How Does It Work?
Step 1 Contact
Fill out my contact form (located here) with some basic information about you and your dog's needs. From there, I’ll be in touch to arrange an initial consultation date, time and location..
Step 2 Payment & Terms
You’ll be sent an online invoice alongside my terms and conditions. Payment must be received at least seventy-two hours before the consultation takes place.
Step 3 Preparation
I’ll email you a list of things you will need and expectations I will have for our consultation. You can also ask me any questions you’d like so we can make sure the consultation runs as smoothly as possible.
Step 4 Consultation
We’ll have our hour initial consultation, where you’ll gain understanding of why your dog behaves the way that they do and the knowledge of how to change your dog's behaviour.
One session will not resolve complex behavioural issues but, one session can provide the framework to help you begin the journey towards your training goal.
Step 5 Follow Up
I’ll send over your training plan as well as any resources/videos that are relevant to you and your dog.
Step 6 Next Steps
From there we’ll discuss which one of my training options will suit your continued needs. Some of my clients find one session is enough to manage and address their issues, but most opt to continue working with me to realise their dogs potential.
