Frequently asked questions.
Do I need to have anything ready for your arrival?
Just your dog, a leash, collar and any other equipment you have been using. We will bring treats (unless your dog has specific allergies or a diet).
How does the first session work?
We come to you, and we will sit down and discuss any issues you’re having. We will then go through what you’ve tried, what did and did not work. Time permitting, we will take your dog out and see the issues. We prefer to take the dog without the owner the first time, as it shows us how much is the dog, and how much is the owner. Remember, training isn’t just about the dog, it’s about you too!
What sort of training methods do you use?
We are primarily balanced training based*. However we assess each dog and owner individually and alter our techniques to match your family. We are skilled with balanced and positive force free techniques.
*If you are seeing us for assistance dog training and accreditation, we will only use force free techniques
How long are the sessions?
Our initial consults are 60 minutes, then followed by 45 minutes walk and trains and hour long consults. However, this is completely dictated by the dog, and their ability to cope for the period of time. Some dogs will work successfully for an hour, others will work for 15-20 minutes.
We are all about quality, not quantity!
If sessions are only lasting a short period, we will work out a more suitable cost for you!
The Assistance dog initial consult is 90 minutes.
What issues do you help with?
We can assist with many behavioural issues. Ranging from dog reactivity, human reactivity, loose leash walking skills, working with anxious dogs, aggression behavioural modifications, assistance dog training, puppy development, obedience training, multi-dog household training. We will partner you to the right trainer to suit you and your situations.
