Canine Counseling
We're so happy you found us!
Canine Counseling is currently rooted in Smyrna, GA, where I’ve been honoured to support dogs and their families across the Atlanta region. Very soon, I’ll also be welcoming clients in Lincoln Square and the surrounding neighbourhoods of Chicago, bringing my science-based, force-free training approach to the Midwest.
My methods are grounded in compassion and behavioural science - never punishment, never force. The goal is not only to nurture your dog’s mental and emotional wellbeing, but also to equip you, their humans, with the tools and confidence for long-term success.
I work with dogs of all ages and backgrounds, from playful puppies learning the basics to adult dogs navigating challenges such as anxiety, compulsive behaviours, or reactivity.
I am a Certified Behavior Consultant - one of only 16 in the state of Illinois - and registered veterinary nurse with a passion for all things canine.

What People Are Saying
I’m so grateful for the amazing families who’ve trusted me with their pups. Here’s a glimpse of their experiences, and you can read even more 5‑star stories on Google!
"Frankie with Canine Counseling is simply the best dog trainer! She helped me train two therapy dogs. I don't think there is any dog training issue that she cannot problem solve. She is genuine about safely and effectively training with lasting and generalized results across all settings. I don't know what I would do without her expertise, patience, and support."

I am currently wrapping up services in Georgia while preparing for an exciting move to Chicago later this summer.
If you’re in the Lincoln Square area (or nearby Chicago neighbourhoods), I’d love to hear from you! You can join the waiting list today, and I’ll reach out on a first‑come, first‑served basis once I begin accepting new clients.
Not nearby? No problem! I also offer virtual training sessions to families across the entire state of Illinois, so support is just a click away, wherever you are.
If you’re a current Georgia client, please continue to use the email address above so I can support you through this transition.
