Initial Consultation – Building the Foundation for Success $110 / 60 min

Your first session with us is the cornerstone of our training partnership. This is where we get to know you and your dog, understand your unique needs, and lay the groundwork for a tailored training plan.  

To keep it relaxed and natural, I’ll join you and your dog on a walk. This allows me to observe your dog’s behavior in everyday situations—how they interact with the world, respond to distractions, and communicate with you.

During our consultation, we will:  

- Observe your dog’s behavior in different contexts

- Discuss your daily life with your dog—what’s working well, what could improve, and your top priorities 

- Define clear, achievable training goals together

After our consultation, I’ll carefully analyze gathered information and design a customized training approach tailored to your lifestyle. I’ll then share this plan with you, and we’ll refine it together to ensure it fits seamlessly into your routine.  

This collaborative process ensures that your training journey is effective, enjoyable, and perfectly aligned with what matters most to you.  

Why Our Approach Works

While genetics and early experiences can influence behavior, we believe that lasting change comes from understanding the why behind your dog's actions—not just managing the symptoms.

Every dog has unique motivations, instincts, and unmet needs that drive their behavior. By taking a holistic approach, we look at the full context of your dog’s life—their environment, instincts, and your household dynamics—to create solutions that address the root cause of challenges.

Our goal isn’t just to train behaviors but to foster harmony by working with your dog’s nature, not against it.
