PRIVATE LESSONSSkills-focused one-on-one coaching. |
BEHAVIOR CONSULTINGA comprehensive approach to behavior modification. |
Private Lessons help you and your dog make progress on specific skills in a single lesson. A 30-minute lesson can address 1-2 skills, and the 60-minute lesson can address 2-3. The number of lessons required to complete a skill depends on the complexity of the task, how thoroughly it needs to be trained, and you and your dog's starting place. | Behavior Consulting addresses problems for both humans and dogs by assessing the underlying motivations for your dog's behaviour. We also factor in your dog's environment, exercise, and enrichment, and communicate with any professionals needed to address potential medical contributions. |

Does this Service Address Problem Behaviors? |
|
When your dog just needs to learn HOW to do something differently, then YES! For example...
These kinds of behaviors are problematic for you, but from your dog's perspective, they are simply skills to be learned. Private Lessons give you one-on-one coaching to teach your dog the skills that will make living with them a joy. |
Absolutely and we fully support you through the process. In addition to skills training, Behavior Consultations allow you to develop the longer-term relationships and support systems needed to address to approach your dog in an all-encompassing, holistic manner and/or address challenging behaviour issues. You prefer a comprehensive approach where your trainer is just a few clicks away to answer questions and give feedbackThere is more than just a lack of skill driving your dog's behavior – complications such as medical issues, trauma or neglect during critical developmental periods, or underlying aggression, fear, or anxiety If either of these describe you or your dog, Behavior Consulting is the best fit. Behavior Consultation are designed to get to the root of your dog's behavior while providing you with the ongoing teaching and feedback that you'll need to support their progress and development. |
