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.
