Regardless if it’s day training or client coaching, here’s what to expect when working with me.
Initial Consultation
These initial consultations are 90-minutes long, allowing me to get to better know you and your dog, review your intake questionnaire, ask follow-up questions, and understand your needs, goals, and priorities. You will also leave your consult with suggestions for management or training that you can implement immediately.
Comprehensive Well-Being Profile
This profile looks at four core areas of animal well-being—physical, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive—so that we can see where your dog might need additional support.
Personalized Training Plan
Training plans vary in content depending on you and your dog’s needs, but in general they include sections on:
- Management: Practical steps to set your dog up for success and prevent unwanted behaviors.
- Training: Clear, step-by-step training exercises tailored to you and your dog.
- Enrichment: Suggestions for improving your dog’s overall well-being, based off of their Well-Being Profile.
- Behavior Analysis: If we’re working on behavior concerns, your plan will also include a behavior analysis section for identifying the root causes of specific behaviors and mapping them to your goals.
- Resources: Supporting handouts, data-tracking sheets, and other tools to aid your progress.
Support
Between-session support is available for asking questions, troubleshooting, or whatever else you might need help with.
