During the initial session, performed either in your home or online, we will discuss the driving forces behind your dog's behavior and go over important methods to address these concerns at their root. Since each dog and human is different, what we discuss and demonstrate is individualized to your specific needs - i.e. basic puppy skills, obedience, separation anxiety, reactivity/aggression, fear, etc.
In follow up sessions, we will continue to apply the methods and progress the skills addressed in our initial session. We will also begin adding additional skills or behaviors after the foundational skills have been solidly set. This may include meeting outside of the home (i.e. at a park, downtown, etc.) as needed for the lesson. Follow up sessions usually last about 1 hour, depending on questions and the lessons being addressed.
