About Me

I’ve been working with animals for about a decade now, doing training and behavior modification, enrichment, and daily care. I’ve been lucky enough to meet hundreds of different animals of all species and dispositions, in a variety of settings, and to learn from them all. Each and every one of them has something to teach us!

My behavior work utilizes a “Graded Errorless Approach” with a heavy emphasis on Positive Reinforcement and following the general guidelines laid out by The Humane Hierarchy. I also occasionally integrate some massage techniques when they’re beneficial to the animal’s progress. All of these combined approaches work great for building confidence and socialization skills in anxious animals, training new behaviors, and modifying undesirable ones.

In-Home or Virtual Behavior Consultations

Book an in-home or virtual consultation to learn more about why your animal might be behaving the way they are and what you can do to modify those behaviors. Decrease problem behaviors, build confidence in your animal, or help them to be more social around others. Learn the principles and processes that will allow you to understand your pet better, teach them new behaviors, or modify existing ones.

Build a better life for you and your beloved pets!

“Working with Kevin Gan was a great experience! My husband and I rescued a great dog in recent years, but when we moved to a new house our dog started to show more signs of anxiety and reactivity. When she started nipping at our neighbor and some of our house guests, we knew we needed help from a behaviorist. Kevin was recommended by another client, and we're so glad to have met him. He visited our home to observe our dog, providing valuable feedback and interaction. He provided a ton of tips and knowledge during our home visit, and created a very thorough plan for us to follow when introducing our dog to new people and having guests over to our home. His plan was written and emailed post visit, providing us with a resource to refer to and study. We've followed the plan and our dog has responded so well -- it's amazing! We're much more confident about our dog's interactions and know we can contact Kevin for any behavior-related issues that might arise. We really appreciate Kevin's kind demeanor, professionalism, and guidance, and can't recommend his services enough.”

"Kevin was great! He was very detailed and gave my dog and I a lot of attention and spent time getting to know our situation. He had a lot of suggestions and also spent time writing up a long list of things for me to try with my dog and my concerns. Definitely recommend!"

"Kevin is awesome at what he does! He is thorough and knowledgeable. He helped me understand better how to work with my shy dog. This helped my dog's quality of life to be so much better and made me feel better that I could be proactive."
