyone else I spoke to said you’ll have to give one away. However, Karis met with us and held our hand through the entire process of allowing our dogs to regain each others trust and becoming the loving pair they once were. She regularly checked in and gave us much needed support and incredible advice. Needless to say our two girls are back together and we are one happy family. Without Karis my partner and I would still be living in separate cordoned off spaces with a dog each. We are so incredibly grateful for not only Karis’s expertise but the kind and gentle way she handled our family crisis. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
