The Evaluation Process
Every dog is different. Before training begins, we take the time to understand your dog, the challenges you're dealing with, and what you'd like training to accomplish.
Our evaluation process helps us determine which of our training programs best fits your dog and your goals, while also identifying any behavioral concerns or individual needs that may affect training.
The goal is simple: recommend the right level of training without putting your dog into a longer program than necessary.
What the Evaluation Is
The evaluation helps us get a clear picture of your dog, your goals, and what training would be the best fit.
We’ll look at things like:
Your dog’s current behavior and temperament
Leash manners and basic obedience
Daily routines and household challenges
Behavior around people, dogs, and distractions when applicable
Your goals and what you want life with your dog to look like
What the Evaluation Is Not
The evaluation is not a training session or a quick fix. Its purpose is to understand what’s going on, answer your questions, and determine the most appropriate training path for your dog.
After the Evaluation
After the evaluation, we’ll recommend the training program that best matches your dog’s needs and your goals.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:
Which training program we recommend
What will be covered during training
What results are realistic for your dog
What will be expected from you after training
Available training dates and next steps
Not every dog needs the longest program. Our goal is to recommend the level of training that gives your dog the best chance for lasting success.
