👋We are a mobile dog training service 🚐. We come to YOU! We coach you with one on one lessons, and give a plethora of knowledge to help you get on the right path with your dog.
1. During your one-on-one coaching session, this is YOUR education. We encourage you to take notes, however, we do take notes for you as well in the back of your handout. We are sharing over 20 years experience in the plan of approach with your dog.
2. You are an ACTIVE participant in the training. We don't come to you and train your dog for you. We coach and train YOU. Be ready to get involved, and have fun too!
3. Your dog should be HUNGRY 😋. There are only so many tools you can use to motivate a dog to work and learn. The best, funnest, and clearest way to communicate and train a dog is through food. We will be working with food with you and your dog. If your dog is not motivated by food, not feeding them their meal prior will help. Please prepare your dog the best you can prior to our first meeting. If you are reluctant to use food or are not interested in using food, please let us know. We can approach things from many angles, and help you meet your goals.
4. Homework 📒should be practiced daily to see results. Please do what is instructed if you want to see change. Most of this is you learning how to work, handle, and speak to your dog differently. Learning and performing new patterns will result in your dog reacting differently to you. This progress takes time and repeptition.
These expectations are what make the training effective. We want you to succeed, and to be independent, and eventually not need us anymore. That is the whole point! 🤗
Thank you for considering us for your dog training needs! Feel free to send us a message if you have any questions!
