FAQ

The evaluation can be done in your home, at my property, or in a public setting. We will decide on the location together based on any potential behavioral issues that we may want to see.

An evaluation consists of a lot of observing and a lot of talking in detail. I may take the leash and work with your dog a little bit, test food drive, see how they interact with me vs with you, etc. We will discuss in detail your dog's behavior, come up with a training plan, and I will recommend what I think would be the best program for you and your dog to reach your goals. I often will demo the usage of certain tools/practices using my own personal dog to show you firsthand how things work. I like to get any questions you may have for me answered and make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and committed to moving forward with training! Or, we may decide that we are not a good fit, and that's okay too. I have several trusted trainers who I can refer you to if this is the case.

The evaluation fee is $100, credited toward any services with me that you choose to book.

An additional mileage fee is included if I am traveling to your home out of my service area.

Generally yes, but I do make exceptions on a case by case basis. It is important to me that we are the right fit to work together moving forward, as I like to maintain a close relationship with my clients for the lifetime of their pup.
