Semper Gumby
Pragmatic and blend animal needs and boundaries for people (esp. children and older folks) into overall behavior and decorum. Well mannered and well exercised and healthy dogs and people are the goal.
Behavior experience
Training skill set
What to expect
Consultation
Its introductions so dog, you, environment all are important to understand. Concerns, strengths, personality, fears, etc are also very important in the beginning of a training program.
Sessions
Every day can be different and need to be adjusted for, but if the dog is healthy I will focus on warm ups with previously understood tasks before introducing new ones. Family/other handlers need to know what 'normal' looks like and what is expected. Ex: verbal and nonverbal cues need to be consistent and consistently enforced.
More info
Understand the dog first and adjust approach from there. Training pace is driven by performance and endurance of dog. Once new skills are learned and reinforced can move on to new skills while bringing others into the command space.

Schedule various for me so ideally a week or so ahead of time finding common/convenient time for sessions would be best. End goal objectives are good to know up front.
