Getting Started

How it Works

Please fill out the New Client Form to get started. You’ll find the form under the Contact tab.

After I receive your form, I will contact you for more information and/or to schedule an initial consultation. This can take place on zoom, at my office, or some other agreed upon location.

The initial consultation includes 60 minutes of in-person time wherein we go over your dog’s history, including any health concerns, living environment, routine, behavior challenges, and training goals. In addition, I will spend 30 minutes preparing an initial training/learning plan for you and your dog. This often includes compiling a set of handouts responsive to your training/learning goals and interests.

As part of the initial consultation we may discuss your dog’s behavior, learning style, and preferred reinforcers (e.g., food, play, scratches). We may also discuss how you can meet your dog’s individual physical, mental and social needs to assist with behavior and/or emotional/physical shifts. We will work together to come up with a plan that is sustainable for both you and your dog. If needed, I will outline a management plan to help you get relief from undesirable behaviors while working on training. Finally, together we will create a road map with some clear and attainable training goals. This road map may include training for life skills, canine fitness, or neurophysical learning. I will prepare a plan to fit your needs and interests.
