I would give 200% if I could
- [ ] When I approach something that I enjoy, I come at it with intense focus and determination. I apply this to my dog training by slowly and patiently getting to know the dog and what behaviors are being addressed. For better or worse I am also very stubborn so I won’t give up on your dog easily. In the event that I decide that I am not experienced enough to rectify the behavior I will refer to someone who is qualified to do so.

Consultation
- [ ] Initial consultation is usually about 60-90 minutes long. Discussion of what you require is about 30 minutes. Afterwards I would explain my training methods and the basics of training to you which would take approximately 20 minutes. Then you would get some practice on the training so that you are familiar with it (approx. 20 minutes). Afterwards we would recap on what was covered in the session and what to do going forward. This is also where we outline the plan for your dogs training.
Sessions
- [ ] In a typical 60 minute session there is the initial conversation with you about what your training goals are and if they have changed in between sessions as well as any homework from the previous session. Then we review learned behaviors and introduce new ones. Afterwards we review the treatment plan by looking at each section and going over any misunderstandings. And finally we recap on the lesson and I answer your questions.

- [ ] The LIMA approach, which stands for Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive, is a philosophy in dog training and behavior modification that emphasizes using the least amount of intervention necessary to achieve desired results while minimizing any potential harm or discomfort to the animal. It's a framework that prioritizes the well-being of the animal, focusing on positive reinforcement and gradually increasing the intensity of interventions only if necessary.
