Consultation
Feel free to message me prior to deciding to book a consult with any questions. The consultation is up to 60 minutes in your home or over video chat. We’ll go over history, concerns, and goals. We will get a start on learning new skills and any quick feasible tips to help give instant relief/ management. Within 24-48 hours after the consultation, I will send a follow up report with homework and an outlined plan for future sessions.
Sessions
During a typical follow up session, I will check in for questions and review skills from the previous session. We will revisit the training plan and make adjustments as needed. Then, the fun part- I will coach you on improving your relationship with your dog through learning more skills/ cues! Ask for details on Day Training or Decompression Walks. A 6-10 ft leash, well fitted harness (preferably Y-shaped), and collar are required for all services.
