How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with a required Consultation & Evaluation, which includes an in-home observation of the dog and owner interaction, a short walk to assess behavior, and a written summary emailed within 5 business days. No training occurs during this session. After the evaluation, clients choose a program package and schedule sessions.
