Finally get the dog you imagined.
Dog Behavior Modification in Melbourne, FL — for Reactivity, Anxiety & Aggression
Six weeks of intensive, trainer-handled work in Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Viera — designed for dogs dealing with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or behaviors that feel out of your control. I do the heavy lifting, then hand you a dog you can actually live with.

Walks became something you dread.
You’ve tried the harnesses. The YouTube videos. Maybe another trainer or two. And nothing has actually stuck.
- You adopted a rescue who came with baggage you didn’t know about.
- You had a puppy, life got busy, and now you’re dealing with reactivity, anxiety, or aggression that feels like it came out of nowhere.
- You’ve tried other trainers, YouTube rabbit holes, every harness on the market — nothing sticks.
- You’re exhausted. Your dog is stressed. You’re starting to wonder if your dog is just broken.
Your dog isn’t broken. You just need the right approach — and someone willing to do the heavy lifting with you.
Imagine this.
You clip on the leash and feel… calm. Not that familiar knot in your stomach. Just calm.
Your dog walks beside you — maybe not perfect, but manageable. Another dog passes. You both keep moving. No scene. No embarrassment. Just a normal walk.
Friends come over and your dog greets them like a civilized member of the family. You actually enjoy having people in your home again.
You finally have the dog you imagined when you first brought them home. The companion. The adventure buddy. The good boy (or girl) you always knew was in there.
A six-week behavior modification partnership, built in four phases.
I handle the hardest part first. Then I hand you a dog you can live with — and the skills to keep them that way.
Intensive Foundation
I do the heavy lifting through trainer-handled sessions. Your dog goes home every evening. You watch progress happen in real time. Months of work compress into weeks because every repetition has precise timing and clear communication.
Skill Transfer
Now we bring you in. Private coaching sessions where you learn exactly what I’m doing and why. You practice with guidance. You ask questions in real time. By the end of this phase, you understand the system — and you can run it.
Real-World Proofing
We take everything into your actual life — your neighborhood walks in Melbourne, your backyard, the parks and pet-friendly spots in Palm Bay and Viera. Your dog learns these skills don’t just work in training. They work everywhere.
Independence + Lifetime Support
By week six, you’re on your own. But I’m not disappearing. You get an annual tune-up every year and text or call any time, for the life of your dog. You have a trainer in your corner. Forever.
Built for reactivity, anxiety & aggression.

Real-world practice across Brevard County
We train in the actual environments your dog needs to succeed — your Melbourne neighborhood, your backyard, parks in Palm Bay and Viera — not just in a sterile training room.
Customized training milestones
Your plan is built around YOUR dog’s specific challenges, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Unlimited support during your program
Text, call, email, or WhatsApp whenever questions come up. You’re never waiting until the next session to troubleshoot.
Detailed maintenance plan
You’ll know exactly what to do after graduation to keep the progress compounding.
Lifetime trainer support
Call, text, or email when questions come up. For the life of your dog. No extra fees.
Annual tune-up every year
A yearly check-in to refresh skills, address any drift, and make sure you’re both still thriving.
The TRANSFORM PromiseResults guaranteed. Period.
You follow the plan. You do the homework. We work together. And if your dog doesn’t hit the milestones we set, we keep working — at no charge. Training is a partnership. When you show up, I show up harder.
Miss a milestone? We extend your program automatically — no questions.
Still not there? You get an additional session on me.
If we still can’t get there together, a full refund — that’s the promise.
Dogs transformed. Owners transformed.
I can’t thank Tonya enough! Walks used to be stressful because my dog would get so worked up at the sight of other dogs. Tonya was patient, calm, and showed us how to stay relaxed and confident. She’s patient, encouraging, and made training fun. Highly recommend her!
Tonya did a fantastic job creating a custom guide for Bella. She was incredibly understanding of Bella’s reactivity and provided excellent strategies for managing her anxiety. She treated Bella with such kindness, and her training instructions were clear and easy to follow. I’m looking forward to booking more lessons with her in the future.
When I signed up for online training with Tonya, I wasn’t sure it would work with my 10-month-old Siberian Husky, Dallas — especially virtually. He was jumping on everyone, wouldn’t come when called, and would literally take food right out of the kids’ hands. But it actually worked. Dallas listens now, he’s calmer around the kids, and I feel confident handling him instead of stressed all the time.
