The Training and Behavior Consult is the first step in training your dog. It brings together all family members living with the dog for the purpose of functioning as a team. All family members must be on the same page in order for our dogs to efficiently learn. Helping to educate owners on understanding the dogs “needs” becomes essential so he can meet yours for a successful relationship. Understanding things like the “canine system” of communication is key to preventing mixed messages so that learning for both dog and owner can be maximized.
This in home consult works as a platform for needed education, exercises and techniques that will begin to connect or reconnect owners with their dogs. Understanding current behaviors, how to foster desirable behavior and how to prevent undesirable behavior from being learned are the first steps towards a balanced relationship between you and your dog.
You will also be provided with an overall structured management program to follow which includes specific exercises, techniques, tools and vocabulary to begin practicing for improved communication, control and harmonious living. Most management criteria is temporary as the dog and handler go through a process of skill building.
Once this consult has been conducted, it will be followed up with detailed private lessons until handler and dog posses enough skill to transition into a group class if desired.
