Meet and Greet Session

This is 2-hour introductory session to explore training options for your dog, both foundation behaviors and behavior modification protocols.

I will come to your home for the Meet & Greet. This will give us a chance to observe your dog’s interactions with a stranger, your dog’s daily environment, skills that your dog knows, and things that upset or frighten your dog. Please allot 1-1/2 to 2 hours for this session.

Booking Note: is used to hold the appointment; this does not equal payment you must still make your payment separately. You can pay at the time of booking, or if you prefer, I can invoice you. Payment is advance is required.

Will this "cure" my dog?

No; but it will give you tools to get started in changing your dog’s behavior and it will give your dog some new ways of interacting with the triggers that bother him.

Do you recall how long it takes you to change a bad habit? Your dog will need you to give him those same principles of patience, time, understanding and allow for an occasional setback.

This session will:

Give you, the owner, a chance to talk about your dog’s behaviors with a person who will listen and understands.
Gives you a chance to determine and outline realistic goals to change your dog’s behavior and the steps to get started.
Give your dog a chance to meet and interact with me in a training environment
Give me a chance to observe your dog, his daily environment, and prepare some steps to start changing behavior.

What is included:

The session will run between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how comfortable your dog is around strangers
A notebook of dog-related information, including guidelines for modifying behavior
A high-quality treat pouch
A 15’ long line
A Freedom No-Pull harness (or comparably-fitted harness based on your dog’s needs)

What we will be sure to cover:

Safety – this will always be the Number One Priority for you, your dog, other people, and other animals
Management – what tools you need to ensure Safety and to help your dog learn and progress in an environment that helps her feel safe.
Behavior Change Plan – this is where you learn and practice the skills needed to help your dog. Your dog learns new ways of responding to triggers that upset him.
Training and behavior change consists of:
- Choosing the correct environment for the training
- Correctly timed Order of Events with the exercises
- Appropriate reinforcement for the task at hand
- Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
