These sessions are especially helpful for puppies or dogs that may be fearful or anxious in certain situations. Our trainers can bring along a neutral dog for socialization, take your dog on a field trip to a store, or practice relaxation exercises in new environments like a patio.

Getting Started: What You Can Expect
​​
Each new client begins with a comprehensive consultation/planning session, typically lasting around 60 minutes. This session is designed to help us get to know you, your dog, and your routines, so we can create a training plan that fits your lifestyle.
When we meet, we’ll start by reviewing your dog’s daily routine and discuss any adjustments that may be needed. We’ll then address your current challenges to gain a full understanding of what’s going on.
From there, we’ll set goals and establish management strategies, building a customized training plan to help you achieve your objectives. We’ll finish by reviewing the training plan to ensure it’s manageable for you, demonstrating where needed, answering any remaining questions, and providing homework to get you started. You’ll also receive a summary of your plan and follow-up notes via email.
Before we conclude, we’ll discuss options for skill-building sessions, if not previously arranged. These sessions are highly recommended to be scheduled 1-2 weeks apart to maintain consistency and ensure ongoing success in your training.
After your session, you’ll receive a detailed training plan with step-by-step instructions, handouts, and additional educational tools. This will be sent within 5-10 days of your appointment unless otherwise specified.
We encourage you to write down any questions before we meet, and you're welcome to take notes during the session (though it’s not required!).

Ongoing Support: Skill-Building Sessions
​
Skill-building sessions are offered in-person and can take place indoors or outdoors, with virtual sessions also available.
Your first skill-building session is typically scheduled about 2-3 weeks after your consultation. Additional sessions are recommended to be spaced 3-6 weeks apart depending on how much hands-on coaching you require.
These sessions are ideal for those who want hands-on guidance in implementing the training plan, need help refining specific skills, or want to stay on track with their progress through pre-booked appointments.​
