 "Behavioral assesment" - "Help & Advice" - "Follow-up"

I. "Behavioral assessment" (Consultation before 101 home training)

1) BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT (Familly & dog) : 

In order to set up your behavioral assessment, we will discuss together about your family situation:

  • Your household environement & daily habits with the dog and your family
  • Dogs'issues : Behavioral issues encountered, state of mind, Energy...
  • Your training expectations & request, Training you've already have done (if you have seen previous dog trainers)
  • Help you to understand and solve some issues with advies & tips
  • In the light of our consultation, give you directly an "approximative" home training overiew (budget, nb sessions), before
  • Sending you an accurate Estimate with Tailor-made program training related to your dogs'& family needs

2) INITIAL CONTACT- CONSULTATION :

A first phone consultation (or video if you prefer) is requered previously to coming  for in-home training :

  • For you: To understand how we work , to figure out if our "balanced training" approach is the right one for you, what you can realistically expect (or not) in terms of budget, number of sessions and your involvement and dedication in training with your dog and so that you don't lose your money with an in-home training if that training doesn't meet your expectations.
  • For us: To see if we can work together as we need your participation, if you trust our method, we want to be sure that you will take part in the training because we will not "magically fix" your dog but you will have to do this work yourself... During Remote or home training we will "simply" (but always with dedication, time, lot of energy) help you to understand how you can get the change you want with your dog.

With our 13 years of experience, we know that best behavioral modification and training results we've obtained is always when/with people are ready to change themselves (before they want to change the dog) and that we can unfortunatly not help all people.


As our goal is to have the best results for our clients, we are looking for quality of training and not quantity (of clients)... Therefore, we are not afraid to lose "potential" clients if we see that we will not be able to help them: Self-Leadership, Self impowering, facing our fears, changing false beliefs, changing our daily habits and interaction with the dog... being honest enough with ourselves about a potentially toxic relationship we may have with our dog is not given to everyone. For these people, it may be more helpful to work directly with a dog trainer who will try to fix the dog (without dealing with the owner).

 

🎁 NOTE : "Refunded " consultation if you commit to follow a Training program  (Min 2 sessions : 1st meeting + Follow-up)

 

2. Help & Advice Consultation (with no need to do dog training)


  • You don't have a dog yet! And you're considering adopting a puppy from a breeder or a shelter. You'd like advice on the dog's breed or the first steps to take when welcoming it (equipment to buy, food) and the keys to a good start (behavior, leash walking, etc.).
  • You've just adopted your dog (puppy or shelter) and you want the keys to a good start.
  • You have an adult dog with behavioral issues but you don't need home training. You'd like advice, guidance, or help with a specific behavior.

 

3. Follow-up (After home Consultation or program training)


If you have already done training in the past (recently or several years ago) and you would like a follow-up consultation regarding what was worked on or for a new behavior

 

 



 

 

Behavior Assessment Consultation is the first appointment previously to any dog training program (One-On-One home training and program training)

 

 

 

The goal of this first coaching session is to start with a Behavioral assessment to evaluate different points and then to jump into practice (with diffrents technics, tips, strategies and understanding of dog Psuchology) : 

 

This first session will give you an overview of what you can expected with your dog and how the Leadership Approach is more adopting a "life style" instead "doing dog training".

 

 

 A Life changing tool doesn't need a hard training work, time and money...It just need the right understanding

 What you can expect ?

 

  1. ME : This first Consultation Will give us a better understanding of your situation with details of dog's issues you encountere and consequentely be able to evaluate, what would be the best training formula that will fit to your needs, during the a next phase on "ONE-ON-ONE HOME TRAINING".
  2. YOU : Behavioral assessment will give you a better understanding on our approach witch is mostly  :"working and focusing on owners (empowering their leadership skills) to change dog's behavior". In other terms, "We will coach you , for you to be able to train your dog on the best way possible"... Therefore and before taking any commitment on a training program, you need, first, to figure out if my approach meet yours expectations !
  3. TOGETHER : As a "in home behavior modification training requires trust, integrety and team work, it is also important that  both of us are on the same page for doing this training together, with your family.
  4. We will also give you some tips & advies that can help you to start behavior modification after your first consultation.

Why  doing a remote coaching as a 1st appointment ?


 

1) Behaviorla assessment : For you to explain behavioral issues you encounterd with your dog, strategy you already done in the past (working or not), what are your expectations in terms of training and what type of training you want/need (in function of you budget, time and dog issues)

 

 

2) Behavioral Basic/fundamentals in dog training : Understanding how your dog communicate with you, why he seems to not undersatand what you are waiting from him ... How to apply dog psychology >< human psychology, Body language >< vocal language, reading Energy/State of mind to avoid behavior issues, Rising your "Pack leadership" skill, Understanding the "balanced training" >< "positive reinforcement exclusively" ( how it can often be conterproductif when it is reinforcing positively a unwanted behavior)

 

 

3) Step immediatly into the training : to solve your dog issues by your own inbetween session (before working on one-on-one with the dog at your location)... This will also allow us to do correction, some reajustemment on what your already did apply/understood, when we will meet for the first home session (it will be already a follow-up session on some issues)

 

 

4) Optimazing Home training session (or decreasing additional training) : Consequently,

this upstream training will allow you to decrease the duration of a training program therefore you can spare time (and money)

  1. Lots of issues can be solved remotely as I am working on the" root cause", witch is the relation/interaction, habits, beliefs (or fear , projection), rules, boundaries, limitation between dog and family members... I will "coach you", for you to "train your dog"
  2. You will already see/have results from this first session, as you will recieve Major help that will be very useful : tips, technics, advice, understanding, that will help you (even if you don't follow a training program after this remote coaching)

 

 

5) Team work absolute priority : As it is a Team work, dedication and mutual trust is a key to have good results in the long run

Therfore, it is important that the magic happens between us and that you can see if this type of training approach is the right one for you and if you want to go deeper with my expertise.
