Frequently Asked Questions
Send me a message from the home page. You will typically receive a response within 1-2 days via email to schedule a 30 minute online consult. There is no charge for this initial consult. The online consult will be via Zoom. If you do not have Zoom I can also arrange for alternate options such as Teams, Facetime or Whatsapp video.
Your initial 30-minute consult is a online chat where we get to know each other, talk about your dog, and explore what kind of support you’re looking for. It’s a chance for me to understand your goals, explain how I work, and for you to see whether I’m the right fit to help you and your dog. It is simply a no-pressure way to connect and ask questions, before moving forward and best of all, it is completely free.
Note: This consult is not the full assessment. If we decide to work together, I will then visit you in person, observe your dog, complete a full assessment, and create a training plan tailored to your needs.
