Initial Consultation & Training Theory ONLINE!

Our dog training journey begins with a comprehensive Initial Consultation, where we take the time to understand your dog’s unique needs, behavior patterns, and your training goals. This session is essential for laying the foundation for a successful training experience.

What Happens During the Initial Consultation:

• Behavioral Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of your dog’s current behavior, temperament, and any specific issues you want to address.
• Owner Interview: We discuss your dog’s history, daily routine, and any previous training experiences. This helps us understand the root causes of any behavioral issues and your expectations.
• Goal Setting: Together, we establish clear, realistic goals for your dog’s training, whether it’s improving obedience, correcting behavioral problems, or learning new skills.

Teaching the Theory Behind Our Training Methods:

• Understanding Canine Psychology: We believe that effective training starts with a solid understanding of how dogs think and learn. During this session, we’ll explain the principles of canine psychology, including how dogs communicate, their natural instincts, and how they perceive the world.
• Positive Reinforcement: We use evidence-based, positive reinforcement techniques that reward good behavior, making learning enjoyable and effective for your dog.
• Consistency and Timing: You'll learn about the importance of consistency in training and how timing your rewards or corrections appropriately can significantly impact your dog’s learning process.
• Avoiding Common Mistakes: We’ll go over common training pitfalls, such as mixed signals or unintentional reinforcement of undesirable behaviors, and how to avoid them.

What You’ll Gain:

• A deeper understanding of your dog’s behavior and how to influence it positively.
• The confidence to apply training techniques effectively at home.
• A customized training plan designed to address your dog’s specific needs.

This initial consultation is a crucial step towards a harmonious relationship with your dog. By understanding the theory behind our training methods, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to support your dog’s learning and development long after our sessions together.
