Frequently Asked Questions

Send us a message from the home page. You will typically receive a response within 1-2 days via email to schedule a 30 minute online introductory call. There is no charge for this initial call. The online introductory call will be via Google meet. We can also arrange for alternate options such as Zoom, Teams, Facetime or Whatsapp video.

Your initial 30-minute introductory call is for us to chat and get to know each other, talk about your dog, and explore what kind of support you’re looking for. It’s a chance for us to understand your goals, explain how we work, and for you to see whether we are the right fit to help you and your dog. It is simple no-pressure way to connect and ask questions, before moving forward. Best of all, it is completely free.

Note: This is not a behaviour assessment. If we decide to work together, we will then visit you in person, observe your dog, complete a behaviour assessment, and create a training plan tailored to your needs.
