Live online behavior education & training services
ONE TO ONE COACHING
We develop customized training plans specific to your goals and your pet’s behavior needs and guide you through every step along the way.
One to one coaching starts with an Initial Assessment.* During this session we will further discuss your completed behavior history form and your behavior concerns as well as prioritize your goals. We will then recommend a training package that is tailored for you and your pet. In addition, we will review pet safety and management strategies, pet communication and basic training principles to provide immediate assistance and set you up to begin a training package.
Training packages allow for consistent sessions and communication for the most efficient and effective training results. Included is a specified number of training sessions, shared online journal for communication between sessions, additional supplemental materials as needed.
*Exceptions
- Packages you are able to purchase as a new client have an initial assessment built in
- Stand alone single sessions available for those having pets under the care of a DACVB that need extra guidance to implement prescribed training and behavior modification exercises.
CLASSES
Classes have a more generalized curriculum for common pet training topics. Meet fellow pet owners with similar interests and/or challenges while having the opportunity to learn through participation as well as observation of others. These classes are small in size to ensure some personal attention and successful learning for you and your pet.
Each class will include supplemental resources so the focus of our class time together is guiding you through interactive activities with your pet. During our virtual classes you will mostly be practicing at the same time as other participants however in some instances you may be highlighted individually. Additional time will be allotted for questions and short discussions at each meeting. Some classes will have accompanying Facebook Groups for additional training tips, challenges and instruction. Expect enthusiasm, encouragement and maybe even a little friendly competition.
