Behavior Consulting for Both Ends of the Leash

Behavior problems create stress for pets and people. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even embarrassed – you’re not alone. (And you’re in the right place!)

Animal Insight specializes in working with pets with Big Feelings: fear, anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. We bring practical guidance, enthusiastic support, a sense of humor, and some serious book smarts to your pet’s case.

Our team is led by Liz MacHaffie, MS Clinical Animal Behavior, CPDT-KA. Liz works virtually with clients anywhere. For those local to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, our skilled training team is available in person as well.

Liz helped us so much!

Our dog (Cosmo) is now happy on walks and it is a fun activity I look forward to again! Liz’s insight is grounded in a deep knowledge of animal behavior and it shows in all she does. She is a joy to work with and we have seen amazing results from her guidance in a short time. I would recommend her to anyone for help with their pets!”

– Crystal and Cosmo

Amy was outstanding

from the moment we met, providing tangible ways for us to build on improving the behaviors she saw in Grace. She made each member of our family an integral part in Grace’s training. I feel we truly have a partner in Amy, and the Animal Insight team, for years to come. Thank you!

– Emily and Grace

Pyper struggled with anxiety

OCD behaviors, and guarding. Liz changed our lives as she taught us how to teach Pyper. Moving forward she is the only trainer I would work with. She follows up, follows through, is so dependable and really helps get to the root of a behavior. We’re so lucky to have found Animal Insights and will be life long clients.

– Katie and Pyper

Ollie and I have come a long way

since working with Amy Crouch. Amy’s patience and explanation about dog behavior really helped me understand what Ollie was processing, and then, tailor my approach to what worked for both of us. I highly recommend Animal Insight and working with Amy.

– Jerry and Ollie
