The Perfect Start Package – What’s Included:
Initial Training Session (90 mins)
- What Happens:
- In-Home Visit – Miss B will visit your home to assess your dog’s behaviour in their usual environment
- Discussion of Background & History – Every dog has a story and I want to hear yours! Understanding their past, daily life, previous training, skills and challenges helps me understand your situation and your training goals
- Behaviour Observation – While we’re chatting, I’ll be keenly observing how you and your dog interact and communicate. Observing their body language, reactions, and quirks in real-time in a neutral setting helps me establish a starting point for our training plan
- Connecting the Dots – Training can feel a lot like learning a new language, but don’t worry—I’ll translate the “bark to human” dictionary for you. I’ll use simplified examples and relatable anecdotes to help you understand why your dog does what they do and how to guide them toward behaviours you’ll love. Think of me as your doggie dictionary!
- Jump Into Action – After all that blabbing, I’ll show you exactly what to do with simple, hands-on exercises, and then get you started on your homework with a chance for some real-time feedback (yes, there will be homework!)
Two Follow-Up Training Sessions (60 mins each)
- This is where the *magic* really happens and progress begins to take shape:
- Celebrate the Wins – We’ll build on what’s working and lock in those golden moments of progress so they become second nature for you and your dog
- Fine-Tune and Adjust – No cookie-cutter solutions here. Training isn’t one-size-fits-all. As you practice, adjustments will be needed – I’ll help you adjust and refine the plan to tackle any curveballs your dog throws at us
- Skill-Building – We can only cover so much in each session, so follow-ups are essential for success. We’ll layer new skills, proof progress and ensure you’re confident every step of the way. Each session builds on the last, helping you and your dog grow together.
** Follow-ups are typically scheduled 1-2 weeks apart, giving you time to practice, maintain your momentum, and see progress unfold. Follow-up sessions can be held at home or “out in the wild,” like parks or stores, to help prepare you and your dog for real-world situations.**
