Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Dog Behaviour Consultations
What is a virtual dog behaviour consultation? A virtual dog behaviour consultation is a private online appointment to discuss your dog’s behaviour and develop practical next steps. Sylvia reviews your questionnaire and submitted videos before your one-hour Zoom session, then provides written follow-up.
How much does an online dog behaviour consultation cost?
A one-hour virtual consultation with Sylvia Koczerzuk costs $107 CAD. Payment by e-transfer receives a discount, bringing the price to $98.70 CAD. Both payment options include the same service.
What is included in the consultation?
Your consultation includes a pre-session questionnaire, advance review of submitted videos, a private one-hour Zoom appointment, and written follow-up outlining the recommendations and agreed next steps.
What concerns can I discuss?
You can discuss puppy preparation, adolescent behaviour, barking, reactivity, difficulty settling, resource guarding, and challenges in multi-dog households. The session helps identify priorities and an appropriate starting strategy. More complex concerns may require ongoing support.
Can a dog behaviour consultant help online?
An online consultation allows Sylvia to explore your dog’s history, routines, environment, and behaviour through your questionnaire, videos, and conversation. You can receive guidance from home without bringing your dog into an unfamiliar setting. If additional or in-person support is appropriate, Sylvia will discuss that with you.
How do I book my session? Purchase your consultation, choose an available appointment, and complete the Jotform questionnaire. Submit your videos before the session so Sylvia can review them in advance. For the discounted e-transfer option, contact Sylvia before purchasing. ### What videos should I send? Share existing footage or safely recorded everyday moments that help illustrate your concerns. Do not provoke guarding, barking, fear, or conflict to capture a video. Describe situations that cannot be recorded safely in your questionnaire.
Will one consultation resolve my dog’s behaviour? One consultation can provide clarity, practical priorities, and a starting plan. Behaviour change varies with the dog, the concern, and the support needed. Longstanding or complex challenges may require further sessions.
These consultations take place on Zoom and are available to dog guardians across Canada and internationally, subject to appointment availability. Prices are listed in Canadian dollars.
Is ongoing coaching included? No. This service includes one consultation and its written follow-up. Additional appointments or ongoing coaching are separate services.

As your professional I am committed to continuing education.
Long before there were as many formal schools, certificates, and degree pathways available in dog behaviour, Sylvia was already committed to learning. The basis of all the early and present education comes from veterinary behaviourists, applied animal behaviourists, behaviour veterinarians, and other respected professionals whose work helped shape her understanding of dogs, behaviour, and humane training.
She attended the prestigious SF SPCA Dog Training Academy 2000 ( now known as the Dog Training Academy) , studied at Behaviour Works with Dr. Susan Friedman in Living and Learning with Animals. Sylvia is also a Fear Free Certified Professional and has completed further education in advanced behaviour symposiums , hands on workshops (multi species) and certifications in scentwork, enrichment, canine reactivity, separation anxiety, Dynamic Dog (gait and posture assessment), canine arthritis course, and pain-informed learning. Most recently, she is completing her clinical canine behaviour degree (an internationally OFQUAL-qualified CBC).
Sylvia has been helping animals and their people since 1989 where started in veterinary clinic and started learning through U of Guelph (behaviour department) . Over the years, she has worked in veterinary hospitals, shelters, rescues, a farm sanctuary, and private practice. Her work has included dog walking, grooming, group classes, private training, virtual coaching, and behaviour consulting. She also travelled south to assist Hurricane Katrina animal survivors.
What Sylvia loves most is helping people better understand their dogs and showing them how small, thoughtful changes can lead to meaningful progress. She knows that behaviour is not just about training. It is shaped by health, environment, learning history, emotions, and the unique dog in front of you.
That is why Sylvia takes a whole-dog, whole-picture approach. She combines assessment, understanding dog emotions, behaviour knowledge, and practical coaching to help guardians move forward in a way that feels clear, positive, and achievable.
If you are ready to better understand your dog, build confidence together, and create real-life results, Sylvia would love to help.
