Initial consultation

To change a behaviour, we need to understand the motivations and learning experiences behind it. That’s why the initial consultation forms the basis for our work together.

Does your dog…

• …struggle to settle down?
• …bark at other dogs or people?
• …find it hard to be left alone?
• …only have eyes for the hares on your walks?
• …chase after bicycles?

These are just a few examples of the kind of topics this session can cover. Here we focus specifically on your individual challenge.

The goal of the initial consultation

The initial consultation is where I get to know you, your dog, your everyday life, your strengths, your challenges and your questions, and where we jointly define your training goals.

That way I can advise you holistically afterwards and develop an individual training path for you as a human-dog team.

The initial consultation includes

• Preparation time
• Analysis of the human-dog team
• Discussing your challenge(s)
• Jointly defining your training goals
• Recommendations for first training steps
• Follow-up, including a written training plan
