Consultations

The crucial first step before training (in-person or online). Consultations are thoughtfully designed to cater to a wide range of training needs and behavior issues. Whether you're a new puppy owner or facing challenges with your pet's behavior, I’ve got you covered.

Types of Consultations:

Pre-Puppy Consultation:

My expert guidance starts with steering you to the ideal breed for you based on your lifestyle and preferences. I give the option to go the extra mile by assisting you in assessing specific puppies from a litter, ensuring you pick the one with the perfect character and temperament for your unique needs.

Also included in the consultation is practical information on what you need to buy in preparation for your puppy's arrival. I'll provide you with comprehensive guidelines for welcoming your puppy home, ensuring you're fully prepared for puppy-proofing, potty training, and setting essential house rules. Contact me today to schedule your pre-puppy consultation and make sure you don’t make the common mistake of being unprepared and overwhelmed after bringing a puppy home.

New Puppy Consultation:

Whether you have welcomed a new puppy into your life and are having a hard time with helping them adjust, you understand the need for immediate training, or you’re not sure on the next steps to take, a consultation will be the key to a smooth and successful relationship with your dog.

I provide guidance and support, helping you with everything from creating the ideal atmosphere to understanding puppy care, routine, and training. I ensure that you're fully equipped to embark on your journey with your new family member and create a tailored training program for you.

Behavioral Consultation:

If you're dealing with issues such as incessant barking, lunging, aggressive behavior, or biting, this consultation is the key to understanding and addressing these challenging behaviors.

During the consultation, an in-depth assessment is done to uncover the root causes behind your dog's behavior.

Next, we'll explore the most effective strategies to address these concerns. This happens in two parts:

  1. Based on the risk assessment, we might need to modify the dog’s surroundings and ensure safety measures are in place as a damage limitation strategy.

  2. After identifying the causes of the behavior and managing the surroundings, we're able to create a tailored training plan as the permanent solution designed to address your pet's unique needs together.

With my expertise in behavior modification and an understanding of canine psychology, you are in the best hands. Rehabilitation programs are planned on a case-by-case basis, guaranteeing that each pet receives the customized care they deserve.

Schedule your behavioral consultation as the first step towards transforming your pet's aggressive behavior and creating a safer and happier living environment for all.

Pre-Adoption Consultation:

Dog shelters are packed with lovely dogs waiting to go to their forever homes, and adoption can be a wonderful option for anyone looking to have a furry companion. Unfortunately, lots of people adopt dogs based on looks alone and are unable to make a detailed assessment of the dog’s nature and temperament without assistance, leading to an unsuccessful adoption that ends in returning the dog or enduring many years of struggle. It’s important to note that the responsibility doesn’t solely fall on the adopter, as shelter employees themselves often misjudge their resident dogs.

Let me be your guide in the search for the ideal shelter dog that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle and preferences. Together, we’ll ensure you select a dog with the ideal character and temperament to suit your unique needs.

Our consultation not only aids in choosing the right dog, but also equips you with crucial information about essential preparations for your new dog's arrival. I'll provide you with comprehensive guidelines to ensure an organized welcome for your new family member, valuable insights on what you need to buy, setting essential house rules, and beginning your training from day one.

Obedience Consultation:

While most dog owners may not encounter aggressive behavior in their pet's lifetime, many will encounter challenges in obedience training at some point. Proper obedience training, when done correctly, can significantly enhance your relationship with your dog. A consultation is essential to assess both your readiness and your dog's readiness for a training program that focuses on strengthening the bond between you and your canine companion through motivation and positive reinforcement.
